Hello reader. Today I want to talk about the characters of Pokemon. As you can see, the character in the picture is marked with the number “1” (number 2 shows where the Pokemon was caught). Each Pokemon has a character. It depends on him which stats will prevail and which will decrease. And also the character of a Pokemon affects the attitude towards Pokeblocks. In this article I will tell you what types of character there are and how they affect the Pokemon. I divided all the characters into several types, thinking that it would be more convenient. So, let's begin:

Natures性格 nature) are a mechanic that influences how a Pokémon's stats grow. They were introduced in Generation III.
A Pokémon"s Nature is displayed on the Pokémon"s summary screen. From Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver onward, the stats affected by a Pokémon's Nature are highlighted on their summary screens: the increased stat is notated in red text and the decreased stat is notated in blue text.

Mechanics
A Pokémon's Nature usually affects the value of two of its stats, ultimately increasing one of its non-stats (Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense, or Speed) by 10% and decreasing another by 10%. Starting in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver , the stats increased or decreased by a Pokémon"s Nature have (respectively) a red or blue highlight on a Pokémon"s summary screen.
Generation VI
Generation VIII
- Red for Attack
- Yellow for Defense
- Blue for Special Attack
- Green for Special Defense
- Pink for Speed
The first flower the player chooses determines the stat the Nature increases, and the second flower determines the stat it decreases. While the effect does last for the rest of the day, the player can change the nature at any time by paying Madam Celadon again. Due to the lack of breeding and Abilities, this is the only way to influence Natures in these games.

Characters(English Nature, Japanese せいかく) describe the nature of a Pokemon. They were introduced into third generation, and also exist in the fifth and fourth. There are 25 character types in total.
Personality affects the growth of a Pokémon's stats, usually increasing one by 10% and decreasing another by 10%. Personality also affects what foods a Pokémon likes to eat and what it doesn't like. Changing stats and favorite/least favorite flavor are connected (if Attack increases, then favorite flavor is Spicy and vice versa).

Rather than just being a superficial personality , Natures actually affect the growth of a Pokémon. Each nature increases one of its stats by 10% and decreases one by 10% (by the time it reaches level 100). Five natures increase and decrease the same stat and therefore have no effect.
In most cases it is preferable to have a nature that decreases either Attack or Special Attack for Pokémon whose strengths are the opposite type of attack. Espeon, for example, favors Special moves, so it"s best to use a nature that decreases its Attack since it won"t be used.
Berries
A Pokémon's nature also determines the berries it likes and dislikes. Each type of berry is linked to one stat:
- Attack - Spicy
- Defense - Sour
- Speed - Sweet
- Sp. Attack - Dry
- Sp. Defense - Bitter
The berry a Pokémon likes is the corresponding flavor of its raised stat, while the berry it dislikes is the flavor of its lowered stat.
For example, a Pokémon of Sassy nature will like Bitter berries (Special Defense is raised) and dislike Sweet berries (Speed is lowered).
