== Men in PWT ==

In the Trivia section, it is mentioned that 'In Pokémon Black and White Versions 2, the man inside the PWT incorrectly refers to her as a Rock-type Gym Leader, instead of Steel.'

The man inside the PWT merely mentions that Jasmine '''USED''' to use Rock-type Pokemon:
1. Not that she is a Rock-type Gym Leader.
2. It is about her past.

==Jasmine's Speech Patterns==

Jasmine has trouble speaking? Do you mean she has a speech impediment (which I don't recall her having), or do you mean that she has social trouble due to her shyness? In that case...I donno, 'trouble speaking' seems like the wrong phrase to use. --BJ

I'd have to second that one on just being straight shyness, and no speech impediment...

I meant that she freezes up and mumbles while talking because she's so shy. Not that she actually has a impediment or disorder or anything. I mean, if I said I had "trouble drawing" it just means that I'm bad at drawing. Not that I have arthritis or am missing a hand. But if you'd like to rephrase it, be my guest.

:It is not even worth mentioning; just because someone pauses or says "um" does not mean they have trouble speaking. -Lord Hyren 01:31, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

== D/P ==

Her quotes from Diamond and Pearl should added along with Her Steelix and what moves it uses in the super contests.--[[User:Lego3400|Lego3400]] 20:49, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

== her relative ==

in "fight for the light" she is in the lighthouse with her '''Grandpa Myron''', but the page says her relatives are unknown -[[User:Moldy orange|Moldy orange]]
:Grandpa Myron? Never heard of 'em. Was he seen? --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 20:53, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

:Yes he was seen! He is in the shining lighthouse with jasmine when Ash and co. come to talk to her again. He is the one who explains to Ash that Ampharos was the light for the lighthouse before there was electricity and that once the other lighthouse was built, they still use Ampharos to continue the tradition. and how it is sick. He is with Jasmine throughout the last half of the episode. -[[User:Moldy orange|Moldy orange]] 23:58, 1 January 2008

== Super contest ==

I was in a super contest on diamond the other day and I saw her in the audience. [[User:Darkmaster0|Darkmaster]][[User talk:Darkmaster0|0]]
:Already mentioned in the article -Lord Hyren 01:33, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
::No it's not. She enters super contests, she might be watching regular contests. We have nothing about her watching super contests. It might be trivia-worthy, but I'd like you to provide a picture. After all, it wouldn't make much sense to have Jasmine watching super contests if she's ''in'' them. --[[User:Martonimos|Martonimos]][[User talk:Martonimos|((Argh]]|[[Special:Contributions/Martonimos|Blargh))]] 02:22, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

== Kankitsu Family? ==
"The Steel President of the Kankitsu Family" is the translation of her Japanese title. Does this mean her family name, at least in the Japanese version, is Kankitsu (Kankitsu Mikan)? Looking deeper into the meaning of Kankitsu, it is also the name for Pumello Island in the Japanese version, and thus must be a variant of the orange fruit. Therefore, it could be just a joke in reference to her name, Mikan, which is another variant of orange. Still, I wonder if they really mean her to be her family name. Ah. Here it seems "Kankitsurui" means "Citrus Fruits", so Kankitsu probably just means citrus fruit. This would make her, Mikan (the Mandarin Orange) the "President" of the Citrus Fruit Family. I must conclude it's most likely just a joke, not her actual name. Still, it is worth noting. [[User:Kumori Satosuke|Satosuke]] 01:01, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

::"Kankitsu Family" is a Mistranslation. It should be Citrus Family ([[wp:Family (biology)|family under its biological definition]]). --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 13:25, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
:::"Kankitsu" is "citrus" in Japanese, so I don't see how it's a mistranslation. --[[User:Kohei|Kohei]] 04:56, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
::::But it's not a family name. And what is not a proper noun, should be translated. It's like the infamous [[AG166|Red "Inazuma"]]. In other words, leaving wors untranslated is a mistranslation because it may indicate they are proper nouns (e.g. family names), while they are not. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 06:38, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

== Traded Steelix ==

...has the same nickname as the one she uses in Contests. Moves? Or do they vary based on the level? '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 01:06, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
:I would assume it's based on level as usual though... as for Brock's Rhyhorn guaranteeing {{m|Thunder Fang}}... I'm not sure... [[User:Ht14|'''''ht''''']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']]★ 01:52, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

