Android is a trainer in the Pokémon Tales franchise, debuting in Pokémon Tales: Wyatt. Android is a nickname given to him by Wyatt, as his real name is Trip.

Character

Android is an apathetic trainer, expressing no emotion at any time. He sees the task of completing the Pokédex in a logical sense, and that means trading to record the Pokémon then trading again, as owning all of the Pokémon of the world seems illogical. This logic eventually extended to him battling gym leaders, as the more badges he owns, the higher his ranking would be in the online trading community. He doesn't take credit when he hasn't earned it, not taking credit for helping fight Lawrence when he really did it out of self interest.

He is very punctual, giving a specific time for a trade to occur by, and almost leaving when the other person wasn't there on time.

He doesn't give out personal information, even to those he's trading with. Android is not his name, but instead a nickname given to him by Wyatt, who needed something to call him by. His real name is Trip. However, he seems to have no problem with his own name, not understanding the implications of his name when joked about by Wyatt.

Android is able to evaluate everything by statistics and percentages, identifying the chances of any particular scenario occurring. He is often taken aback when occurrences with a low percentage of being fulfilled come true.
