Quotes

Coumarine Gym

• Before battle

"Ho! So yeh've made it clear up here! I'm the Gym Leader. Ramos's the name. So what'd yeh think, whippersnapper? Did yeh enjoy the garden playground I made with all these sturdy plants o' mine? Their strength is a sign o' my strength as a gardener and a Gym Leader! Yeh sure yer up to facing all that?"

• Being defeated

"Yeh can't take things too quickly when it comes to forming a friendship with your Pokémon, sprout!"

• After being defeated

"Yeh believe in yer Pokémon... And they believe in yeh, too... Mighty oaks from acorns grow. Go on, then. Yeh've earned it. Here's yer own Plant Badge, sprout."

"If yeh've got yerself a Plant Badge, then yeh can use the HM Fly even when not battling. It's a real boon. Pokémon up to Lv. 60 will listen to yeh, too, easy as falling off a log. Even if yeh got 'em from a trade. Here--have this, too. Might as well make hay while the sun shines, I reckon."

"That TM there is for Grass Knot. Yeh can use it to trip yer opponents up in the grass. The heavier the opponent, the harder it'll fall--and the more it'll hurt."

"Ain't it a marvel? Frail little blades o' grass can break through concrete, even. I can't help admirin' that strength."

(post-game) "When yeh know for certain sure yeh ain't never gonna meet again... Well, yeh can give in and accept it. But if yeh think there might be a chance, and yeh wander the world for 3,000 years tortured by that flicker of hope... I tell yeh, sprout, I couldn't have stood it."

Battle Chateau

• Before battle

"So yer back for more, whippersnapper! I know I'll enjoy another Pokémon battle with yeh, sprout, sure as trees grow up!"

• Being defeated

"A true friendship with Pokémon takes time. Yeh can't force it, yeh little whippersnapper!"

• After being defeated

(if he gives the player an item) "Go on, then. Take it. Yeh've earned it."

"Yeh believe in yer Pokémon... And they believe in yeh, too... It was a fine battle, sprout."

• After defeating the player

"Hohoho... Indeed. Frail little blades o' grass'll break through even concrete."

Gym Freaks

April: "Hello! It's time for Gym Freaks, your source for the hottest news about hot Gym Leaders in Kalos. So... I'm now in front of the Coumarine City Gym! ... Oooh. Ahhh. Ramos has arrived! He's calm. So soothing. His smile brings a sense of euphoria. He's taken very good care of these gigantic scissors and used them for 30 years. I've used this body for 30 years, and it's started showing its age... Oh... he went inside the Gym... That's all for the on-site report. Good-bye for now, everyone."

Trivia

• Ramos's Japanese Leader title is いまなお　花を咲かす　老樹.
