Quotes

Before battle:
"Hello! Welcome to the Pokémon League! I'm Aaron of the Elite Four. It's good to meet you. oh, I should explain, I'm a huge fan of bug Pokémon. Bug Pokémon are nasty-mean, and yet they're beautiful, too... Would you like to know why I take on challengers here, in this room? It's because I want to become perfect, just like my bug Pokémon! Ok! Let me take you on!"

During battle:
"Not yet! Your first Pokémon League victory doesn't come easily, kid."

When defeated:
"I will now concede defeat. But I think you came to see how great Bug-type Pokémon can be. I hope you also realized why you're up against in the Pokémon League. Battling is a deep and complex affair..."

After battle:
"I lost with the most beautiful and toughest of the bug Pokémon... We lost because I wasn't good enough... That's it! Back to training camp! Let's hear it for me! No... That was wrong... Anyway... Go on to the next room! Three Trainers are waiting for you. They are all tougher than me."

Last words:
"Go on, go to the next room. I'm going to become a top-level Trainer who can't be outclassed with my beautiful and tough bug Pokémon!

Trivia

• Aaron is the only trainer in Pokémon Platinum whose animated sprite enters the screen from the top.
• Aaron's Heracross knows Megahorn at Level 54, a move it normally learns at level 55. The only way for this to happen normally would be for two Heracross that already know the move to be bred, as the offspring would hatch with the move.
• Aaron is the only member of the Sinnoh Elite Four to retain his main Pokémon in Pokémon Platinum.
• Aaron is the only player character thats jumps down from the sky in Pokémon Platinum.
