The rich people you encounter in the Pokemon Scarlet Teal Mask DLC are primarily represented by the flamboyant duo, Billy and O’Nare, known as the Glitterati. These trainers are characterized by their extravagant gold outfits and their apparent wealth, which they readily display through their appearance and dialogue. They are initially found in the Apple Hills area near Mossui Town, overlooking the rice paddies along Kitakami Road. Though they later appear elsewhere, their initial encounter establishes them as figures of considerable affluence within the game’s narrative. While other characters may possess wealth or influence, Billy and O’Nare are the most explicitly portrayed as embodying the lifestyle and aesthetic of the very rich within the Teal Mask’s setting.

Meeting the Glitterati: Billy and O’Nare

First Encounter: Apple Hills

Your first introduction to Billy and O’Nare is quite memorable. As you make your way through Kitakami, specifically along the cliffside path leaving Mossui Town heading west towards Apple Hills, their shimmering gold outfits will undoubtedly catch your eye. These two stand out against the natural landscape, immediately signaling their unique status within the region. They are not just trainers; they are the Glitterati, and they make sure you know it.

Glitterati Style and Persona

Everything about Billy and O’Nare screams wealth. Their clothing is pure gold, radiating an aura of opulence. Their dialogue often hints at their privileged lifestyle, and their very presence seems designed to attract attention. They represent a specific kind of rich – the kind that wants everyone to know they are rich.

Battling (or Not) the Glitterati

While you encounter Billy in battles during your adventure, not all encounters result in a fight. The article mentions an encounter with O’Nare in Casseroya Lake, where she doesn’t want to battle and instead gifts you 10 Pearl Strings. This highlights the fact that their role isn’t solely about battling; they also serve as interesting NPCs with unique interactions and rewards.

Beyond Battles: Their Role in Kitakami

The Glitterati aren’t just there to provide a trainer battle or a free gift. They add color and depth to the Kitakami region. They represent a certain segment of the population – those who are privileged and perhaps a little out of touch with the everyday lives of others. Their presence contributes to the overall world-building of the Teal Mask DLC.

Are There Other Wealthy Characters?

While Billy and O’Nare are the most obvious examples of wealth in the Teal Mask DLC, it’s worth considering if other characters might also be considered rich in a more subtle way.

Local Business Owners

Kitakami has its own community, and it’s likely that some individuals, such as shop owners or established farmers, have accumulated significant wealth within the local economy. These individuals may not flaunt their wealth like the Glitterati, but they could still be considered relatively well-off within their community.

Trainers with Rare Pokemon

Another way characters might be considered rich is through their possession of rare or powerful Pokemon. While not necessarily monetary wealth, owning sought-after Pokemon can give trainers significant advantages in battles and potentially open doors to other opportunities.

Comparing Paldea and Kitakami

It’s also interesting to consider the contrast between the Paldea region of the base game and the Kitakami region of the Teal Mask DLC. In Paldea, you have figures like Larry, the salaryman Gym Leader, who represents a different kind of wealth – a more stable and career-driven form of success. Kitakami, on the other hand, has the Glitterati, whose wealth seems more tied to lifestyle and appearance.
