Roxie/Quotes

These are Roxie's quotes in the Pokémon games.

In the core series

Pokémon Black 2 and White 2

Virbank City

• Upon arriving in the city

"Get real! You're a captain already, aren't you? If that ship doesn't move, you're going to cause lots of trouble!"

"AAAAAAH! You dim-witted...dense...dumb...daft...dippy...dorky...doltish DOOFUS! Doing double duty isn't the problem! You're causing problems for people! Keeping people from getting where they're going because of sheer selfishness is unforgivable! I've HAD it! I'm going to the Gym!"

Virbank Gym

• Before battle

"Get ready! I'm gonna knock some sense outta ya!"

• During battle (the first non-KO HP loss)

"I can feel your desire to win pouring out of you!"

• After sending out last Pokémon

"It's not over yet! Time to turn this show around for a victory!"

• Being defeated

"Wait! I was right in the middle of the chorus!"

• After being defeated

"Sigh! What are you doing losing, Roxie?! Well…I guess that means you're strong! This stinks, but I gave it everything I had, and I feel revitalized and refreshed now! Here! Proof that you beat me!"

"Two Badges! Now Pokémon up to Lv. 30, even Pokémon you got in trades, will realize how good you are and won't ignore your commands! Also, here! Use this TM!"

"TM09 is Venoshock! It covers the target in a special poisonous liquid! Even better, if your target's already poisoned, it does double damage! Heh heh! It almost packs too much of a punch!"

"Your Pokémon WANTED this win! Keep on going on like this, and do all sorts of stuff!"

• After the player is invited to Pokéstar Studios

"You're going to Pokéstar Studios?! OH! I forgot! The old man! I have to get him back to work as captain!"

• If talked to again later

"Using the Pokémon I like and getting through to people with the music I like is who I am! If you can do what you enjoy in the way you want, then great! Just be sure not to cause anyone any trouble!"

Virbank City

• Upon encountering Team Plasma

"So, are you guys Team Plasma, then?"

• After defeating the Team Plasma Grunt

"Split up! You, go check Route 20!"

"If I'd lost, my precious Pokémon would've been taken! Thanks, you two! Use this!

• After defeating the Grunt on Route 20

"I thought your movie was pretty good."

"C'mon! Don't get down! You can keep trying while you continue on as captain! As long as you don't cause anyone trouble, I won't get mad. I don't know how the Pokéstar Studios people feel about that, though!"

"Oh... Did you hear us? Well, it looks like everyone from Team Plasma got away... I don't feel really good about it, but at least they're gone. Oh! There was a lot of ruckus, but you can sail to Castelia City now!"

Pokémon World Tournament

• When first met

"Hey! You two! Haven't you got any wild and crazy Pokémon battles to show me?! Guess I'll have to enter the tournament myself and rock the audience right outta their seats!"

• Before battle (first round)

"Get ready! I'm gonna knock some sense outta ya!"

• Before battle (second round)

"Fight with this Pokémon that way... Use this item that way... Are you letting others decide that for you? Well, whatever, but what's important is figuring out what you want to do! Get ready! 'Cause I'm going to knock the common sense outta you and drag you into a brand new world!"

• Before battle (last round)

"You don't do anything! What do you know?! You don't do anything! How're you gonna change?! But, I've got you covered! I'm gonna give your reason a toxic shock and open up your mind!"

• Being defeated

"Wild! Your reason's already more toxic than mine!"

• If the player is defeated

"Hey, c'mon! Get serious! You gotta put more out there!"

• After being defeated

"You didn't win... I lost! I was weak and made my Pokémon feel how much losing stinks! Watch out! Next time we meet, I'm going to give you a toxic shock!"

• After winning

"Ya can't win 'em all. It's impossible, seriously! Trying to look cool every time you mess up or fail is totally exhausting! So you just have to let it all hang out!"

• In the lobby, after the tournament

"Congrats on taking first! Losing stinks, but still... You're a fun Pokémon Trainer to battle! I mean, c'mon! The Pokémon battling with you are all like, "We're gonna win!""

Story Event - The Importance of Elegance

• The Beat! The Passion!

"Hey! Just wanted to say your battle just now was suuuper rad!"

