Pearl ("PP", "Pearl Porter", "Pearl Gates"):
Pearl, almost named PP in-game (which was considered to be his initials), is Napoleon's hyperactive, slightly annoying, best bud who shares his gambling vice. He convinced Napoleon to start his journey earlier than planned to pay help pay off his gambling debts. He's also the least muscular person in all of Sinnoh (Napoleon sometimes seems weak, but that's just compared to the native Sinnohans). He's also implied to be a wanted criminal sometimes. He got pliplup and named it "Napkins" as it reminded him of Napoleon.
Dawn:
"Cold is for pussies."
Before the game, for the first time ever, there was a large debate over whether to try being the girl or the boy. The proponents of the boy pointed at Dawn's short skirt and exposed legs and Sinnoh's snowy weather and said that they wanted someone who didn't dress like an idiot. The counter was that Dawn was a total badass who wrestled Ursa and didn't care about stupid things like "cold". This quickly became popular and now Dawn is always seen as an extremely badass and competent wrestler who is probably more powerful than her pokemon. As she was not picked, she is Professor Rowan's assistant and is seen as competent, though willing to use her power to tease. She considers Napoleon and Pearl idiots, especially as Napoleon attacked her pokemon when they were supposed to be teaming up against Galactic, but she is often treated as a potential love interest for Napoleon. She also taught him how to catch pokemon after he had caught some already.

Incidently, AgainTheaga says that anticipates a lot of progress this week and that the alpha will be ready soon.
Cyrus:
While similar to his canon version, Cyrus is aware of the Voices and has managed to influence, weaken, disrupt or even outright silence them on various occasions (interpretations of various glitches). He is sometimes portrayed as being able to see through to our world. He is also associated with Miley Cyrus and subject to mockery on how unoriginal his plan to alter reality seems after Bill. His team was the hardest to beat in the game and being beaten by him sent us back before the worst ledge in the game, froze the game and forced a reload of a much earlier save. This was seen as evidence of his power. His generals were often associated with the four horsemen of the apocalypse and they were particularly tough to deal with.
The Court of The Sun:
Napoleon's team quickly gained a theme of the Sun and light and was associated with royalty and their favoured servants. The Sun theme largely came from the sudden use of symbols, especially the Sun, in names, with Sunbrella leading the trend. Some interpret this as being due to Napoleon being less than completely fluent with Kanji, and thus resorting to symbols in writing. It also explains his bad grammar with letters. Speaking of which, this was the first time that the team was armed with mail (letters), which is effectively armour in TPP as it prevents release. This was also the game which had an app with the ability to detect which of your pokemon were attracted to each other. The shippers went nuts.
!☂!!☀! !:1 the Roserade ("Queen Sunbrella")
"You are strong. You will lead my army." - Napoleon.
Sunbrella was the first pokemon that Napoleon caught to end up on his final team. He caught her as a budew and she quickly proved herself in battle, earning a lot of praise and she was eventually selected to be our queen. Sunbrella is also one of the pokemon most associated with Napoleon's change in attitude regarding pokemon. This is particularly heartwarming due to her lonely nature. Sunbrella was the second TPP pokemon to enter a contest (M4 was the first. They both entered cool contests and they both lost, which causes us to complain about stupid biased judges who can't see how cool M4 and Sunbrella are). She is thought of as being motherly and caring and generally a nice leader to the rest of her team, especially Sunshine and friendly and devoted to Napoleon. This was the first run were the trolls were powerful enough to make evolution almost impossible and this quickly became obvious with Sunbrella. Then, in a miracle, the trolls tried to waste time in Napoleon's bag, accidentally giving Sunbrella a rare candy and letting her evolve from a budew to a roselia, marking the first evolution of the run. While using the daycare, Sunbrella had an egg with a recently caught roselia. The fans were surprised but pleased that Sunbrella had gained a love interest that they quickly dubbed "roselio" and began imagining tales of how he had swept his queen off her feet and such. Unfortunately, disaster struck. First, Napoleon rejected the egg. Then, the tie paradox happened, erasing the data to before Roselio was caught. This is generally treated as a tragedy and many were upset that Sunbrella's consort and heir were taken away from her with many deciding that she continues to search for them. Under some interpretations, the egg was saved by Celebi and taken into the past where it grew up to be the wild roselia that swept Camila's entire team once. In the end, Sunbrella helped defeat the Elite Four and she now rules Sinnoh along with Napoleon, though she longs to be reunited with Roselio.

