The Hero (Trope)

(This trope comes from TV Tropes. However, the writing in this page is original.)
This is a trope of legend, and virtually everyone already has a strong grasp on who the hero is.
The Hero, plain and simple, is the good guy. He/she is almost always the protagonist (save cases where the protagonist is actually a villain), and goes out of their way to help people in need. They may be part of a group out of necessity, friendship, or even a combination of both. Usually (but not always), The Hero will be the de facto (or in some cases, official) leader of the team, and leads their friends into combat.
The main female (or if the hero is a female, male) lead will normally have romantic feelings for them (or vice versa), which are reciprocated in time.
The Hero will usually go up against a Big Bad (or several), and although he might initially have a tough time, he will almost always prevail in the end.
Examples:
- Gold from Pokemon Gold's Adventures: Destiny of a Hero is perhaps the straightest example of a hero in a Pokemon hack. The title even has "Destiny of a HERO".
- Toran,
- Sanna from Pokemon .E.D. fits this well. Although he doesn't fight physically, his Sync abilities allow him to "sync" with his Pokemon, give them a boost in power, and be a powerful opponent overall.
- Sakura from Pokemon Intertwined Destinies is this, albeit relatively inexperienced with her aura and Pikachu abilities. (She was not the leader of the team, however, as that goes mostly to Gold
- Tyson from Pokemon TGA.
- Jamal from Jamal's Pokemon Adventures. Although the group was led officially by Aidan for the majority of Season 1, Jamal is primarily considered the de facto leader of the team before and afterwards.
- Dakota from Dakota's Weird Pokemon Adventures qualifies as this.
- Pat from Pokemon Hack (the literal name of the series) borders between being this and being an Anti-Hero. At worst, though, he's a Type I Anti-Hero. Overall, he's more lazy than aloof, and he generally does not like seeing innocents get hurt, nor does he like to kill anyone, going as far as to