== G/S/C Sprite ==

Anyone notice how her sprite from Gold, Silver, and Crystal seems a little... scrunched? Or is it just my computer? The file itself seems fine, and it only looks like this on her page. --Leo058
:I have no idea what the hell I just did, but it appears to have fixed it :P. Oh, and please sign your comments by typing <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> at the end of them.--'''[[Water (type)|Liquid]]''' [[Mask of Ice|'''ICE''']] (User:Cold)([[user:Cold|page]], [[User talk:Cold|talk]]) 12:37, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
::Oh no, wait, ''I'' didn't do anything, I think it was just something screwy with the server (This happened to me on [[Brock]] as well). Next time you see anything like this, try purging the server by clicking the UTC clock in the upper right corner of the page first (It worked for me).--'''[[Water (type)|Liquid]]''' [[Mask of Ice|'''ICE''']] (User:Cold)([[user:Cold|page]], [[User talk:Cold|talk]]) 13:16, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
:::Or, all you have to do is click on the image, and then refresh the image's page. Things like this normally happen when a new image is uploaded and replaces an older one. It happened with Silver's HGSS sprite a few weeks back, where on the page it was only about 30 pixels tall. When you refresh/purge the file, it fixes the image/sprite for every page it's currently on.

== Two places at once? ==

If DPPt and HGSS take place at the same time, then isn't Jasmine in 2 places at once? [[User:ShinyPikachu/Petition|Never Give Up]] [[User:ShinyPikachu|'''Pika''']] 00:03, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
:Preeeeetty sure that a lot can happen (including traveling) during an unspecified period of time within the same year. [[User:Umeko|梅子]][[User talk:Umeko|❀]][[Special:Contributions/Umeko|✿]] 00:07, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
::Also, it is never explicitly stated the two games occur at the exact same time. Without wanting to get into miles of debate about all this, remember that the events of DPPt are triggered by the sighting of a Red Gyarados. Jasmine appears at the end of that, so has plenty of time to run to Sinnoh in between losses to Gold. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 00:18, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
:::"At the same time" doesn't always mean "at the exact same second". '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 00:25, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
::::Her conversation with Erika makes it clear that she doesn't go to Sinnoh until shortly after HGSS. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] |[[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|Talk Page]]| 08:04, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
:::::The Red Gyarados broadcast means that Lucas/Dawn start their journey right around the time Lyra/Ethan are battling Pryce. Presumably, in the time it takes for the DPPt protagonist to go through everything up to Sunnyshore Gym, Lyra/Ethan are running around Kanto battling the Gyms. Jasmine and Erika have their conversation and Jasmine has been convinced to go to Sinnoh. She uses Rusty in Super Contests and eventually goes home. At this point Lyra/Ethan has probably beaten Red and pays Olivine Gym a visit and Jasmine offers to trade Rusty. That's my theory.--[[User:Flameblight|Flameblight]] 23:52, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

== Jasmine's Steelix trade ==

Jasmine just offered to trade me her Steelix, even though I haven't even tried to beat her in a rematch yet, nor have I gotten a call from her offering a trade (although it's slightly possible I could have missed the call). I forgot I had gotten her phone number already and was looking to see if she was in the gym since she wasn't in the Olivine Cafe, and after talking to her twice I had the option to trade one of my pokemon for her Steelix.

== Her age? ==

Where's the source for this info? If there is none, it needs to be removed. - [[User:050294|050294]] 17:37, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

== Amphy ==

WHY is Lyra in the corner of the picture in "Amphy"'s infobox? [[User:Flyingtypefan|Flyingtypefan]] 03:25, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
Oops. Just found out why. But shouldn't we get a different picture for it? [[User:Flyingtypefan|Flyingtypefan]] 03:33, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
:It's HD so it stays. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 04:10, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

== Cool Info ==

I think that Jasmine is the only gym leader to have a male, female, and a genderless Pokémon in the same battle. (HGSS Rematch). I'm going to see if this is true, but if someone knows otherwise, please put it here so I don't waste my time. ----[[User:Zewis29|Zewis29]] ([[User talk:Zewis29|Talk]], [[Special:Contributions/Zewis29|Contribs]]) 14:14, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

