A Gentleman (Japanese: ジェントルマン Gentleman) is a type of Pokémon Trainer that first debuted in the Generation I games. They are older men in dapper suits.

They generally use Pokémon based on pets - such as Growlithe, Manectric, or Chatot. They also tend to give out large amounts of money for winning. In the Battle Subway, they specialize in legendary Pokémon.

In Pokémon Stadium, they are known as Old Men. In Generation IV, they gain a female counterpart in the form of Socialite.

In the anime

A Gentleman appeared in Battle Aboard the St. Anne. This Gentleman owned a Raticate that, oddly enough, could use Jump Kick (Hi Jump Kick in the dub). Ash traded his Butterfree for the Raticate, but grew a little worried about his Butterfree, so he and the Gentleman traded back their Pokémon, just before the St. Anne started sinking due to a storm. A Gentleman who looks similar made a brief cameo in Time Warp Heals All Wounds.

On hand

The following is a list of Pokémon owned by the Gentleman in the anime:

Ash's Raticate
Raticate
Main article: Ash's Raticate

The Gentleman's Raticate was first seen fighting a young Trainer's Starmie, who was defeated. It was then used in a battle against Ash's Butterfree. The Gentleman, who was in awe over Butterfree's power, traded Raticate to Ash for it. Ash soon started to regret the trade and, as the St. Anne was sinking, traded Raticate back to the Gentleman.

Gentleman's Squirtle
Squirtle
Little is known about the Gentleman's Squirtle as it was seen only very briefly when it teamed up with a bunch of other Squirtle to fight off Team Rocket.

None of Squirtle's moves are known.

Traded away

Ash's Butterfree
Butterfree
Main article: Ash's Butterfree

Butterfree was originally owned by Ash. He was traded to the Gentleman after a battle between the two Trainers when the Gentleman stated his interest in the Butterfly Pokémon. He teamed up with some other Butterfree with their Stun Spore to get rid of Team Rocket before he was traded back to Ash, who missed him too much.

In the manga

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

In the Red, Green & Blue arc a Gentleman makes a cameo in Gyarados Splashes In! talking with a PC operator.

Another Gentleman appears in Bombastic Bibarel and Heroic Hippopotas of the Diamond & Pearl arc where he, along with a Socialite, battles Diamond and Pearl.

Pokémon

Here is a listing of the Gentleman's Pokémon from the Diamond & Pearl arc:

Gentleman's Hippopotas
Hippopotas
Hippopotas is the Gentleman's only known Pokémon. By using a Ground-type move to create a Sandstorm along with Bibarel's Water Gun, they were able to confuse the battlefield. However, it wasn't that long before the Hippo Pokémon gets knocked out by Tru's Wood Hammer.

Hippopotas's only known move is Sand Tomb.
