'''Curtis''' (Japanese: '''テツ''' ''Tetsu''), otherwise known under the screen name '''Christoph''' (Japanese: '''テンマ''' ''Tenma''), is a character that appears in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]] if the {{player}}'s gender is female. He is the male counterpart to [[Yancy]].
'''Curtis''' (Japanese: '''テツ''' ''Tetsu''), otherwise known under the screen name '''Christoph''' (Japanese: '''テンマ''' ''Tenma''), is a character that appears in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]] if the {{player}}'s gender is female. He is the male counterpart to [[Yancy]].


==In the games==
==In the core series games==
Curtis is first encountered after the female player picks up the {{key|V|Dropped Item}} ([[Xtransceiver]]) in [[Nimbasa City]]. Upon obtaining the item, Curtis calls it and identifies himself as the owner of the lost Xtransceiver. However he is busy at work and is unable to retrieve it at the time, so he asks the female player to hold onto it until he is free from work.

Upon obtaining the item, Curtis calls it and identifies himself as the owner of the lost Xtransceiver. However he is busy at work and is unable to retrieve it at the time, so he asks the female player to hold onto it until he is free from work.


He will call his Xtransceiver when the female player is in specific locations around [[Unova]]. After exchanging several phone calls, Curtis would note that his work involves traveling to [[Kanto]], [[Hoenn]], and [[Sinnoh]] from time to time. The player's relation with Curtis increases as calls are made or received.

After exchanging several phone calls, Curtis would note that his work involves traveling to [[Kanto]], [[Hoenn]], and [[Sinnoh]] from time to time. The player's relation with Curtis increases as calls are made or received.


At the tenth call, Curtis would inform the player that he is finally free from work and would like to retrieve his [[Xtransceiver]] back in [[Nimbasa City]]. The game will randomly select one of the fifteen areas where he could call the player before returning the Xtransceiver, and the player will be able to call him from there. This will happen every time Curtis is called from then on. After the thirtieth call, the player may join Curtis in a ride at the Rondez-View Ferris Wheel<!--, where Curtis's cheek will grow red-->. After the fiftieth call (which will be marked by his coworker answering and then hanging up), the player can - starting the next day - review Curtis's occupation and trade Pokémon with him. Pokémon traded from him have {{DL|Ability|Hidden Abilities}}, are at [[level]] 50, and have no predetermined [[nature]], [[gender]], or [[individual values]]. It is possible to receive multiples of the same species.
At the tenth call, Curtis would inform the player that he is finally free from work and would like to retrieve his [[Xtransceiver]] back in [[Nimbasa City]]. After returning his Xtransceiver, the game will randomly select one of the 15 areas where Curtis called the player initially, and the female player can call Curtis from anywhere in that area. This will happen every time Curtis is called from then on. After the thirtieth call, the player may join Curtis in a ride at the Rondez-View Ferris Wheel<!--, where Curtis's cheek will grow red-->. After the first call of every next day, Curtis will ask the player for a Ferris Wheel ride, and if the player has entered the [[Hall of Fame]], he will offer to trade a Pokémon after the ride. Pokémon traded from him have [[Hidden Ability|Hidden Abilities]], are at [[level]] 50, and have no predetermined [[nature]], [[gender]], or [[individual values]]. It is possible to receive multiples of the same species.


Curtis, as Christoph, appears in various television shows as a celebrity idol.
From the 31st through 49th calls (except the Ferris-Wheel-ride calls), Curtis will say any of a variety of things. On the 50th call, his co-worker will accidentally pick up the phone, revealing Curtis in his working outfit.

:''"Hello? Oh! Yes. That's right! I dropped my Xtransceiver. I'm talking on an old Xtransceiver right now, so there's no video. Sorry."''
: ''"Thank you for finding it. Truth is, I want to come pick it up right away, but… Right now, I'm very busy with work, and I don't have time to pick it up. If you don't mind, could you hang on to it for a little bit?"''
: ''"My name's Chr… Ah, I mean… Curtis! Who are you?"''
: ''"<Player>, huh? OK. When work calms down, I'll come pick it up, so please hang on to it! Also… I'm sure you'll want to keep in touch until I can pick up my Xtransceiver. So, I'll call your Xtransceiver regularly. Bye, then. Thanks again."''
 