I meant main series, because it happens all the time in Stadium. ----[[User:Zewis29|Zewis29]] ([[User talk:Zewis29|Talk]], [[Special:Contributions/Zewis29|Contribs]]) 15:03, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
::That's just as interesting as "one of [character]'s [Pokemon] shares its name with [a random character of the day] who also has a [that Pokemon]". Please no. I'll repeat this again. We've really got ENOUGH of such trivia bits. We should purge trivia sections, not expand them. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 15:29, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

I found out that it is true. ''I'' think it is notable. I spent I while looking it up. A long while. ----[[User:Zewis29|Zewis29]] ([[User talk:Zewis29|Talk]], [[Special:Contributions/Zewis29|Contribs]]) 18:32, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
:I agree, that DOES seem notable. Unlike your example, Maxim, this trivia relates only to the page it is on. It's a genuine curiosity, unique to Jasmine alone, unlike trivia saying "OMG the same real world name was used twice in different media! It's a conspiracy LOL!" So while I agree that too much trivia is a bad thing, I think this trivia is worth adding to the page. --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] 11:57, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

So, can I add it? I really want to add it myself. ----[[User:Zewis29|Zew]][[User:Zewis29/Articles|is]] [[User talk:Zewis29|(2]][[Special:Contributions/Zewis29|9)]] 15:58, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

== Original voice actress ==

a simple question about this characther in japanese Yumi Kakazu reprises her role of Jasmine later for almost 9 years?

== Steelix article? ==
I'm wondering why Jasmine's Steelix doesn't have an article. It is even more notable than [[Amphy]]:
*it saved Ash and co. from TR, was Jasmine's main battling Pokémon in gym battle and reappeared in Sinnoh
*it is her main battling Pokémon in all games, even in Puzzle Challenge
*she uses in Super Contests and trades one to player
*it inroduced steel-type in Adventures canon

I and probably many else users think that it really needs an own article.--[[User:Dennou Zenshi|でんのう]] ☢ [[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|'''Z'''えんし]] 19:19, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

:To answer your question as to why Amphy has an article while whatever the name of her Steelix is doesn't, it is likely because Amphy is a part of the main plot in the games while her Steelix is not. Now to add to this, if you feel her Steelix needs and article and if you are ''sure'' it does not yet have one, why not make it yourself? [[User:Felinoel|felinoel]] 19:49, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

== DP180 Dub VA ==
I didn't see the episode yet, but did Tara Jayne actually reprise the role? The only reason I'm asking is because I find it pretty hard to believe, if true. --[[User:The Great Butler|The Great Butler]] 02:22, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

No, she did not reprise her role. I've seen the video on youtube and it's completely different voice actor, but I'm not sure who it is. You can find the video by searching "Pokemon DP 180" then filtering/search option it by "Upload Date". [[User:Datonyp1|Datonyp1]] 05:29, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

== Pokémon who are the opposite gender to their Trainer. ==

Well, Jasmine in GSC has a Steelix male and two Magnemites, which are genderless, should blow everything up. So ...

''"I am Karen of the Elite Four. Are you [[Player character|<name>]]? How amusing. I love Dark-type Pokémon. I find their wild, tough image to be so appealing. And they're so strong. Think you can take them? Just try to entertain me. Let's go."''

''"Well, aren't you good. I like that in a trainer."''

''"Strong Pokémon. Weak Pokémon. That is only the selfish perception of people. Truly skilled trainers should try to win with their favorites. I like your style. You understand what's important. Go on--the Champion is waiting."''

==In the Pokémon Special manga==
[[Image:Karen.PNG|right|frame|Karen]]
Karen, along with [[Will]], {{Special|Blue}}, {{Special|Silver}}, [[Chermaine]], and [[Keane]], is one of the children kidnapped by the [[Mask of Ice]] and raised to be his servants. Karen was one of the leaders of the new [[Team Rocket]] formed in Johto.

After the Mask of Ice was defeated, Karen formed an alliance with [[Bruno]], Will, and [[Koga]]; the four of them all ex-members of various criminal organizations.

==Trivia==
*Due to the palette used in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, it was debated for a long time whether Karen's hair was officially silver or blonde. Much like the official artwork and {{g|Stadium 2}} artwork of her, however, {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}'s sprites depict her with silver hair.
*In Generation II, her hair is depicted as being shoulder length. In Generation IV, it is depicted reaching up to her hips.

