Roxanne/Quotes

These are Roxanne's quotes in the Pokémon games.

In the core series

Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald
Rustboro Gym
  • Before battle
"Hello, I am Roxanne, the Rustboro Pokémon Gym Leader. I became a Gym Leader so that I may apply what I learned at the Pokémon Trainer's School in battle. Would you kindly demonstrate how you battle, and with which Pokémon?"
  • Being defeated
"So… I lost… It seems that I still have much more to learn… I understand. The Pokémon League's rules state that Trainers are to be given this if they defeat a Gym Leader. Please accept the official Pokémon League Stone Badge."
  • After being defeated
"The Stone Badge heightens the attack power of your Pokémon. It also enables them to use the HM move Cut outside of battle. Please take this with you, too."
"That TM39 contains Rock Tomb. It not only inflicts damage by dropping rocks, it also lowers speed. If you use a TM, it instantly teaches the move to a Pokémon. Remember, a TM can be used only once, so think before you use it."RS
"That Technical Machine, TM39, contains Rock Tomb. It not only inflicts damage by dropping rocks, it also lowers speed. If you use a TM, it instantly teaches the move to a Pokémon. Remember, a TM can be used only once, so think before you use it."E
"Since you are so strong, you should challenge other Gym Leaders. By battling many Trainers, you should learn many things."
Match CallE
  • Before registering her
"Oh, hello, <player>? This is Roxanne of Rustboro City. I heard from Brawly that you're moving up through the ranks of Trainers at an incredible clip. Well, I'd rather not think that I can't beat you. I promise, I will shape up my Gym so that you may challenge us again. I hope you'll be looking forward to that occasion as much as me!"
  • After registering her
"Oh, hello, <player>! I've been hard at work retraining since we met. I will still need some more time before I can reopen the Gym. But when I do, please visit my Gym for a rematch!"
  • After defeating Champion, before rematch is available
"Is this <player>? Congratulations! I've been hearing about you! As for me, I need some more time before I can reopen the Gym. But when I do, please visit my Gym for a rematch!"
  • When rematch is available
"<Player>! My Gym is ready! Please visit Rustboro whenever you can!"
  • After a rematch
"At the Rustboro Gym, the fact that we battled, <player>, is a matter of pride."
RematchE
  • Before battle
"I'm so glad to see you again. I'm Roxanne, the Gym Leader here. I'm sure we've both experienced many battles since we last met. I would like to see how much better we've become. Let us battle!"
  • Being defeated
"Grr… Again, I have lost…"
  • After being defeated
"I still have much to learn when it comes to battling Pokémon. That awareness makes me love battling all that much more!"

  • After being defeated

  • After winning
"I won in my battles because I've been able to apply what I've learned."
  • In the lobby, after the tournament

Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire Special Demo Version
Mossdeep City
"Brawly… You are as tough as a rock."

Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire
Rustboro Gym
  • Upon first entering Gym
"Hello. You must be a new challenger. I am Roxanne, the Rustboro City Pokémon Gym Leader. I became a Gym Leader so that I may apply in battle all that I've learned at the Pokémon Trainers' School. If you defeat me in a Pokémon battle, I'll present you with a Gym Badge as proof of your strength as a Trainer. Please take up the challenge. I look forward to seeing you as a challenger. Until then, farewell."
  • Before battle
"Just as I expected… I knew you and your Pokémon would be able to get this far. Now, would you kindly demonstrate how you battle with your Pokémon?"
  • Being defeated
"So… I lost… It seems that I still have much more to learn…"
  • After being defeated
"I understand. The Pokémon League's rules state that Trainers receive this if they defeat a Gym Leader. Please accept the official Pokémon League Stone Badge."
"The Stone Badge enables Pokémon to use the HM move Cut outside of battle. All Pokémon up to Level 20, even those you get in trades, will also obey you. And… Please take this with you, too."
"The move Rock Tomb not only inflicts damage by dropping rocks, it also lowers the target's Speed. If you use a TM, it instantly teaches the move to a Pokémon. You can use a TM as many times as you want, so please try it out!"
  • Talked to again after the battle
"Since you are so strong, you should challenge other Gym Leaders, too. By battling many Trainers, you'll likely learn many things."
"I have a friend who shares my keen interest in collecting stones. His name's Steven. He's known for his serious expression, but when it comes to rare stones or Steel-type Pokémon, his eyes light up. He gets animated, and his expression changes, showing an unexpected charming side."
  • After becoming Champion
"Congratulations on becoming the Champion. I sometimes remember the day I handed you the Stone Badge. I felt so uplifted from our battle! It would make me happy if we could battle again someday."
Fossil Maniac's house
"Oh, don't say that! Please, I'm begging you!"
"I know I'm asking the impossible, but please! Oh, I can specially give you a Stone Badge… …Oh! What am I saying? No, no way! There's no way I would use a Badge entrusted from the Pokémon League for such a purpose… Ah… but… I want… I really… want the Fossil."
"Sob… sob… Sob… sob… Sorry. I'm ashamed of myself. You're absolutely right… I was behaving like a spoiled child… Now, I'll excuse myself…"

