Besides Cain, which other characters from in-game Reborn were downplayed from their real life counterparts? — Anonymous
Sigmund. Hard to do this in a game and much less with a silent protagonist but he would psychoanalyze his challengers in the middle of a match to get under their skin.
Shade. A little bit. He mostly did not speak, or spoke in riddles very rarely, but there’s some other things he did that don’t translate to a game, such as just coming onto the server at random times, leaving a smiley face and then disappearing, or randomly naming one of his Pokemon after a challenger, or coming on, saying someone’s name repeatedly and then never saying why (and yet, bad things seemed to happen to that person whenever he did that anyway…) Basically he was a lot more of a troll online than in the game.
Shelly in the sense that, if it were possible (and it is not) she would 100% have a pokemon named after the player. She names them after the other leaders she met instead but online most of her Pokemon eventually became named after various challengers who befriended her.
that’s all that’s coming to mind right now, may not be exhaustive.