==Trivia==
*Will's hair falls over the left side of his face, leading to his left eye being whited out in some depictions. This has spurred debate as to whether he has one functioning eye or two. This is rectified in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, where his overworld sprite clearly shows two eyes, both obscured by white. His mask thus acts like those of {{wp|Batman}} and {{wp|Robin (comics)|Robin}}.
*Interestingly, his Japanese name Itsuki is shared with a character from {{wp|The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya}}, {{wp|Itsuki Koizumi}}, who is an {{wp|esper}}. The {{type2|Psychic}}, Will's preference, is known as the Esper type in Japan.
* All of Will's Pokémon (excluding {{p|Jynx}}) changed from male in {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} to female in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}.
** Similarly to [[Saturn]] and [[Bugsy]], his Pokémon are the opposite gender of himself despite having a 50-50 gender ratio.

''"I am Karen of the Elite Four. Are you [[Player character|<name>]]? How amusing. I love Dark-type Pokémon. I find their wild, tough image to be so appealing. And they're so strong. Think you can take them? Just try to entertain me. Let's go."''

''"Well, aren't you good. I like that in a trainer."''

''"Strong Pokémon. Weak Pokémon. That is only the selfish perception of people. Truly skilled trainers should try to win with their favorites. I like your style. You understand what's important. Go on--the Champion is waiting."''

==In the Pokémon Special manga==
[[Image:Karen.PNG|right|frame|Karen]]
Karen, along with [[Will]], {{Special|Blue}}, {{Special|Silver}}, [[Chermaine]], and [[Keane]], is one of the children kidnapped by the [[Mask of Ice]] and raised to be his servants. Karen was one of the leaders of the new [[Team Rocket]] formed in Johto.

After the Mask of Ice was defeated, Karen formed an alliance with [[Bruno]], Will, and [[Koga]]; the four of them all ex-members of various criminal organizations.

==Trivia==
*Due to the palette used in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, it was debated for a long time whether Karen's hair was officially silver or blonde. Much like the official artwork and {{g|Stadium 2}} artwork of her, however, {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}'s sprites depict her with silver hair.
*In Generation II, her hair is depicted as being shoulder length. In Generation IV, it is depicted reaching up to her hips.

''"I am Karen of the Elite Four. Are you [[Player character|<name>]]? How amusing. I love Dark-type Pokémon. I find their wild, tough image to be so appealing. And they're so strong. Think you can take them? Just try to entertain me. Let's go."''

''"Well, aren't you good. I like that in a trainer."''

''"Strong Pokémon. Weak Pokémon. That is only the selfish perception of people. Truly skilled trainers should try to win with their favorites. I like your style. You understand what's important. Go on--the Champion is waiting."''

==In the Pokémon Special manga==
[[Image:Karen.PNG|right|frame|Karen]]
Karen, along with [[Will]], {{Special|Blue}}, {{Special|Silver}}, [[Chermaine]], and [[Keane]], is one of the children kidnapped by the [[Mask of Ice]] and raised to be his servants. Karen was one of the leaders of the new [[Team Rocket]] formed in Johto.

After the Mask of Ice was defeated, Karen formed an alliance with [[Bruno]], Will, and [[Koga]]; the four of them all ex-members of various criminal organizations.

==Trivia==
*Due to the palette used in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, it was debated for a long time whether Karen's hair was officially silver or blonde. Much like the official artwork and {{g|Stadium 2}} artwork of her, however, {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}'s sprites depict her with silver hair.
*In Generation II, her hair is depicted as being shoulder length. In Generation IV, it is depicted reaching up to her hips.

Karen, along with [[Will]], {{Special|Blue}}, {{Special|Silver}}, [[Chermaine]], and [[Keane]], is one of the children kidnapped by the [[Mask of Ice]] and raised to be his servants. Karen was one of the leaders of the new [[Team Rocket]] formed in Johto.

After the Mask of Ice was defeated, Karen formed an alliance with [[Bruno]], Will, and [[Koga]]; the four of them all ex-members of various criminal organizations.

==Trivia==
*Due to the palette used in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, it was debated for a long time whether Karen's hair was officially silver or blonde. Much like the official artwork and {{g|Stadium 2}} artwork of her, however, {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}'s sprites depict her with silver hair.
*In Generation II, her hair is depicted as being shoulder length. In Generation IV, it is depicted reaching up to her hips.

==Trivia==
*Due to the palette used in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, it was debated for a long time whether Karen's hair was officially silver or blonde. Much like the official artwork and {{g|Stadium 2}} artwork of her, however, {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}'s sprites depict her with silver hair.
*In Generation II, her hair is depicted as being shoulder length. In Generation IV, it is depicted reaching up to her hips.

