Here is a list of the characters who have appeared in Pocket Monsters Special BW Version.

Name: Black (ブラック)
Pokemon in Hand: Mun'na ("Musha"), Wargle ("War"), Pokabu

Black is a young trainer who dreams of going to the Pokemon League and facing off against the Four Heavenly Emperors. Despite the fact that he already has two pokemon at the start of the series, he camps out at Araragi-Hakase's laboratory overnight to receive a starter pokemon. Black eventually chooses Pokabu as his starter pokemon.

Whenever Black feels lost and needs to calm down, his Mun'na hops onto his head and starts to devour his dreams. His friend Cheren explains that his head is filled with the dream of winning the Pokemon League to the exclusion of everything else. When Mun'na eats Black's dreams, his head becomes empty, clearing his thoughts and allowing him to focus. In Japanese, the phrase "the inside of your head is white" (頭の中が真っ白になる) is used to describe people who don't know what to do.

His mother lives in Kanoko Town. Black is friends with Cheren and Bel. Curiously, a line spoken by Black in the first chapter (９年間、この日をまち続けていたんだ！) suggests that he is nine years old.

He is based on the male protagonist of Black & White.

Black first appears in the opening chapter of Pocket Monsters Special BW Version.

Name: Cheren (チェレン)