Bronzong ("Steve", "Bronzonger", "Liberty Bell", "Captain America", "Captain Unova", "The Shadowslayer"):
Steve earned his first nickname when people were discussing what to call him, someone replied "His name's Steve" (or something like that) and it stuck. With the fact that he and Sunshine were the first to catch Pokerus, he was treated as having been treated with Super Serum to become a Super Soldier and combining that with the name Steve and his shape as a bronzor, he became to be seen as Captain America (or at least his shield/or an expy of him). He is typically portrayed as best friends with Moonbat and the two tend to be shown on the sidelines, occasionally snarking. He tends to be seen as the royal guard of the group and, as his name suggests, Unovan. He is also praised for taking out Giratina ho really scared us due to how close we came to losing and the direness of the consequences of doing so (refacing the ledge and the whole distortion (dongstortion) zone. That gave him the ttle of "Shadowslayer" and got him seen as a killer of spooky and creepy things, like ghosts. He is also associated with celebration and the chat emoticons (raise your bronzongers).

I discovered another pretty good summary made just before the Demo: www.reddit.com/r/twitchplayspokemon/comments/2k95e0/donger_university_quick_education/Golbat ("Moonbat", "The Count", "Dracula"): Moonbat is usually portrayed as Steve's best friend. He is also often portrayed as Happybat's brother. Moonbat evolved from zubat, but failed to evolve into a crobat despite repeatedly attempting do so throughout the run. He is often drawn with coffee as he's nocturnal and needs caffeine to spend time with his friends.

Flareon ("Sola(i)reon", "Sun Prophet/God/King", "Curse Breaker", "Ashbringer", "True Prophet", "Flame Jesus"):
Solareon was given to us as an eevee by Bebe. We ended up with both a fire and a water stone and decided to use random anarchy to decide which to use on him. He chose the Fire stone to bring back honour to the flareons. While people were initially suspicious of him, he was quickly seen as the redeemer of flareons, and people would say "Break the curse!" in support of him. Solareon is basically the knight of the group and he eventually became the most powerful mon on the team. His high level and the extensive lore about him mean that some consider him rather than Sunbrella to be Napoleon's signature mon. Flareon was typically portrayed as a bit cynical and non-conformist, trying to be contrary to prove a point. He didn't do things the easy way, but rather the way he wanted them done. That said, he did care for his team. The poketch said that he and Sunshine Sparkles were attracted to each other and people jumped on the ship with enthusiasm, making it a huge One True Pairing with lots of cute interactions between them. The poketch also showed mutual attraction between him and Agent 006, but people mostly ignored that. Then, he was left with 006 in the daycare and they had an egg together in what is known as the Daycare Scandal. People were angry with him for cheating on Sunshine (and angry with 006 as well), though some, such as myself, claim that he was not with Sunshine yet at the time, which makes sense as Sunshine was typically portrayed as shy and unwilling to confess her feelings. That said, she was portrayed as really angry after the daycare scandal. That said, it's normally accepted that everyone made up and Solareon and Sunshine got together afterwards. After this, it became common to portray Solareon as extremely handsome and slightly dense about the effect he has on females (like a harem protagonist!). He was even entered into a beauty contest! (Which he lost. This results in a lot of complaints about the stupid, biased judges who are sometimes shown having a comeuppance afterwards or later admitting that they were wrong and that Solareon is the most beautiful creature they've ever seen).

0"☀ ☀0☀☺ ☹ the Shinx ("Sparkles", "Zero", "Sunshine", "Ace Card", Michael Shinxson/Catson,):
Sunshine Sparkles was the shinx we caught who never managed to evolve, to our frustration. Sunshine was typically portrayed as cute and looked after by the other characters and she was shipped with Solareon. She even forgot all her damaging moes at one point and had to spend time in the daycare to learn new ones. She is also sometimes seen as a bit tsunderey and a bit of a mood swinger as her ability is rivalry and she knew leer and scary face.
00 00 06 the Bibarel (Agent 006):
Agent 006 was caught to replace Nappaw as we needed an HM slave. She's typically portrayed as a female JamesBond expy. ie. A spy working for the Queen, dressing in suits and is a seducer. Learning Superpower upgraded her to a Superhero with super strength. She actually became the second most powerful mon on the team. She does get ire for her involvement in the daycare scandal, but she's normally portrayed as forgiven. SOme even portray her as trying to help, by acting as a surrogate mother or trying to teach Solareon how to woo Sunshine.

Well, they are currently looking for playtesters for the alpha version.
KK♀ROOOY the Togepi "Blood Egg" "K.K. Roy", "Princess Omelette":
K. K. Roy was a gift from Cynthia who wouldn't allow us to advance until we had deposited someone in the PC and accepted her gift. She was an egg at the time and it was generally assumed that Cynthia was testing us through this gift. Partially due to the reputation of Prince Omelette and the fact that she suspected that Napoleon was the new host of the Voices, which she had extensively studied. Napoleon passed the test when he deposited Bigdoof in the PC without releasing him, accepted K. K. Roy and looked after her. It was decided that while we liked K. K. Roy, it would be better if someone else took up her spot on the team. This is because the trolls made us doubt that we could evolve her into a togetic, and even if we managed, there was only one shiny stone available before the Elite Four, which we wanted to give to Sunbrella to make her a roserade, rather than K. K. Roy, to make her a togekiss. Amusingly, she nearly evolved, but had her evolution accidentally cancelled by Zeek, one of the chat leaders (people who helped coordinate everyone's efforts). This initially annoyed people, but it was eventually decided that it was for the best and she was put in the daycare. People didn't want to forget about her, so people made lots of art of her going through the daycare and then later graduating to PC Primary School (when she was eventually deposited).

