Bianca (Japanese: ベル Bel) is a rival character in Pokémon Black and White.

In the games

Role

Like the player, Bianca lives in the starting town of Nuvema Town, and is also a childhood friend of the player (and soon-to-be-rival). She is described as being 'flighty' by Professor Juniper and Cheren; though she also has a strong side, as shown when she embarks on a Pokémon journey despite her father's strong opposition. This is emphasized in Nimbasa City, where her father disallows her to become a Pokémon Trainer. With the help of Nimbasa City Gym Leader Elesa, Bianca convinces her father to let her follow her dream.

In keeping with the theme of truth and ideals often seen in Black and White, Bianca represents those who pursue truth—this is highlighted when N comments, "Poor Bianca has faced the sad truth that not everyone can become stronger". She often admits that she is not a strong Trainer compared to the player and Cheren; and thinks about what she can do in life (whereas Cheren is seen to ponder about what he should do). Later in the game, she decides to research and learn more about Pokémon with Juniper.

Bianca as seen in Black 2 and White 2's trailer

Like the player and Cheren, Bianca receives a starter Pokémon as a gift from Professor Juniper at the start of the game; she chooses the Pokémon with a type disadvantage to the player's starter Pokémon. The player encounters Bianca on several occasions, where she often challenges the player to a battle. After the player has defeated Alder, she will be around to battle them on weekends in Nuvema Town.

In Black 2 and White 2, Bianca appears as Professor Juniper's assistant, giving the player and his or her rival their starter Pokémon. She, after not seeing him for two years, will also be reunited with Cheren in Aspertia City
