Trivia[]
- Both he and Leaf were once considered Pure Good due to their heroic actions and apparent lack of corrupting qualities. However, it was noted that, due to so many protagonists of later games doing more admirable actions than them, they were removed, and later approved as Near Pure Good, but it was later found that their preventions are too severe and so they are now removed from NPG, and they are now Heroic Benchmarks.
