Primo (Japanese: ハジメ Hajime) is a non-player character that appears in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver.
In Generation III, his real name is not mentioned, and Primo is known simply as the Poké Dude (Japanese: テレビのおにいさん TV Dude). His name is revealed when he appears in Generation IV. Primo is the grandson of the old man in Viridian City who teaches the player how to catch Pokémon in Generation I and gives the Teachy TV in FireRed and LeafGreen.
Outside of the games, Primo is the face of Pokémon Daisuki Club website's subsection on HeartGold and SoulSilver.
In the core series games
Generation III
Primo appears in FireRed and LeafGreen as the host of the Poké Dude Show (renamed The Show Me Show in HeartGold and SoulSilver, even though the show itself is absent from these games). This television show broadcast on the Teachy TV and is aimed at Trainers who have just begun their Pokémon journeys. Primo instructs the player on six key gameplay elements:
- How to battle
- What a status condition is
- What type matchups are
- How to catch Pokémon
- What TMs are
- How to register an item
The Poké Dude Show is filmed on Route 1.
Generation IV
At some point between Generations III and IV, Primo moved from Kanto to Johto. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, he is first found in Violet City's Pokémon Center. If the player tells Primo a secret combination of words (using the easy chat system), they will be given a new PC Box wallpaper or a Pokémon Egg. There are eight wallpapers available, and three eggs: a Mareep, a Wooper and a Slugma. All of the phrases required to receive these gifts are dependent on the player's Trainer ID number, and can be retrieved from the Pokémon Daisuki Club website, or pokewiki.de's secret phrase generator.
Primo will sometimes compete in the Power course of the Pokéathlon.
