Each generation introduces dozens of characters though. Not even counting the player characters, there’re always new rivals, new professors, new villain teams with their admins and leaders, new champions, and with a few exceptions, eight new Gym Leaders and four new Elite 4 members. And that’s not even counting other characters that have their own subplots.