Story Event - The Girl in Black and White
  • The Sweets Festival!
"Are they really that good?"
"Oh, I already know what they look like! I did some research before coming here today."
"I want to know how they taste. What about the texture? Are they more creamy or airy? What do you like most about Casteliacones?"
"I want to figure out why certain things become popular. What is it about them that makes so many people go crazy?"
"It's important to be eager to learn, no matter what the topic is. The same goes for applying that knowledge to your Pokémon battles."
"I...suppose that's true. All right, then! I'll look forward to tasting one myself!"
"Excuse me! What do you think you're doing? Cutting in line is against the rules."
"Regardless, I won't tolerate rule-breaking! Now march yourself right to the back of the line."
  • Plan vs. Action
"The two of you are quite strong, aren't you... I'm impressed!"
"Although...your battle style is a bit on the reckless side."
"Interesting... I guess I've never really thought of it that way."
I prefer to think first, act later!: "I knew you'd say that! Great minds think alike, <player>."
"Oh, really? Well, maybe another battle will help Hilda see sense when it comes to the importance of good planning."
"My thorough planning and calm, cool analysis seem to have done the trick."
"When it comes to battle style, we really are complete opposites, aren't we..."
"But we managed to win despite that. I don't understand—"
"But we've waited all this time! I can't believe we missed out."
"Um, can I help you with something?"
"Hey, look! He's got four Casteliacones!"
  • Synergy beyond Analysis?!
"We did it! That was some excellent teamwork!"
"Our styles may be totally different, but when we were battling together, it felt like something just clicked."
"Thank you, Thorton!"
"Wait... Oh no!"
"I can't believe this... After all that buildup, I don't even get to taste one?"
"Wait—pause! Melted or not, the ingredients are all still there. Melting shouldn't change the flavor, right?!"
"That's not a bad idea. Like you said before, waiting in line is part of what makes Casteliacones delicious, right?"
"I'm sure they'll taste even more amazing after spending all that time with you and <player>!"
Sync Pair Story - A Day with Roxanne
"My sincerest apologies for summoning you here so suddenly."
"The truth is, <player>, I would like to borrow some of your wisdom, if I may."
Sure, ask me anything!: "Thank you so much!"
"I had a feeling you would say that."
Can I be of use to you?: "Why, of course you can!"
You can be an immense help to me, <player>."
"As for why I've asked you here, it's about the Trainers' School in Rustboro City."
"I've been given the opportunity to instruct some more junior Trainers."
"I'm having trouble thinking of what sort of problems I could give them that would make for an enjoyable, educational experience."
"I'm thinking of doing a hands-on lesson."
"I thought that escaping a cave such as this one would be a good start, but I haven't thought of what should come next."
"I've asked Nosepass for advice, but she just stays quiet and faces north."
Why north?: "Nosepass is magnetic, so that's typical behavior."
Maybe she's worried.: "That could be, but facing north is also typical Nosepass behavior."
"Her magnetic nose is always facing north, and she can also control magnetism."
"If you lose your way, as long as Nosepass is with you, you'll know roughly which direction you're headed."
"When you're on a journey, her behavior can be quite useful!"
You could use that in a lesson.: "If the lesson were on escaping from a cave..."
"Yes, that's it!"
Maybe it could be useful not just when you're traveling?: "When we're not traveling? Is there some other way Nosepass's compass could prove useful?"
"..."
"Of course! A lesson on escaping from a cave!"
"Nosepass's habit of facing north and her capacity to control magnetism..."
"Both are perfect for a lesson on how to escape from a cave!"
"I think her facing north is good."
"If students use her habit of facing north..."
"I think I could make a maze that requires them to use Nosepass as a compass!"
"I think her controlling magnetism is good."
"If the students use her power to control magnetism..."
"I could design a maze that makes them use Nosepass to escape from a cave tinged with magnetism!"
"Thank you so much, <player>!"
"With such an exciting lesson, I'm sure the students will enjoy it!"
"I knew consulting you was the right answer!"
It's all thanks to Nosepass./I'm glad you solved your problem!: "Thank you, too, Nosepass."
"Thanks to you, I was able to find the correct answer to my problem.
"I was only thinking about what sort of lesson to give some junior Trainers."
"Now I realized I've learned quite a bit myself!"
"There's still so much for me to learn from you and Nosepass, <player>!"
Sync Pair Story - Nosepass's Evolution
  • Before battle
"Hmm... Why won't my Nosepass evolve?"
"*giggle* That answer is so you, Brawly."
"You're right. We might not be able to see it, but we're definitely making progress.
"I'm sorry, Nosepass. I should have been more relaxed like you. Let's take this one step at a time."
"Why, of course! Nosepass is the best partner I could ever want!"
"You taught me so much in that battle, Brawly. Thank you very much!"
"Hm? What's wrong, Nosepass? Wait, could it be..."
"It looks like keeping at it really did help you evolve, huh? I'm so happy for you, Nosepass!"
Sync Pair Story - Cranidos's Evolution
  • Before battle
"Ah, hello Roark! I came here for fossil excavation, but I've been rather unlucky so far..."
"You say that...but it seems like your Cranidos has found a lot of fossils."
"I accept your challenge! I may not have had luck with the fossils, but I won't need luck in a Pokémon battle!"
  • After being defeated
"I can't believe I lost..."
"But such power... Your attacks would probably allow you to pulverize an entire mineshaft on your own!"
Pokémon Center

