Reason: Needs the Generation I trainers
This article is about the Trainer class. For the glitch type, see Pokémaniac (type).

A Poké Maniac or PokéManiac (Japanese: かいじゅうマニア Monster Maniac) is a type of Pokémon Trainer that first debuted in the Generation I games. They were originally presented as strange boys with long hair in trenchcoats. In Generation III, they were changed so that they became cosplayers dressing up in beast-like costumes.

As their Japanese name implies, they tend to use Pokémon in the Monster Egg Group—such as Lairon, Lickitung and Charmander.

Notable Poké Maniacs

Bill and his father are commonly referred to as Poké Maniacs.

In Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold, and SoulSilver Versions, Kirk (known as Mania in Generation II), a Poké Maniac from Cianwood City, is well known for his arrogance. Hearing of this, Silver stole one of his two Pokémon, a Sneasel. Kirk begs the player to take Shuckie, his Shuckle, for safekeeping. Depending on how well Shuckie is treated, Kirk may or may not ask for Shuckie to be given back.

Trivia

  • In Bill's debut episode of the anime, Mystery at the Lighthouse, he is trapped inside a Kabuto costume. This could be connected to the portrayal of Poké Maniacs as cosplayers (from Generation III onwards). It could also be referencing Bill's introduction in the games.
  • Harley may be based on this Trainer class, as he has long hair and wears an outfit based on his Cacturne. His schemes sometimes involve cosplay and on one occasion he even dressed like May.
