'''Janine''' (Japanese: '''アンズ''' ''Anzu'') is a [[Gym Leader]] in the [[Indigo League|Kanto League]]. She is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Fuchsia City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Fuchsia Gym]], after her father, [[Koga]], is promoted to the [[Elite Four]] in [[Generation II]]. She specializes in {{type|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. She gives the {{Badge|Soul}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her.

She became a Gym Leader after her father, [[Koga]], was promoted to the [[Elite Four]] in [[Generation II]]. She [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. She gives the {{Badge|Soul}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her in {{pkmn|battle}}.
 
==Terminology==
In the English version of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, her name is mistakenly listed as '''Charine''' in one of Koga's [[Fame Checker]] entries.


==In the games==
In the Japanese, French, German, and Spanish versions of FireRed and LeafGreen, she is correctly referred to using Janine's name in each language. However, in the Italian version, she is known as "Carine", based on English "Charine", instead of her Italian name "Nina".
 
==In the core series games==
Janine's first appearance was in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}. Following [[Koga]]'s promotion to the [[Elite Four]], she succeeded him as the [[Gym Leader]] of the [[Fuchsia Gym]]. Like her father, she is known as "The Poisonous Ninja Master", and uses {{type|Poison}} Pokémon in battle. She appears in the same capacity in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.

Originally, Janine's goal was to use {{type|Poison}} Pokémon just as well as her father. After becoming a Gym Leader, Janine hopes that by applying herself, she'll improve her skills and become better than her father, and (following her loss) the {{player|protagonist}}.
Originally, Janine's goal was to use {{type|Poison}} Pokémon just as well as her father. After becoming a Gym Leader, Janine hopes that by applying herself, she'll improve her skills and become better than both her father and (following her loss) the {{player|protagonist}}.


When encountered in her Gym, Janine hides behind the invisible walls that were installed prior to [[Generation I]]/{{Gen|III}}. To further confuse her challengers, the junior Trainers of the Gym are disguised like Janine. Once they have been defeated, the Leader will battle with a team of Poison-type Pokémon. Once defeated, she will yield the {{Badge|Soul}} and a Poison-type [[TM]]: {{TM|06|Toxic}} in Generation II; {{TM|84|Poison Jab}} in Generation IV.

Like the other Gym Leaders of Kanto and Johto, Janine will leave her Gym from time to time in HeartGold and SoulSilver. Every evening between 4:00 PM and 6:00 PM, she can be found at the [[Pokémon League Reception Gate]] near {{ka|Victory Road}}, on her way to visit her father and deliver his lunch (from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM, she will say she is done delivering the lunch and offer to take a [[photograph]] with the player). She will give travelers her phone number, after which she can be called on Monday afternoons to arrange a rematch at [[Saffron City]]'s [[Fighting Dojo]]. On Mondays, she can be found in the [[Celadon Department Store]] arguing with [[Falkner]] over which of their fathers is the superior Trainer.

Before the events that led to her employment as the Gym Leader, Janine hung around outside the Fuchsia Zoo. She will tell the protagonist of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} that Koga is teaching her how to use Poison Pokémon in an obvious reference to the previously released Generation II games.
Before the events that led to her employment as the Gym Leader, Janine could be seen outside the Fuchsia Zoo. In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, she can be found there after the player enters the [[Hall of Fame]]. She tells the player that Koga is teaching her how to use Poison Pokémon, in a [[List of cross-generational references|reference]] to the previously released Generation II games.


Janine also appears in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]'s Kanto [[Gym Leader Castle]]. This is the only time in which her active team contains Pokémon not of the Poison-type.
In {{B2W2}}, Janine appears alongside the other Gym Leaders of [[Kanto]] as an opponent in the [[Kanto Leaders Tournament]] at the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]. She also participates alongside the Gym Leaders of Kanto, [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], and [[Unova]] in the [[World Leaders Tournament]], and other Poison-type experts in the Poison [[Type Expert Tournament]].

===[[Pokémon Stadium 2]]===
Janine appears in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]'s Kanto [[Gym Leader Castle]]. This is the only time in which her active team contains Pokémon not of the Poison-type. Despite this, all her Pokémon in Round 1 know {{m|Toxic}}, a {{type|Poison}} move and the [[TM]] she gives in the Generation II games. Her strategy revolves around inflicting as many status ailments on the opponent as possible to keep them immobilized as {{status|poison}} gradually saps away their [[HP]].
 
During the game's end credits, Janine is seen having a battle with her father [[Koga]] at the [[Fuchsia Gym]].

