==Welcome==
Welcome to [[Bulbapedia]], Pawshocker'sTrainer!

As a new user, you may wish to learn a few things that will be useful in your editing:
*For a basic overview of wiki code, see [[Help:Editing|this page]].
*Read over the {{bp|style primer}} before making your edits. It is a basic outline of Bulbapedia style. For a more in-depth set of rules, see the {{bp|manual of style}}.
*Keep an eye on the {{bp|Messages from the Editor}} on the main page, to stay informed on current events on Bulbapedia.
*The word [[Pokémon]] is spelled with a capital '''P''' and an accented '''é'''. The é can be accessed by holding Alt and typing either '''130''' or '''0233''' on a Windows computer, and by using Option + e, then e again on a Mac. Otherwise, you can easily click it in the character palette below the editbox.
*The word [[Poké Ball]] is spelled as two words. The "Poké" part is identical to the four beginning letters in "Pokémon"; "Ball" is spelled with a capital '''B'''. The spelling "Pokéball" arises frequently, but is incorrect.
*The word "you" and all forms of it should not be used on encyclopedic pages unless it is a quote from Pokémon or other media. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, not a walkthrough.
*On {{bp|talk page}}s, please {{bp|Signature policy|sign your comments}} with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>).
*The use of {{bp|link templates}} is official policy.
*If you happen to spot a vandal in the [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]] that has not been dealt with, please see {{bp|dealing with vandalism|this page}} for how to deal with it.
*A list of pages that are linked to, but have not been created, can be found at [[Special:Wantedpages|this page]]. A list of short articles that may require more information can be found {{cat|stubs|here}}, while a list of articles that need improvement can be found {{cat|articles needing improvement|here}}.
*For a future capture, release, trade, or evolution of a Pokémon belonging to a main character of the {{pkmn|anime}}, please do not create or move the page to reflect your suspicions, even if they are shared by many others. Policy here is to wait until the episode in which the event happens takes place is aired, unless there is substantial evidence for the suspicion (such as [[Brock's Happiny]] being held in his arms).
*Image uploading is done on [[Bulbagarden Archives]], a separate wiki accessible through the toolbox in the sidebar. This is done so that both Bulbapedia and [[Bulbanews]] have access to the images uploaded. To activate your account at the Archives and Bulbanews, please login there using the same username and password you use here on Bulbapedia.
*If you want to make a page about a character you made up, please create it at User:Pawshocker'sTrainer/(name), not merely (name). Bulbapedia's main namespace is reserved for ''actual, official Pokémon, items, characters, and locations''. Also, please try to make sure that subpages are not categorized by templates used within.
*Having said this, please make sure that you do contribute adequately to the main namespace. Bulbapedia is not MySpace or Facebook.

Joe did not appear in DP. He was a COTD, and that's all he will ever be. Stop now before you get blocked.--[[User:PsychicRider|'''Psychic''']][[User talk:PsychicRider|'''Rider''']]''''[[Special:Contributions/PsychicRider|'''☮''']]'' 22:28, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

Hi Psychic Rider,
Check out the picture. He is the same person. He even has the same Poke Tech school Logo on his jacket. The Anime has been know for reusing characters, this is no exception.

I'm very well aware of that. I've seen the girl that looks like [[Pietra]] in [[DP092]], and that isn't her. It looks like her but is not. That is very probable that the guy who appears in ''[[DP079|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]'' is based on Joe, but he '''isn't''' Joe. --[[User:PsychicRider|'''Psychic''']][[User talk:PsychicRider|'''Rider''']]''''[[Special:Contributions/PsychicRider|'''☮''']]'' 22:36, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

Don't forget Oscar's WC look-alike!--[[User:Kuki|Kuki]][[User talk:Kuki|Talk]] 22:37, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

:Let's not forget a [[Georgio]] lookalike in [[AG105|''Once in a Mawile'']]. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 22:40, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

