Curtis (Japanese:テツTetsu), otherwise known under the screen nameChristoph (Japanese:テンマTenma), is a character that appears inPokémon Black 2 and White 2 if theplayer's gender is female. He is the male counterpart toYancy.

In the core series games

Curtis is first encountered after the female player picks up theDropped Item (Xtransceiver) inNimbasa City. Upon obtaining the item, Curtis calls it and identifies himself as the owner of the lost Xtransceiver. However he is busy at work and is unable to retrieve it at the time, so he asks the female player to hold onto it until he is free from work.

He will call his Xtransceiver when the female player is in specific locations aroundUnova. After exchanging several phone calls, Curtis would note that his work involves traveling toKanto,Hoenn, andSinnoh from time to time. The player's relation with Curtis increases as calls are made or received.

At the tenth call, Curtis would inform the player that he is finally free from work and would like to retrieve hisXtransceiver back inNimbasa City. After returning his Xtransceiver, the game will randomly select one of the 15 areas where Curtis called the player initially, and the female player can call Curtis from anywhere in that area. This will happen every time Curtis is called from then on. After the thirtieth call, the player may join Curtis in a ride at the Rondez-View Ferris Wheel. After the first call of every next day, Curtis will ask the player for a Ferris Wheel ride, and if the player has entered theHall of Fame, he will offer to trade a Pokémon after the ride. Pokémon traded from him haveHidden Abilities, are atlevel 50, and have no predeterminedNature,gender, orindividual values. It is possible to receive multiples of the same species.

From the 31st through 49th calls (except the Ferris-Wheel-ride calls), Curtis will say any of a variety of things. On the 50th call, his co-worker will accidentally pick up the phone, revealing Curtis in his working outfit.

Curtis, as Christoph, appears in various television shows as a celebrity idol, regardless of the player's gender.
