These are Greta's quotes in the Pokémon games.

In the core series games

Pokémon Emerald

Initial battle

• Before battle

"Hey! Howdy! ...Wait, are you the challenger?"

"Is this right? Hmm... Hmhm..."

"I don't know how to say it, but... To put it bluntly, you look pretty weak. Are you sure you're up for me? Hmm... Well, all right! We'll take things easy to start with! Okay! Let's see you ignite my passion for battle!"

• Being defeated

"No way! Good job!"

• If the player is defeated

"Oh, come on! You have to try harder than that!

• After being defeated

"Ow, wait a second! You are tough after all! I like you! Let's see your Frontier Pass."

"It's going to be fun the next time! I'm looking forward to it!"

Rematch

• Before battle

"Hey! Howdy! You finally won your way up to me! I was getting worried waiting for you! I was really looking forward to seeing you again!"

"... ... ... So, are you ready?"

"I won't allow a halfhearted effort! Be ready for a thrashing! Come on, referee! Let's get this started!"

• Being defeated

"Huh? Are you serious?!"

• If the player is defeated

"Heheh! What did you expect?"

• After being defeated

"Gaaah! Blown away! Let's see your Frontier Pass!"

"Arrrgh! This is so infuriating! If we ever battle again, I won't lose! Don't you forget it! Bye-bye!"

Story Event - Isle Disciples, Arena Tycoon

• Howdy!

"Hey! Howdy!"

"I'm feeling great!"

"I'd really like to battle someone as a warm-up!"

"Hmm... Hearing that from you two, that makes me even more excited!"

"Oh, right! I'm a challenger, huh!"

"OK! All those strong Trainers better be ready for me!"

• Students of the Master Dojo
• Off-screen, as "???"

"Time to battle!"

• After appearing, as Greta

"Hey! I heard this place is where I can battle a bunch of strong people! Is that right?"

"Huh? What did you say?"

"Mind your business! I can do what I want!"

"Shut up! I'll decide if I'll take this on or not!"

"The Master Dojo? What's that?"

"Uh-huh. I see..."

"You two must be pretty strong, then, if you're talking so much. Right?"

"I don't know how else to say it, but... To put it bluntly, you look pretty weak."

"There we go! That's what I'm talking about!"

"We'll take things easy to start with!"

• Teachings of Martial Prowess

"Oh, come on! You have to try harder than that!"

"So, still think I should go home?"

"Oh yeah, I noticed something while I was battling you two."

"There are three key factors to Pokémon battling—mind, skill, and body..."

"I'd say for skill and body, you weren't just talk."

"For mind, though, you still need a lot of work."

"I'll battle you as much as you want until you get it!"

"But I'm gonna win every time!"

"Hmm..."

"Hey, since we're all here, why don't the three of us team up and take on the Battle Villa?"

"I heard three-on-three battles are the standard on Pasio!"

"Also, if we battle as teammates rather than opponents..."

"you might get a sense what I'm talking about!"

"Something about how you said that is kinda off-putting...but I'll let it slide!"

"All right! Let's go!"

"On to the next one!"

"Yay! We're on a winning streak!"

"Let's keep up the momentum and finish this undefeated!"

• The World Is Still Vast

"Looks like this is the last one! C'mon, you two—let's DO this!"

"Yeesh... This isn't looking too good..."

"Hey, you two! Can you help Breloom out?!"

"Arrrgh! That was so frustrating!"

"We're DEFINITELY not losing the next time we take them on!"

"Huh?"

"Hmm... Self-awareness is good and all..."

"But this was a team outcome. No one person is to blame for—"

"Hey, wait up!"

"Did I...hurt his feelings?"

"I see..."

"Hmm... So this means..."

"You're both serious about wanting to get stronger, right?"

"All right! In that case..."

"Since we've come this far already, let me help you two get stronger!"

"For now, let's try our best as a team..."

"and clear the Battle Villa together next time!"

"Great!"

"Now then, let's go look for Avery!"

"Is it just me, Klara, or has your personality changed since we first met?"

• Minds Refined in Secret

"The only way to get stronger is to train! Now, let's get started!"

"Now then, while it is important for you two to get stronger..."

"I think our teamwork is the most important thing to improve."

"Ahhh! Didn't I just tell you two that we need to improve our teamwork?!"

"OK, you two! Let's ignite our passion for battle!"

"Let's finish this!!!"

"Ahh... Now THAT was a satisfying battle!"

"Don't worry about it! It was a good experience for me too!"

"Besides..."

"I think you two have your minds in the right place now, since you feel so strongly about wanting to improve!"

"Hey, you should come visit me at the Battle Arena in Hoenn sometime!"

"I'll take you on there as the Arena Tycoon!"

"Didn't I tell you? I'm one of the Frontier Brains!"

"I mean, I wasn't exactly hiding it..."

