The point of this comic is to show the Pokémon anime if it were a roleplaying game instead of, well, an anime. (Which also means Pokémon doesn't exist, much like with Darths & Droids.) So obviously, a large portion of the main cast is going to be portrayed as players in this big roleplaying game. We know Ash is, and maybe this gives you an idea of who else.
That's the goal, anyway.
