Interviewers (Japanese: インタビュアー Interviewers) is a type of double-battling Pokémon Trainer class that first debuted in the Generation III games. The pair is made up of a Reporter and a Cameraman. In Generation IV, Reporters and Cameramen can be battled alone, while in Generation III they appear only in pairs as Interviewers.

In Generation III, "Interviewer" specifically refers to Gabby and Ty. In Generation IV it specifically refers to Roxy and Oli, who can be battled in Jubilife TV headquarters.

In Generation III they were known as Interviewer, which made it sound as though they were only a single person; however, in English versions of the Generation IV games they are correctly known as Interviewers.

Trivia

  • In Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald Versions, after Gabby and Ty are defeated, Gabby will ask the player to sum up the battle in a single word. This later shows up on TV, as part of a report broadcast region-wide.