Karen, along with [[Will]], {{Special|Blue}}, {{Special|Silver}}, [[Chermaine]], and [[Keane]], is one of the children kidnapped by the [[Mask of Ice]] and raised to be his servants. Karen was one of the leaders of the new [[Team Rocket]] formed in Johto.

===Quotes===
====Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire====
''"Allow me to formally introduce myself. I am Wallace. The Gym Leader of Sootopolis. There's something about you... A difference in your demeanor. I think I sense that in you. What happened inside the Cave of Origin, and what you did, I will likely learn through our upcoming battle. Now, show me. Show me the power you wield with your Pokémon. And I, in turn, shall present you with a performance of illusions in water by me and my Pokémon!"''

''"Bravo. I realize now your authenticity and magnificence as a Pokémon Trainer. I find much joy in having met you and your Pokémon. You have proven yourself worthy of the Rain Badge. Accept it."''

====Pokémon Emerald====
''"Welcome, [[player character|<name>]]. That incident in Sootopolis City... That was superb work, putting an end to that crisis all by yourself. Oops! It wouldn't be fair to say that you alone ended the crisis. You overcome that difficult situation by working as one with your Pokémon. We Trainers raise Pokémon by giving them items and by teaching them new techniques for battle. But we ourselves also learn many things from Pokémon. And this is where your achievements are put to the test against what others like you have achieved. Now! Who can most elegantly dance with their Pokémon in Hoenn? Show me right here and now!"''

''"I, the Champion, fall in defeat... That was wonderful work. You were elegant, infuriatingly so. And yet it was utterly glorious! Kudos to you, [[player character|<name>]]! You are a truly noble Pokémon Trainer!"''

''"The Pokémon you sent into battle... At times they danced like a spring breeze, and at times they struck like a lightning. It was with light, yet surefooted, elegance that you led your Pokémon. Even I felt bedazzled by your masterful performance! You now stand at the glorious peak of the Pokémon League. I now proclaim you to be the new Hoenn region... ...[[player character|<name>]]! No, let me rephrase that properly. The new Champion! come with me. I'm sorry, but... From here on, only those Trainers who have become Champions may enter. You'll have to wait outside with Prof. Birch. This room... This is where we keep records of Pokémon that prevailed through harsh battles. It is here that the League Champions are honored. Come on, let's record your name as a Trainer who triumphed over the Pokémon League, and the names of the partners who battled with you."''

==In the anime==
Although Juan was the Sootopolis Gym Leader in the anime, early Japanese artwork shows that Wallace was going to be the gym leader before Emerald was made.

==In the Pokémon Special manga==
[[Image:Wallace.PNG|right|frame|Wallace]]
In [[Pokémon Special]], he is the Sootopolis Gym Leader, in addition to being a [[Pokémon Contests|contest]] master as well as the protector of the [[Cave of Origin]]. Wallace also takes {{Special|Ruby}} under his wing, much like how [[Winona]] did for {{Special|Sapphire}}. Despite having aligned himself with [[Team Aqua]], he has a strong sense of justice, and is the first of the aligned Gym Leaders to renounce his loyalty, convincing [[Winona]] of the [[Team Magma|Magmas]] to do the same.

It was revealed in {{PSV|21}} that Wallace was the Hoenn League Champion who had entered the Hall of Fame. However, he renounced the title as he expressed his wish of following his mentor, [[Juan|Juan's]], footstep of becoming a Gym Leader of his city. According to [[Steven]], what Wallace did not mention to the director of the Pokémon Association is that there is a second reason for his renouncement: He was trying to stay with [[Winona]], the Fortree Gym Leader.

He and [[Winona]] apparently had some sort of relationship in the past, speculated by most fans to have been romantic. Although it is largely unconfirmed whether [[Winona]] still has feelings for him, it is quite obvious that he still has feelings for her, based on the scene where the two say their goodbyes before they leave to fight {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}} in {{PSV|20}}.

Wallace regained the title of Champion after Steven had a premonition that he would die in the upcomming battle between Groudon and Kyogre.

Wallace usually travels on an "Air Car", which can travel on both the land and the air. He is also the only [[Hoenn]] Gym Leader who nicknamed his Pokémon.

