The '''Pokémon Center Nurse''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンセンターナース''' ''Pokémon Center Nurse'') is an operator of a [[Pokémon Center]]. They facilitate the restoration of Trainers' Pokémon to full health, and usually provide this basic service free of charge.


The nurses that operates the Pokémon Centers are usually not known to be named, except in the anime, in which the nurses are all named [[Nurse Joy|Joy]]. Occasionally, nurses with specific names do appear, such as [[Teala]], and a nurse named '''Casey''' (Japanese: '''メディ''' ''Medi'') who participates in {{pkmn|Super Contest}}s in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.

The nurses are not known to be named and there is no evidence to support that they are related, unlike their [[Nurse Joy|anime counterpart]]. Since many characters in-game feature the same overworld sprites (the nurses included) it is impossible to tell whether or not these nurses all look the same.

Art of a nurse in Generation I

A Pokémon Center nurse operates every Pokémon Center in the core series games, usually standing behind the counter and beside a machine which is able to heal the player's Pokémon to full health. The nurses are not known to be named and there is no evidence to support that they are related, unlike their anime counterpart.

In Pokémon Yellow, nurses appear under a different overworld sprite that resembles the anime's Joy. She is also accompanied by Chansey in every Pokémon Center.

In Generation II, the nurses have red hair, except for the one in Fuchsia City, which has green hair. The second-floor attendants are also green-haired. The attendant on the Pokémon Communication Center's Trade Corner in Goldenrod City in Pokémon Crystal is instead blue-haired; she also gives the player the GS Ball after being distributed in an event (in the localizations, she is unused, and appears climbing down the stairs of the second floor when calling the player to give them the GS Ball).

A nurse named Teala appears in every Pokémon Center second floor of Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen, and Emerald or in the basement in the Generation IV games, usually giving information about wireless communication to the player. She manages the items the player obtains through Mystery Gift in Generation III.

In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, a nurse named Casey (Japanese: メディ Medi) participates in Super Contests with a Chansey nicknamed Pinky.

In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, the player character's mother used to be a nurse, outright stated by her during a Xtransceiver conversation. She has mentioned working at Nimbasa City and is implied to have worked at Mistralton City.

In the anime, Pokémon Centers are run by the Nurse Joys (Japanese: ジョーイ Joy, referred to as ジョーイさん Joy-san by most characters).

In Pokémon Origins

A Nurse Joy from the The Electric Tale of Pikachu

In addition to Nurse Joy appearing, several generic nurses appear in The Electric Tale of Pikachu, first appearing in Clefairy Tale. Nurses appear in a wide variety of outfits, which vary from city to city.

In the TCG

A Supporter card called Pokémon Nurse appears in the Expedition Base Set. The art on this card slightly resembles Nurse Joy from the anime, but has blue hair. The nurse appearing on the card also seems to have been based on the games' nurse, since the Trading Card Game is based on the games, rather than the anime.

A second card, titled Pokémon Center Lady, was released in the Flashfire expansion, both as a regular print and a Full Art card. Both have illustrations of Pokémon Center nurses from Generation VI.

Trivia

  • When returning the player's Pokémon, the nurse ends with "We hope to see you again!", causing many jokes to be made in the fandom about her wishing harm to come to the player's Pokémon so that he or she would return.
