Aaron is the first member of Sinnoh's Elite Four who appears as an opponent in Pokémon: Diamond, Pearl and Platinum Versions (as well as the Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl remakes). He specializes in bug-type Pokémon.

Background[edit]

Aaron was a young-looking member of the Elite Four who was known for being a big fan of Bug-type Pokémon. He appreciated them for being both "nasty-mean" and beautiful, and he claimed that he started admiring them for their survival skills when he was young. He viewed Bug Pokémon as perfect and said that he took on challengers as an Elite Four member so that he could become as perfect as his Pokémon. Because of his ideal view of Bug-type Pokémon, he blamed any flaws or defeats he suffered solely on himself.

In Diamond, Pearl and Platinum (as well as Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl), he was challenged and defeated by Lucas/Dawn. He conceded defeat while hoping that the challenger recognized the greatness of Bug-type Pokémon and realized why they were up against the Elite Four, due to battling being a complex affair. As he lost with "the most beautiful and toughest of the bug Pokémon", he attributed his loss to not being tough enough and resigned himself to further training.