'''Fantina''' (Japanese: '''メリッサ''' ''Melissa'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Hearthome City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Hearthome Gym]]. She hands out the [[Badge#Relic Badge|Relic Badge]] to [[Pokémon trainer|trainers]] who defeat her. She specializes in {{t|Ghost}}-type [[Pokémon]]. She is apparently not from the country the games are set in, and often peppers her speech with phrases of French.

Her dress shares many elements as the design of the first [[Pokémon]] on her [[party]], {{p|Drifblim}}: it has a yellow "X" over a puffed out skirt of striped purple fabric.

=In the anime=

==Pokémon==

=In the games=
Fantina uses {{t|Ghost}}-type Pokémon in her battles. For defeating her, trainers receive the [[Badge#Relic Badge|Relic Badge]], [[TM65]] {{m|Shadow Claw}} and are able to use {{m|Surf}} outside of battle. She considers herself to be a Contest Expert and refuses to let the hero challenge her until they have four badges. Fantina speaks French and is an immigrant from another country. Upon arriving in Sinnoh, she decided to become a performer, so she dresses up in fancy outfits for Pokémon Contests. She also studied Pokémon and eventually attained the title of Gym Leader.

Fantina can occasionally be competed against in [[Pokémon Super Contest|Super Contests]], in which she uses her {{p|Drifblim}}.

==Quotes==
In front of the Contest Hall at player's first visit to Hearthome City 
''Oh, I'm so sorry! Please excuse me. Are you entering a Contest? Tehehe... Enjoy yourself, please! Incidentally, Fantina, the Hearthome Gym Leader, also happens to be a Contest expert. And you may ask yourself, how do I know this? Well, I am Fantina! You may challenge me, but not yet! You must become much stronger. Then, you may challenge me!''

Before Battle 
''"Ohohoho!! Finally, you have arrived! Since I came to this country, always I try to learn new things. They hold Contests in this city? I say to myself, {{tt|enfin|finally}}, I will excel. That's why I dress this way. {{tt|C'est une performance!|It is a performance!}} Also I study Pokémon very much. I have come to be Gym Leader. And, uh, so it shall be that you challenge me. But I shall win. That's what a Gym Leader does, {{tt|non|no}}?"''

After sending out last Pokemon 
''"Oh, heavens. What is this? Is this my final Pokémon?"''

When defeated 
''"You are so fantastically strong. I know now why I have lost."''

After being defeated 
''"I am dumbfounded! So very, very strong! You, Your Pokémon, so strong! Your power is admirable! I shall honor it with this Gym Badge!"''

Having a weakness to Psychic also makes it extremely easy to defeat a Poison-type in one turn. The Poison type's only useful resistances are to Fighting and, at times, Bug.

Offensively, the Poison type isn't much better. It is only super effective against one type, Grass, many of which (in fact, all [[:Category:Generation I Pokémon|Generation I]] Grass-types but {{p|Tangela}}) are half Poison which makes it do damage as if it were a Pokémon of a type that Poison neither weakens or does weakly against. On the other hand, it is resisted by Ground, Rock, and Ghost and completely ineffective against Steel. The only advantage of Poison type moves is that many of them may poison the opponent, unless the foe is also Poison-type, in which case it will not be able to be poisoned.

'''Byron''' (Japanese: '''トウガン''' ''Tougan'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Canalave City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Canalave Gym]]. He hands out the [[Badge#Mine Badge|Mine Badge]] to [[Pokémon trainer|trainers]] who defeat him. He specializes in {{t|Steel}}-type [[Pokémon]].

=In the anime=

==Pokémon==

=In the games=
Byron uses {{t|Steel}}-type Pokémon in his battles. Trainers who defeat him will receive the [[Badge#Mine Badge|Mine Badge]], [[TM91]] {{m|Flash Cannon}}, and will be able to use {{m|Strength}} outside of battle. Byron asked [[Riley]] to become a Gym Leader, but Riley declined because he though Byron's son Roark should be considered first. Byron isn't surprised to find his inexperienced son lost to the protagonist, but is enthusiastic about the next generation of Pokémon trainers. Byron resolves to train harder at [[Iron Island]] to compete with younger trainers.

He apparently owns the normally deserted cabin on Iron Island. After the Elite Four, he can be found there. Speaking to him results in him chiding himself for still treating Roark like a child, then he'll give the player a Metal Coat and leave.
