Not sure if a thread like this already exists, but I've been wondering about what might be the Natures of Ash's and other main characters' Pokemon. In the SM saga it was confirmed that Sophocles's Vikavolt has a Mild Nature, which I think is the first time a Pokemon's Nature has been stated outright in the anime itself. It made me wonder about other Pokemon, since we might actually be able to guess some of them by looking at their personalities. Though interestingly enough, there are certain events in the games that give away Pokemon owned by anime characters that do confirm their Natures, such as:
- Ash's Pikachu is either Hardy or Naughty (events tend to flip-fop a lot on this one; the Ash's Hat Pikachus are all Hardy, but there have been other Ash's Pikachu events that peg him as Naughty. I personally tend to think that Hardy's the more accurate one due to Pikachu's general tenacity, but a case could be made for Naughty by looking at the earlier series when Pikachu had a meaner and more mischievous streak to him even after he started trusting Ash. Then again, it's possible that in the anime Pokemon can just change their Natures outright, so who even knows)
- Ash's Charizard is Adamant (according to an I Choose You! tie-in event. Or at least that incarnation of him is, but since it's heavily implied that it's still the same character even in that alternate reality it's very likely that "prime" Charizard is Adamant as well)
- Ash's Unfezant is Hardy
- Iris's Axew is Naïve
- Cilan's Pansage is Brave
- Serena's Braixen is Hardy
- Serena's Pancham is Adamant
- Lillie's Vulpix is Modest
- Kiawe's Turtonator is Brave
- Mallow's Tsareena is Naïve
- Ash's Squirtle- Impish
- Ash's Sceptile- Serious
- Ash's Corphish- Sassy
- Ash's Snivy- Calm
- Ash's Lucario- Rash
- Ash's Farfetch'd- Adamant
- Ash's Dragonite- Gentle
- Serena's Sylveon- Timid
- Goh's Cinderace- Jolly
- Goh's Sobble- Timid