"What's all this about elegance and focus, though? Did I miss something, or..."

"Ahh, I think I get it now..."

"You want my honest opinion? After watchin' you guys battle..."

"I don't think elegance OR focus are what's really most important when it comes to Pokémon battling."

"Well, in MY opinion, it's gotta be the beat! The passion!"

"You start riffin', you build up a killer rhythm, and then BAM! You smash your opponents in the face with it!"

"I guess it's kinda hard to put it into words... Let's just skip 'em! C'mon! I'll make you guys FEEL what I mean instead!"

"I'll show you a Pokémon battle so wild it'll blow your mind!"

• Strength and Kindness

"Gahh! What's goin' on, Roxie?! You weren't supposed to lose!"

"*sigh* Guess I blew my chance at showin' you guys what I was talkin' about."

"Really? But what about the beat? Did you feel the BEAT?!"

"I guess you've got a point. When I'm playin' music, sometimes it's less about the beat and more about just chillin' and enjoyin' myself."

Story Event - Summer Superstars

• Festival Fans and Superstars

"♪ P-O-K-E-M-O-N! Pokémon! ♪"

"As if we'd lose a music competition! First place is as good as ours!"

"<Player>! Even if we're up against you and a Champion, we won't lose!"

Regardless of choice: "I guess you could say that. I figure making a name for myself here might encourage my old man while he's chasing his dream back in Unova."

"Uh, I mean, not that I care about him that much or anything! Let's get this party started already!"

• Jigglypunk!

"Well done, Ryuki! I'm wide awake now!"

• Endless Summer!

"This is the homestretch! We'll take on your determination with our poisonous performance!"

"Yeah, I don't mind. He'd be taking a load off our hands. Literally..."

Pokémon Center

• Random conversation

"You know, my old man has two jobs, too, just like me."

"He's a ship's captain and an actor!"

"Although I gotta say, he gets a bit caught up in acting sometimes and lets his ship just sit in harbor."

"It's not good to cause problems for people, right?"

• If spoken to again

"See, I want to support my old man's dream of becoming an actor."

"I mean, I went and saw the movie he was in, and it was pretty good."

• Random conversation

"Sometimes, when I'm out exploring, inspiration just hits me out of nowhere!"

"It's a great help to my song writing."

"Especially when I'm with you!"

• If spoken to again

"Sometimes, working two jobs can show you new things."

"But you can't slack off on either of them!"

• Random conversation

"Hey, about you and your Pokémon!"

"You're getting really strong, aren't you!"

"Not just pure strength. Your will to win is getting stronger, too!"

"Watching you gets me pumped, too!"

• If spoken to again

"I'll never use my double duty with my band as an excuse for anything!"

"I don't plan on letting you win our Pokémon battles, either, so there!"

• Random conversation

"The song I'm working on--it's going to be great!"

"See, I'm making my adventures here into a song!"

"Oh, of course you're gonna be in the song, too!"

"There's no way any of my adventures here on Pasio would happen without you!"

• If spoken to again

"I still want more ideas for new songs, though."

"So that means you're gonna keep exploring with me, all right?!"

• Special log-in conversation (generic)

"<Player>! I've been waiting for you!"

"If you have some time, have a battle with me! I'm just bursting with energy!"

• Special gift conversation

"Here! You can use this!"

"Oh, no no, I don't want anything back! I just felt like giving something to you!"

"Make sure to use that item I gave you, OK?"

"A really good Trainer puts items to good use!"

• Special Unova Rally event conversation with Cheren and Marlon

"Aw, Marlon, let's take a break! We just got done battling!"

"A professional man of the sea? You mean like a sea captain or a fisher, right?"

"Huh? No, my pop is--"

"I'll admit my pops is dorky, but even he's not this bad!"

• Special The Isle of Armor promotional conversation with Janine

"So, ya know how we're both Poison-type Gym Leaders?"

"Well, I heard there's this really strong Poison-type Trainer at a dojo on the Isle of Armor in Galar. Ever heard of it? And get this--she's a girl, too!"

"Yeah! Then we can battle her and see how good she really is!"

"Music to my ears! I'll roll up to that Trainer with an official letter of challenge, then rock her with my poison and really knock some sense outta her!"