____☺ .~ ♥ the Bidoof "Bigdoof":
Bigdoof was so named because he was one of two bidoof we had in the party and he was the higher level one and the one people initially paid more attention to. After being deposited, he was regarded as a hero who sacrificed himself to allow us to advance.
☺;;; ♥' the Zubat ("Happybat")
Happybat was so named because of the symbols in his name. He was portrayed as extremely cheerful and pleasant and was very popular for a mon who spent all his time in the PC. He was often seen as Moonbat's brother (and some people confused the two of them).
Master Geodude the Geodude:
This geodude was caught with a Master Ball and was sometimes portrayed as in charge of PC Primary School.
Bidoof Egg (Flaredoof):
This was 006 and Solareon's egg which was deposited. Some people felt bad for him and hatched him in the saved games. He is sometimes thought of as growing up to work for Joey (Joey had a Bibarel in Heartgold).

Chimchar ("Chimchan", "Lazor-ape"):
Chimchan was seen as affectionate, but messy and someone who reminded Napoleon of Pearl. She used leer a lot, but was released by trolls determined to continue the curse of fire after only eleven hours. The suddenness meant that some saw her as eaten by a staraptor. She is also sometimes seen as Flint's infernape's baby sister and that he was fighting us in his anger and grief.

1 00RR0000 the Bidoof ("Oreo"):
Oreo was the first mon that Napoleon released. Some see Oreo as Ziggy in disguise. Of those who believe that Ziggy disguised himself as a bidoof to get caught, others see him as the second, nameless bidoof that was released. Either way, he still visited his bidoof friends in the PC until Nappaw's release broke him.
nppmwB9♢Im the Bidoof ("Nappaw", "Betadoof", "Second Bidoof"):
Nappaw was the last bidoof to remain in Napoleon's party and is often considered to have become friends with Ziggy. She tried to evolvemany times, but eventually, it was decided that we had to replace her with a bibarel from the PC as we needed a bibarel's HM slave abilities and we were not having any success evolving her. Tragedy struck when she was released by trolls as we attempted to deposit her and in horror, the PC was abandonned. Trolls declared victory and the death of TPP, but we caught 006 immediately afterwards, preventing a setback.

Giratina (God of Antimatter, "Lord Giratina", "Discord", "President Giratina", "Satan Snake", "God of Trolling"):
(Yes, one of his nicknames is MLP's Discord). Giratina is the Lord of Trolling due to the difficulty in fighting it and the difficulty n even getting to it. We deliberately got rid of all our pokeballs before getting to it to prevent trolls from using them in the extremely difficult fight against Cyrus. Steve's victory over it resulted in him earning the title of "Shadowslayer".

Apparently, the second gym is almost finished.
Cheryl:
As the first stat trainer, Cheryl was the first to fight alongside him. While she asked him to help protect her, she ended up protecting him more. This resulted in a lot of shipping between the two of them and is seen as one of the important events that helped Napoleon break out of his cold shell.
Volkner:
In addition to beingthe last gym leader, he is often seen as a relative of Pearl who helped raise him.
Aaron:
Aaron is the first of the Elite Four, a friend of Bebe and a professor who was initially studying Napoleon, but believed that the Voices weren't real, but a mental illness. He thinks Cynthia is irresponsible in her treatment of him and wants to stop him as he believes Napoleon is a danger to himself and society. He is a terrible judge of character who was manipulated by both Cyrus and Bill, but eventually comes around and in an act of atonement, created a program to heal pokemon outside of the Pokemon center (the doctors and nurses introduced in fifth gen)..
Cynthia:
Cynthia is seen as a cool big sis figure and mentor to Napoleon. She studied the Voices and wants to test Napoleon to see if he's really the host and if he would really be a good and strong ruler. Her final test was battling him as champion. She earned Amber's favour and became his acolyte, where he granted her the same agelessness that Dome had granted Bill.
Looker ("David Tennant"):
Looker, who's nickname comes from his appearance, is the interpol agent investigating Cyrus, the Voices and ll the other strange things going on. Teala is often seen as his colleague.
Bebe:
Bebe is the PC admin of Sinnoh, a friend of Aaron and Cynthia and is usually seen as an unwitting pawn of Bill. She gave Solareon to the Voices, but then regretted it when she heard all the terrible things that had happened to the hosts' previous pokemon. She eventually came to an understanding with them.
Pearl's Empoleon (Napkins):
This is the starter people where aiming for, but Peal got him. He is generally sen as a lot like Napoleon.
Shiny Geodude:
The golden geodude that Sunbrella fainted.
Roselia (Roselio):
Queen Subrella's consort who was erased from existence. He is usually seen as a handsome rogue with a mustache and is compared to Aladdin.

