As a Dark-type, Serkis is also slightly mischievous in nature, and sometimes will use underhanded tactics such as stealing items in order to assert his dominance over evil team members and leaders- but only when he deems it absolutely necessary. Naturally, given his namesake, he has a fascination with riddles.

Personality

Prior to his capture by Braker, Serkis had a bit of a reputation around Lumiose City. He was often referred to by the locals as the "rogue" or "mysterious" Greninja, and was often known for stealing away locals or Galarians in the middle of the night when nobody was looking. As it turns out, however, Serkis' motivations for doing this are entirely heroic. Serkis is, in every way, a mysterious yet noble hero, taking citizens of Galar or Kalos away in the night and hiding them in places where they can seek refuge from evil teams such as Team Flare. Serkis despises anybody who is affiliated with evil teams such as Rocket, Flare, the Aether Foundation, or the Pokemon Hunters, and longs more than anything to bring these kind of teams to justice. Unfortunately, however, he can get a bit carried away in his pursuit for justice- when he first met Braker, Walter, and Cuddles, he initially mistook them for members of Team Flare and thought they were in the museum to harm the 200 Galarians he had hidden away. He is also immensely determined to gain as much power as he can over anyone he perceives as an enemy. However, Serkis is very honorable, and will apologize for any mistakes or lapses in judgement, as he did upon realizing that Braker, Walter, and Cuddles were not, in fact, members of Team Flare. Additionally, Serkis is extremely fast, being able to transport from region to region in the blink of an eye with barely anyone noticing. Despite his noble, serious, and hardened exterior, however, Serkis is internally a massive nerd- particularly for the Lord of the Rings franchise, which garnered him both his Hasslemon typing quirk and his name. He is either flattered or embarrassed whenever anyone points out that he (as a Greninja) sounds almost identical to Gollum, and he naturally refers to anything having to do with the franchise- indeed, to the franchise itself- as his "precious", complete with Gollum-esque cackle.

Trivia

  • Serkis was named after Andy Serkis, a motion capture artist and director who most famously was the voice of Smeagol/Gollum in the Lord of the Rings movies. This was in part due to his love of the franchise but also due to Goldenheart388's (and other Pokemon fans') observation that Billy Bob Thompson's voice for Greninja in the English dub sounded similar to that of Serkis' performance as Smeagol/Gollum. Serkis' name was originally intended to be Gollum and he was going to have a much more mischievous and Robin Hood-esque nature, however the name was changed to Serkis when Goldenheart388 decided to make him more akin to the Scarlet Pimpernel instead.
  • According to Goldenheart388, Serkis' Hasslemon handle is motionCaptured (MC). This has multiple meanings-- its first, and most obvious meaning, is that it serves as a pun on "motion capture", the brand of filmmaking that Andy Serkis specializes in. However, the handle also employs the word "captured", which suggests the act of capturing something on camera (i.e. Serkis himself) and also the act of capturing criminals, which is what Serkis specializes in. The "motion" part, meanwhile, could also serve as a reference to Serkis' blinding speed.
  • According to Goldenheart388, Serkis' regular character theme is "Renegade" by Styx, his Broadway character theme is "The Scarlet Pimpernel" from the musical of the same name, and his headcanon voice is that of Andy Serkis as Gollum from the Lord of the Rings franchise.
