Dr. Kaminko (Japanese: カミンコ博士 Dr. Kaminko) is a eccentric scientist who lives in his run-down mansion in the region of Orre in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness. He specializes in Pokémon-related inventions, the most important of which being the Robo Kyogre that takes the player to Citadark Isle. His other inventions are somewhat pointless, if not detrimental, although his eager assistant, Chobin, idolizes them. Dr. Kaminko's House is foreboding from the outside, a reflection of his lack of concern for his surroundings. His work room is rather cluttered and Dr. Kaminko's Lab is isolated from the rest of Orre.

When he focuses on his inventions, he becomes oblivious to those around him. Dr. Kaminko seems to prefer working alone with his ideas, as his only aide, Chobin is never seen actually assisting Dr. Kaminko in his inventing. In fact, during the development of Robo Groudon, he was locked out.

His house also contains Jovi's Diary which expresses the thoughts of Jovi throughout the game. Her diary also hints about a secret room in the Pokémon HQ Lab, possibly the one where the Master Ball is stored.

Dr. Kaminko's inventions have been marketed throughout Orre, with limited success due to their unpractical nature. Those that have bought his inventions did so without knowledge of what the invention did, or rather, didn't do. One man in Agate Village wears one of his inventions and was told they were a great invention. He presumed that that meant they would have a great benefit to his health. A man in the shop at Pyrite Town bought another one of his inventions and believes he has been conned.

Makan is often at Dr. Kaminko's house and became friends with him a long time ago. On the other hand, upon meeting Beluh if the player does not reveal who they are, Beluh will presume the player is here to market one of his inventions and asks him/her to leave, indicating that Dr. Kaminko and his inventions are not popular in the wider community.

Most of his inventions seem to be detrimental. Rather than him having plans regarding the use of his inventions, it is more likely that Dr. Kaminko does not care what happens to his inventions after they have been completed.