The Lake Guardians:
These three legendary pokemon are sometimes seen as the ones to have summoned the Voices to Sinnoh in the first place. When Napoleon gave Uxie a pokedoll in an act of kindness instead of capturing it, it was the final proof that he had come to love pokemon.
Next: Twitch Plays Pokemon Heartgold.

I should mention that there was one more Platinum character I haven't mentioned, as she became more important in the next run.
After Platinum, we wanted to conclude the Bill arc as Heartgold would be the last game we would see him. It was awesome, in my opinion.
Twitch Plays Pokemon Heartgold:
"Full moon over Mount Silver"
"No Mon. No Kings. Only Gods."
aoooo ("Ao(-chan)", "Aurora", "Aoi"):
Aoooo is typically seen as the girl chosen by the gods to defeat Bill. In some interpretations, Amber and Dome visited her in a dream before the Voices arrived, begging her to save them. She is also sometimes seen as trained by the kimono girls as a miko, priestess or medium of the gods as they foresaw her destiny. "Aoooo" is typically seen as what she calls herself as she hates her real name (which people don't agree on) and most of the fans call her that. The resemblance of he assumed name to a howl, the fact that her signature looks like scratches, the fact that she hails from New Bark Town and the fact that the glitches in the game made it look like she was transforming meant that it quickly became popular to see her as a werewolf (or were-mightyena, zoroark ... something like that). This is not really portrayed as horrifying. In fact, it's usually portrayed as cute, with Aoooo drawn with wolf characteristics and the Voices would howl her name in support of her. Aooo is typically seen as someone who started out as a bit asocial, with Ethan as her only real human friend. She's often portrayed as someone who actually WANTED friends before though, but that she never made an opportunity to make any beforehand. She is often seen as having been a bit wild and someone who liked pokemon more than people. She is also often portrayed as speaking in Hulk speak. This is not usually meant to insult her intelligence, but to indicate that she doen't like talking like a normal human, using few words, at least, when speaking. She is sometimes seen as a fanfic writer. She is certainly a creative person, enjoying fashion as evidenced by the fact that she repeatedly checked her fashion case. She is normally seen as someone who prefers making her own clothes rather than buying them, as she's non-conformist. She is also sometimes portrayed as enjoying knitting and baking. As a non-conformist, slightly rebellious person who normally prefers to remain isolated and out of trouble, despite her inner desire for human companionship, she did not appreciate the Voices telling her what to do and taking her on a big adventure and she soon became very scared of what she was getting involved in and what she was being asked to do. That said, she eventually learned the importance of responsibility and decided that even though she was scared, she needed to stop Bill. She also appreciated the new friends she made and AooooxSabrina is one of the big One True Pairings in the fandom. Aoooo likes pokemon and bonds with them more easily than with people. She especially likes rock and ground types and her team was pretty much always full of them, resulting in her being compared to an earthbender or having people wonder if she'd like to be a rock or ground gym leader one day. Trumpbrava is seen as her greatest friend who stayed with her constantly and is called an honourary werewolf. Aoooo was continually supported by the gods throughout the run, with her team ending up full of them. Eventually, she defeated the coerced Alice on top of Mount Silver, returning the gods to full power and destroying the power of Bill's randomiser, ending his reign.

4 ("4-chan"):
Four is Aoooo's rival and the first to be given an in-game nickname. Four was almost named ♀, so, it's very popular to see Four as a girl who is pretending to be a boy. She is also associated with death, due to the connotations of the number Four and is often drawn with a scythe. Four is typically seen as Silver's younger sibling (except for those who think that this Giovanni is not the same as the previous Giovanni) and neglected by her father who saw her as unworthy because of her gender, giving her a number instead of a name. Four set out to prove him wrong, but still tried to emulate her older brother, at least, at first. Four stole a starter from professor Elm. It was an aipom who attempted to woo Trumpbrava (then a trapinch) with attract, but while Trumpbrava was interested, she defeated him anyway. She replaced her starter with a houndoom and then a kriketot (who evolved into a kriketune) (the game was re-randomised twice to fix a bug in the randomisation). Four otherwise had type-themed teams after that, with the exception of her starter. She used an ice team at one point, to counter us. She was generally portrayed as slowly coming around to liking Four after a bad start. She's also associated with the "Trashy Man" speech from Pokemon Vietnamese Crystal. When teaming up with Aooo against Lance and Clair, she used a registeel. She also owns an island named after her.