  • Random conversation

  • If spoken to again
"Even a rock can be as beautiful as a jewel or the stars in the night sky."
"But you have something that shines just as brightly..."
"Your passion. That hot, burning passion is something that every Trainer should have."
  • Random conversation
"Nosepass is a beautiful Pokémon!"
"Her firm stance, her well-featured face..."
"She is absolutely beautiful, like an avatar of beauty itself."
"She is not flashy, but her rugged look is what makes her so beautiful."
  • If spoken to again
"I want Nosepass to make her mark on a shiny stage one day, too."
"Because Nosepass is still a gem in the rough!"
  • Random conversation
"You can see a Trainer's preference even in something as simple as a battle."
"I like battles when I can predict the outcome."
"But what I like even more are..."
"battles with you for which no amount of studying could ever prepare me for!"
"Those battles get so hot that we could melt boulders!"
  • If spoken to again
"I have so many things I can learn from battles with you, <player>."
"I just hope that you have something that you can learn from them, too."
  • Random conversation
"Do you like to study? I absolutely love it!"
"The more I learn, the more I feel that I am polishing myself..."
"very much like a rock being polished into a gem, and I love that feeling."
  • If spoken to again
"I don't need a break! I love to learn."
"But I do want to learn more about Pasio."
"Rumors say that there are buildings with fossils in the walls..."
"Uh, no! It's nothing. Forget I said anything!"
  • Random conversation
"Would you like to study with me? The romantic secrets of the rocks?"
"For example, the fossils buried in the walls... Even living creatures become rocks!"
"Learning is wanting to know more. That is what is important."
"Let's study the mysteries of Rock-type Pokémon together!"
  • If spoken to again
"To be able to talk with me this much... Are you, by chance, a rock maniac like me?"
"How splendid! Please be my rock pal!"
"I have to introduce you to Steven, too! He's also my rock pal!"
"Please come by the Rustboro Gym sometime and battle me! We'll use our best Rock-type Pokémon!"

"In whatever you do, there's informational knowledge and practical knowledge that you have to consider."
