They are referenced here and there, but are nowhere to be found. Foe Romance Subtext: With N, as it's lightly implied that N has feelings for the main character.Eye-Obscuring Hat: Their battle sprites appear to purposely invoke Red by having their hats obscure their eyes at first, for reasons unknown.As a partner in the Battle Subway, their offensive-team includes the Dragon-type Haxorus.Apart from any other Dragon-types Hilbert/Hilda may catch, they end up canonically awakening and catching the dragon opposing N's (Reshiram in Black, Zekrom in White) and are accepted as a fellow hero of legend by them.Interestingly enough, if you check out the television in their room before choosing your starter, it mentions their father bought it. Declaration of Protection: With Bianca, as her father asks Hilbert/Hilda to protect her after he's convinced to stop trying to stop her from traveling through the Unova region.They do have the honor of being the only protagonist since Red to be mentioned by more than one person in a future game though, and contribute to the plot of it in some form.

Their intended cameos in Black 2 and White 2 were Dummied Out, they were the first pair of protagonists (Green notwithstanding) to not appear in even so much as a cameo in the show or movies, and as mentioned above the character you didn't pick is, unlike in almost every other main-series game, just a regular NPC you can tag up with in the Battle Subway. Demoted to Extra: Out of all of the protagonists in the series, these two have had the least spotlight.Hilda is featured as the protagonist of Pokémon Black in Pokémon Evolutions.Hilbert is identified as the protagonist in Pokémon Masters, having been looking for N after Black & White.The Chosen One: N seems to believe so, considering them a "hero of legend" much like himself, and Zekrom/Reshiram confirms it.The Cameo: You team up with the character you didn't pick during Tag Battles in the Battle Subway, but they don't appear in a plot-relevant capacity.But Now I Must Go: Offscreen one in between Black and White and the sequels where s/he leaves Unova to find N.
