While I was doing a Master ranked contest, I ran into a girl by the name of Casey. She looked like the woman at the counters out front. She used a Chansey by the name of pinky. I was just wondering if she was an important character.
She also looks the same as the nurse at the Pokemon Center, which makes more sense since she uses Chansey.  I thin k she should be added to the list. [[User:Inker|Inker]] 03:05, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
I think Casey is just nobody just another character like Gabriel or whatever the others are called. I've seen Casey at the same time as Johanna, while I haven't seen Fantina or Jasmine at the same time as each other. Also her rating thing isn't high like the others. If Casey is include so should the others. I think it should be removed.{{u|Laxafett}} 21:43,6 May 2009(UTC)

I had not seen the untranslated (if I am reading this correctly) Poké Ball or contest rankings in the Gen 3 cartridge for Sapphire.

Special Poffin.

I don't know what article this belongs in.