Janine is the daughter of [[Koga]], and the new Gym Leader at [[Fuchsia City]]. She does, however, leave town on many occasions to perform various jobs/simulations for anyone with the money to hire her. She was shown in ''[[PS136|Crossing Crobat]]'' to be in the middle of such a job, pretending to steal a large pearl to test the security at the {{ci|Goldenrod}} Museum. After completing it, she pauses on a rooftop to wonder what she is doing with her life.
===={{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}====
Janine debuted in ''[[PS136|Crossing Crobat]]''. She was first seen on a mission where she helped test the security of {{ci|Goldenrod}} Museum by pretending to steal a [[Big Pearl]]. After completing the mission, Janine left to ponder what she was doing with her life. Her father, [[Koga]], had served under {{adv|Giovanni}} as both a ninja and a member of [[Team Rocket]]. Koga had intended on having Janine join Team Rocket as well when proper time came, but he eventually disappeared after Team Rocket's defeat, leaving Janine alone without anyone to guide her.


Her father, being both a ninja and a member of [[Team Rocket]], had hoped to make her a member as well, both serving their master, [[Giovanni]]. But with Koga and Giovanni's disappearance, she was left alone and unguided. Searching for not just her father, but a master, Janine found herself in the same situation as {{p|Suicune}}, whom also was searching for a Trainer in its upcoming battle.
Shortly after, Janine was attacked by {{DL|Legendary beasts (Adventures)|Suicune}}, the [[Legendary Pokémon]] that had been attacking various other Gym Leaders around [[Johto]]. Hoping that if she managed to capture it, her father would hear about it and return, Janine faced Suicune in battle. Though she proved to be a powerful opponent with her variety of ninja techniques, Janine was eventually defeated by Suicune. As Suicune began to leave, Janine realized the reason it was challenging the Gym Leaders was to find a proper Trainer who could command in battle. Finding herself to be in a similar situation of not having a master, Janine told Suicune she wished to challenge it again in the future before both went their separate ways.


Suddenly, Suicune appeared before Janine, and challenged her with her Crobat. Suicune seemed initially caught off-guard by her tactics, but soon won. Before he left, Janine expressed her desires for finding her own master, just as she felt Suicune was.
In ''[[PS154|Yikes, It's Yanma!]]'', Janine participated in an exhibition tournament between the [[Kanto]] and Johto Gym Leaders. During the tournament, she was paired up against [[Falkner]]. In ''[[PS156|Notorious Noctowl]]'', Janine and Falkner began their battle against each other. While both participants used a variety of skills against each other, Janine chose to forfeit the battle in order to pursue what she thought she was her father in the crowd.


Janine later fought against [[Falkner]] at the Gym Leaders Challenge. Despite overwhelming attacks, she forfeited the match when she left the battlefield, pursuing who she thought was her father. She never did catch the mysterious person, however, and it is unknown if they will ever meet again.
In ''[[PS165|Lugia and Ho-Oh on the Loose, Part 1]]'', Janine joined the Kanto and Johto Gym Leaders in helping fend off the [[Masked Man]]'s army of mind-controlled {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s from attacking the [[Indigo Plateau]]. As they fought, Janine and the Gym Leaders were led onto the [[Magnet Train]], which the Grunts had used to infiltrate the area. After they got on, the Magnet Train sped away from the area as part of the Masked Man's plot to prevent the Gym Leaders from interfering with his plans. In ''[[PS175|The Last Battle IX]]'', the Magnet Train was stopped by {{adv|Red}}, preventing it from crashing.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* In the English versions of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, her name is mistakenly listed as '''Charine''' in Koga's [[Fame Checker]] entries.
* In {{5v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Janine's Pokémon are the lowest leveled of all the [[Kanto]] [[Gym Leader]]s. This may reflect her status as the newest Gym Leader.
* In {{5v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Janine's Pokémon are the lowest leveled of all the Kanto Gym Leaders. This may reflect her status as the newest Gym Leader.

* In the [[Generation II]] games, Janine's whole [[Party|team]] is the opposite [[gender]] to her, despite the 50-50 gender ratio. This was changed in HeartGold and SoulSilver, in which she has an all-female team rather than an all male team like before.
* Chuang Yi mistakenly refers to her by her Japanese name, '''Anzu''', rather than her English name, in {{PAV|11}} of Pokémon Adventures. This was corrected in following volumes.

* In the English versions of the Generation II games, there is a grammatical error in the sentence where she gives the Soul Badge to the player. This was corrected in the remakes.
* In the English versions of the Generation II games, there is a grammatical error in the sentence where she gives the Soul Badge to the player. This was corrected in the remakes.
* Both Janine and [[Roxie]] have known fathers in the series. Unlike Roxie's father, [[Koga|Janine's father]] was also a {{type|Poison}} Gym Leader.
* Janine, along with [[Erika]], are the only Kanto Gym Leaders to give the player a TM upon their defeat in Gold, Silver, and Crystal.
* Janine is the only Gym Leader that has not appeared in the anime, not counting {{ga|Blue}}, who has an anime counterpart in {{Gary}}.

The Crobat she uses in the [[Type Expert Tournament/Poison|Type Expert]] and [[World Leaders Tournament/Kanto|World Leaders Tournaments]] knows {{m|Hypnosis}} and {{m|Brave Bird}}, both of which it can learn by [[breeding]], but not simultaneously, as there is no Pokémon in the same [[Egg Group]] as Crobat that can learn both of these moves.
** She is also the only Gym Leader to have debuted in a different [[generation]] than their Gym.