"What's up? Do you know them?"

"Is that right? Hmm..."

"You're strong, aren't you?"

"Hey! Since you know each other, why don't you show them how much you've improved?"

Sync Pair Story - A Day with Greta

"Arrrgh! No way! This is so infuriating!"

"I was THIS close to defeating you, <player>!"

Let's call it a tie.: "Graaah! You say that like it doesn't even matter to you!"

Wasn't this supposed to be training?: "Training or not, a battle's a battle!"'"

"It doesn't matter how serious it is—if I can't win, I get FRUSTRATED!"

"But...that did turn out to be pretty good training, so I guess it's fine!"

"Thanks for joining me, <player>!"

"I'm glad I got a chance to try out a bunch of Breloom's moves!"

"Breloom has the power of a fighting Pokémon..."

"but she can also battle strategically like grass Pokémon do, so she's really a favorite of mine!"

That's kind of surprising...: "Hey, what's with that? Did you think I'm the type of person who relies on brute force?"

So it's not just power you care about.: "Of course not! Power isn't the only thing that can tip the scales of battle, you know!"

"If you confine yourself to just one style of fighting, your opponent can easily interrupt your flow!"

"You've gotta have a variety of options so that you can be flexible and react to every situation!"

"Actually, it's probably the Battle Frontier's influence that helped me learn to think that way."

"See, at the Battle Arena where I'm the Arena Tycoon..."

"If the battlers can't defeat each other's Pokémon, they're judged based on three criteria: mind, skill, and body."

• Off-screen

"Mind! How proactively did they choose attack moves?"

"Skill! How accurately did they use their moves against their opponent?"

"Body! Who was the healthiest at judgment time?"

• On-screen

"The answers to those three questions combined determine the winner!"

"So that's why I'm always consciously trying to improve my mind, skill, and body whenever I'm training or battling!"

"You look like you have a lot of potential in those, too, <player>!"

"I think you can improve even further, so if you keep training those qualities, you'll be headed in the right direction!"

"I'm looking forward to battling you again when you've gotten even tougher, <player>!"

"And next time, I won't lose! Don't you forget it!"

Pokémon Center

• During sync background preview

"OK! Let's see you ignite my passion for battle!"

• Random conversation

"The Battle Arena is a test of the challengers' will!"

"Oh, but I mean...you can't get through with just brute force!"

"'Cause it's not just about winning or losing—challengers are judged on how they used their mind, skill, and body in battle!"

• Random conversation

"At the Battle Arena, they call me their leader! Sounds pretty tough, doesn't it?"

"Apparently, it's because I'm the final boss!"

• Random conversation

"I like Fighting-type Pokémon, but I don't specialize in them or anything."

"Still though, the Fighting-type users here on Pasio are letting me join their training sessions!"

"It's the best possible environment for me to train my mind, skill, and body!"

• Random conversation

"You wanna know how to get stronger? Hmm... Let's see..."

"If you want to get the most out of your own abilities, I think it's important to have a good balance of mind, skill, and body."

"So I'd recommend training in a bunch of different ways instead of focusing on just one!"

• Random conversation

"You're actually pretty competitive, aren't you, <player>?"

"Right?! That's what I thought!"

"There aren't too many Trainers with a fighting spirit as intense as mine!"

• Random conversation

"When I first met you, I thought you looked pretty weak."

"But now that I've battled on the same team as you, I know just how strong you are!"

"I acknowledge your skill now, and I'm depending on you too!"

• If spoken to again

"You know, based on my experience with a Trainer I met back in Hoenn..."

"I've got a feeling that you're gonna keep getting stronger, <player>!"

• Random conversation

"Arrrgh! This is so infuriating!"

"...That's how I let out my frustration when I lose a battle that I was trying my hardest to win."

"I never hide those feelings of regret!"

"I think...that's how I show respect to an opponent who defeated me when I wasn't holding back."

• If spoken to again

"It's both Trainers taking the battle seriously that gives it meaning in the first place!"

"And that's why I get SO frustrated when I lose!"

• Special log-in conversation (generic)

"Hey, <player>! Howdy! You're finally here! I was getting worried waiting for you!"

"Come on—let me test out how much tougher you've gotten since the last time we met!"

• Special log-in conversation (morning)

"Good mooorning! Come on, shout it out from your gut! Let's start another day with lots of energy!"

• Special log-in conversation (afternoon)

"Gotta keep training as long as the sun's up! How about you join me?"

• Special log-in conversation (evening)

"Hmm... I got a lot of good exercise today! Better start prepping for some good rest next!"

• Special gift conversation

"Oh, there you are! I've got something I've been wanting to give you!"

• After giving out item

"I gifted you some of my energy, too! Keep on getting stronger, OK?"

• Special Isle Disciples, Arena Tycoon story event conversation with Avery and Klara