Why do you say they're not the same person? They look the same. I think it's a cool way for the anime to follow up on past COTDs. Why must it be so set in stone?And I don't wanna be rude or start any conflict, I just see it differently...obviously. But if you really don't want me to state that their the same, I won't. Just somebody should draw the comparison as was done with Pietra.
Btw, I just signed up. So I'm learning 'bout how the put in all the coding an' all.
:Well, like I said, a Pietra look a like showed up again, among what Kuki and Shiningpikablu252 said. If you look at Oscar's page, it shows him with different colored hair in DP. But its still not him. Its a look a like. --[[User:PsychicRider|'''Psychic''']][[User talk:PsychicRider|'''Rider''']]''''[[Special:Contributions/PsychicRider|'''☮''']]'' 22:50, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

:Dude, sign your name with four tides <nowiki>(~~~~)</nowiki>. AND...yes, sometimes they might bring back old COTD's, but this case is different. You actually might be right, and it could be an error that made him look different. But as long as they don't look exactly alike, there's no way to tell. So why don't you just drop the idea and enjoy your stay here.--[[User:Tavisource/Custom Sprite Project|☆]][[User:Tavisource|Tavis]][[User talk:Tavisource|ource]] 22:52, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

Fine. I'll drop it. Didn't know it was such a hot topic.
Thanx for the tip 'bout signing my name.

Joe (EP009)

2008-09-28T22:29:00Z

Pawshocker'sTrainer:

'''Joe''' (Japanese: '''ジュン''' ''Jun'') is a young man who once attended a school located somewhere between [[Cerulean City]] and [[Vermilion City]] in [[Kanto]].

==In the anime==
[[Image:Joe.jpg|thumb|Joe of Pokémon Tech]]
Joe appeared as a [[character of the day]] in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]''. His Japanese voice actress is ''[[Rikako Aikawa]]'' and his English voice actress is [[Kayzie Rogers]].

{{Ash}}, [[Misty]], and [[Brock]] were lost on a forest when they happened upon Joe, who was being quizzed on facts about {{p|Pidgey}} while being forced to run on a treadmill. Ash thought he was being bullied, so he chased the older children away. Joe explained that he was a student at {{g|Tech}}, a school that teaches students how to train Pokémon. Joe is on the bottom of the beginner class and the other kids were tutoring him before Ash showed up. Apparently, Joe actually knew everything about Pidgey and its evolutions, but was pretending to be ignorant so he wouldn't have to work harder. Ash demanded to know who was responsible for the "tutoring" program, and Joe showed him a picture of a pretty young girl named [[Giselle]]. It seemed that Joe had a crush on Giselle, despite her harsh treatment.

Joe took Ash and his friends to the campus and showed them around. He explained that graduates of the school are allowed to compete in the [[Pokémon League]] without having to challenge [[Gym Leader]]s or collect [[badge]]s. As a beginner, Joe had the skills of someone with about two badges. He felt obligated to remain at Pokémon Tech because his parents paid so much to get him in. Joe then demonstrated some of the tools the school offered, such as Pokémon battle simulator that appeared to resemble the [[Pokémon games|Pokémon video games]]. Misty was annoyed by this, thinking that simulation can't make up for the real thing, and proved this by defeating Joe in a Pokémon battle, Joe using his Weepinbell and Misty using her Starmie, despite the {{type2|Water}} disadvantage on her part versus a {{type2|Grass}}.

After witnessing [[Ash's Pikachu]] defeat Giselle's {{p|Cubone}}, Joe was '''finally''' convinced that he should leave Pokémon Tech, deciding to try to collect badges instead. He and Giselle bid farewell, promising to meet again some day.

==In the Electric Tale of Pikachu manga==
He made one cameo appearance with [[Giselle]]. He's presumably traveling over [[Kanto]] with her.

==Trivia==
*Like Giselle, a trainer based on Joe appears in {{game|Yellow}}; a [[Picnicker|Junior Trainer]] with a Weepinbell is on Route 6, which, like Pokémon Tech in the Anime, is between Cerulean City and Vermilion City. He is seen talking to a [[Giselle|female Junior Trainer with a Cubone]].
