'''Joey''' (Japanese: '''ゴロウ''' ''Gorō'') is a {{tc|Youngster}} and one of the few [[Trainer class|regular Trainers]] who appeared in other canons than the games themselves. In [[Chuang Yi]]'s translations of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, he is known as '''Grant'''; however, [[VIZ Media]]'s translations, consistent with the games, refer to him as Joey.

He is first seen battling with another {{tc|Youngster}}, Mikey, and blocking [[Johto Route 30|the route]]. After the player delivers the {{key|II|Mystery Egg}} to [[Professor Elm]], Joey is done with battling after his apparent loss to Mikey. He is now ready to challenge the {{player}} with his {{p|Rattata}}. After the battle, he gives out his [[Pokégear]] number and hence can be [[rematch]]ed. After every rematch, Joey will give out an [[HP Up]] to the player.

In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Joey greatly emphasises the fact that he only raises one Pokémon, his {{p|Rattata}} ({{p|Raticate}} from the third rematch and onwards), claiming that it is in the "top percentage of {{p|Rattata}}."

Bulbanews has an article related to this subject:

Joey (Japanese: ゴロウ Gorō) is a Youngster and one of the few regular Trainers who appeared in other canons than the games themselves. In Chuang Yi's translations of the Pokémon Adventures manga, he is known as Grant; however, VIZ Media's translations, consistent with the games, refer to him as Joey.

In the games

In the Generation II games, other than the rival, Joey is the first Trainer the player battles in the game.

He is first seen battling with another Youngster, Mikey, and blocking the route. After the player delivers the Mystery Egg to Professor Elm, Joey is done with battling after his apparent loss to Mikey. He is now ready to challenge the player with his Rattata. After the battle, he gives out his Pokégear number and hence can be rematched. After every rematch, Joey will give out an HP Up to the player.

In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Joey greatly emphasises the fact that he only raises one Pokémon, his Rattata (Raticate from the first rematch and onwards), claiming that it is in the "top percentage of Rattata."

Joey in Pokémon Adventures manga

Joey is Professor Elm's assistant and his errand boy. His partner Pokémon is Rattata.

He is first seen in Gold's garden, on the way to Elm's lab to deliver several Pokémon to the professor for examination. However, his backpack was stolen by a wild Murkrow, along with Gold's radio antenna, causing Gold's radio to lose broadcast. After noticing that something is wrong with radio, Gold spots Joey in the garden and mistakes him for the thief. The Youngster explains that the real thief is Murkrow. Gold then decides to retrieve the stolen objects. He soon succeeds and catches the Murkrow. The boys soon become friends.

After the incident with Murkrow, Gold and Joey travel together for a while. After a trip in New Bark Town, Gold notices Pokémon from his backpack have been stolen and they go to the laboratory to tell Professor Elm about it. Unluckily, they come to the lab just after Silver stole the Totodile. After that, Joey uses his computer to montage a picture of Silver for the police. Then, they meet Professor Oak who is interested by the fact that Silver had a Pokédex. It turns out that the Oak was the one who ordered him to deliver the Pokémon to Elm. Gold wants to get a Pokédex from Oak, but the professor refuses.

After that, Gold decides to train when a thunderstorm started to rage. Joey's Rattata falls into the river, and Gold goes to rescue it. After Joey tells this to Professor Oak, the professor decides to give Gold the Pokédex. After that, Joey decides to return to New Bark Town to pay Professor Elm a visit, while Gold decides to search for Silver. The boys go separate ways.

Joey is later seen as a cameo helping Professor Elm.

In Chuang Yi's translations of the manga, he was known as Grant. However, VIZ Media's translations properly identify him as Joey.

Rattata
Rattata is Joey's partner Pokémon. Its strengths are unknown but was hurt by Aibo's Scratch when Gold first met Joey.

None of Rattata's moves are known.

Debut Murkrow Row

In the Golden Boys manga

Joey is first seen in the very first chapter of the manga. He is battling Gold's Totodile with his Rattata. After the battle, Gold tells Joey how he got his Totodile in a flashback scene. Then, the boys spot an injured Pidgey lying amidst the grass of Route 28. After Gold helps the Pidgey recover using a Berry, Joey starts to appreciate Gold's kind heart. After that, the boys go separate ways.

Joey is seen again on the Summit in Ecruteak City. His Rattata has apparently evolved into a Raticate.

Joey's Raticate was first seen as a Rattata in a flashback during the first chapter. It battled Gold's Totodile and lost despite the fact that Totodile was Gold's newly caught Pokémon. When Joey was on the summit in Ecruteak City, his Rattata was revealed to have evolved into a Raticate.

Raticate's only known move is Hyper Fang.

Debut Let's Go! The Journey Towards The Championship

Trivia

  • On the Pokégear, even after his Rattata has evolved into Raticate, Joey brags about his Rattata, not Raticate.
    • This is, however, a common trait that applies to all such Trainers (in games with the Pokégear) that can be rematched and have Pokémon that evolve between rematches.
  • Joey, his Rattata, and the phrase "top percentage of Rattata" have become memetic.
  • Many core series games feature other Trainers named Youngster Joey. However, these Trainers do not use Rattata (except for the one in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen) and have no other connection to the Youngster Joey in Johto. Only the ones in Pokémon Black and White and Pokémon X and Y have the same Japanese name as this Joey.