'''First call'''
:''"Hello? Is this <player>?"''
: ''"…"''
: ''"It's me! Yeah! You picked up my Xtransceiver! Hey, it's a little annoying that we can't see each other's faces, isn't it? We won't recognize each other even if we pass on the street. Oops! My colleague is calling me. I have to get back to work! Good-bye."''

But I really enjoyed talking with you, so maybe I was a little lucky! Ah ha ha... Um... If you don't mind, can I still call you sometime?"''
: ''"..."''
: ''"Phew. I was really scared you might say no! <registers on Xtransceiver> Can I ask you one more thing? I called you on the Xtransceiver too often, and Ma... I mean one of my coworkers... got really mad at me... So, <player>, could you call me?"'"
: ''"..."''
: ''"What? Really? Thanks... <player>, you're really nice. I'm usually at work, and sometimes I have trouble picking up a signal... But I'd like it if you check your Xtransceiver often, and give me a call... Ah ha ha! Well, I'll be heading home! Good-bye, <player>!"''

:''"Ah, <player>! Yeah, I can talk right now. You know..."''
 
'''Eleventh call'''
:''"Thank you so much the other day! I was surprised you were my age! I was guessing you would be older than me by your voice. It made me a little nervous on the Xtransceiver, you know? I'm relieved that I can relax from now on when we talk. I should get back to work now. Talk to you later, <player>. Bye!"''
 
'''Twelfth call'''
:''"My hobby is fishing. I'd cast the line wherever I have a good hunch. Different places have different Pokémon, so every fishing experience is a surprise. I should get back to work now. Talk to you later, <player>. Bye!"''

Curtis (Japanese: テツ Tetsu), otherwise known under the screen name Christoph (Japanese: テンマ Tenma), is a character that appears in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 if the player's gender is female. He is the male counterpart to Yancy.

In the core series games

Curtis is first encountered after the female player picks up the Dropped Item (Xtransceiver) in Nimbasa City. Upon obtaining the item, Curtis calls it and identifies himself as the owner of the lost Xtransceiver. However he is busy at work and is unable to retrieve it at the time, so he asks the female player to hold onto it until he is free from work.

He will call his Xtransceiver when the female player is in specific locations around Unova. After exchanging several phone calls, Curtis would note that his work involves traveling to Kanto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh from time to time. The player's relation with Curtis increases as calls are made or received.

At the tenth call, Curtis would inform the player that he is finally free from work and would like to retrieve his Xtransceiver back in Nimbasa City. After returning his Xtransceiver, the game will randomly select one of the 15 areas where Curtis called the player initially, and the female player can call Curtis from anywhere in that area. This will happen every time Curtis is called from then on. After the thirtieth call, the player may join Curtis in a ride at the Rondez-View Ferris Wheel. After the first call of every next day, Curtis will ask the player for a Ferris Wheel ride, and if the player has entered the Hall of Fame, he will offer to trade a Pokémon after the ride. Pokémon traded from him have Hidden Abilities, are at level 50, and have no predetermined nature, gender, or individual values. It is possible to receive multiples of the same species.

From the 31st through 49th calls (except the Ferris-Wheel-ride calls), Curtis will say any of a variety of things. On the 50th call, his co-worker will accidentally pick up the phone, revealing Curtis in his working outfit.

Curtis, as Christoph, appears in various television shows as a celebrity idol, regardless of the player's gender.

Contact areas

Curtis will automatically call the player on any one of fifteen specific spots. They can only be triggered once.

Traded to the player

Curtis will trade the female player a different Pokémon each day in this order, if the previous one has already been traded. Fused Kyurem and Eggs cannot be traded to Curtis.
