Pokémon Center ladies made a couple of appearances during the miniseries, serving the same role as in the games. The first one was seen in [[Viridian City]] in ''[[PO01|File 1: Red]]'', while another one appeared in [[Lavender Town]] in ''[[PO02|File 2: Cubone]]''. Unlike in most other media, such as the [[core series]] games and main series anime, these nurses are different from each other, having different appearances and voices.