Janine (Japanese: アンズ Anzu) is the Gym Leader of Fuchsia City's Gym, known officially as the Fuchsia Gym. She became a Gym Leader after her father, Koga, was promoted to the Elite Four in Generation II. She specializes in Poison-type Pokémon. She gives the Soul Badge to Trainers who defeat her in battle.

Terminology

In the English version of Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, her name is mistakenly listed as Charine in one of Koga's Fame Checker entries.

In the Japanese, French, German, and Spanish versions of FireRed and LeafGreen, she is correctly referred to using Janine's name in each language. However, in the Italian version, she is known as "Carine", based on English "Charine", instead of her Italian name "Nina".

In the core series games

Janine's first appearance was in Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal. Following Koga's promotion to the Elite Four, she succeeded him as the Gym Leader of the Fuchsia Gym. Like her father, she is known as "The Poisonous Ninja Master", and uses Poison-type Pokémon in battle. She appears in the same capacity in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver.

Originally, Janine's goal was to use Poison-type Pokémon just as well as her father. After becoming a Gym Leader, Janine hopes that by applying herself, she'll improve her skills and become better than both her father and (following her loss) the protagonist.

When encountered in her Gym, Janine hides behind the invisible walls that were installed prior to Generation I/III. To further confuse her challengers, the junior Trainers of the Gym are disguised like Janine. Once they have been defeated, the Leader will battle with a team of Poison-type Pokémon. Once defeated, she will yield the Soul Badge and a Poison-type TM: TM06 (Toxic) in Generation II; TM84 (Poison Jab) in Generation IV.

Like the other Gym Leaders of Kanto and Johto, Janine will leave her Gym from time to time in HeartGold and SoulSilver. Every evening between 4:00 PM and 6:00 PM, she can be found at the Pokémon League Reception Gate near Victory Road, on her way to visit her father and deliver his lunch (from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM, she will say she is done delivering the lunch and offer to take a photograph with the player). She will give travelers her phone number, after which she can be called on Monday afternoons to arrange a rematch at Saffron City's Fighting Dojo. On Mondays, she can be found in the Celadon Department Store arguing with Falkner over which of their fathers is the superior Trainer.

Before the events that led to her employment as the Gym Leader, Janine could be seen outside the Fuchsia Zoo. In Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, she can be found there after the player enters the Hall of Fame. She tells the player that Koga is teaching her how to use Poison Pokémon, in a reference to the previously released Generation II games.

In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, Janine appears alongside the other Gym Leaders of Kanto as an opponent in the Kanto Leaders Tournament at the Pokémon World Tournament. She also participates alongside the Gym Leaders of Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, and Unova in the World Leaders Tournament, and other Poison-type experts in the Poison Type Expert Tournament.

Janine appears in Pokémon Stadium 2's Kanto Gym Leader Castle. This is the only time in which her active team contains Pokémon not of the Poison-type. Despite this, all her Pokémon in Round 1 know Toxic, a Poison-type move and the TM she gives in the Generation II games. Her strategy revolves around inflicting as many status ailments on the opponent as possible to keep them immobilized as poison gradually saps away their HP.

During the game's end credits, Janine is seen having a battle with her father Koga at the Fuchsia Gym.

Janine in Pokémon Adventures

Gold, Silver & Crystal arc

Janine debuted in Crossing Crobat. She was first seen on a mission where she helped test the security of Goldenrod Museum by pretending to steal a Big Pearl. After completing the mission, Janine left to ponder what she was doing with her life. Her father, Koga, had served under Giovanni as both a ninja and a member of Team Rocket. Koga had intended on having Janine join Team Rocket as well when proper time came, but he eventually disappeared after Team Rocket's defeat, leaving Janine alone without anyone to guide her.

Shortly after, Janine was attacked by Suicune, the Legendary Pokémon that had been attacking various other Gym Leaders around Johto. Hoping that if she managed to capture it, her father would hear about it and return, Janine faced Suicune in battle. Though she proved to be a powerful opponent with her variety of ninja techniques, Janine was eventually defeated by Suicune. As Suicune began to leave, Janine realized the reason it was challenging the Gym Leaders was to find a proper Trainer who could command in battle. Finding herself to be in a similar situation of not having a master, Janine told Suicune she wished to challenge it again in the future before both went their separate ways.

In Yikes, It's Yanma!, Janine participated in an exhibition tournament between the Kanto and Johto Gym Leaders. During the tournament, she was paired up against Falkner. In Notorious Noctowl, Janine and Falkner began their battle against each other. While both participants used a variety of skills against each other, Janine chose to forfeit the battle in order to pursue what she thought she was her father in the crowd.

In Lugia and Ho-Oh on the Loose, Part 1, Janine joined the Kanto and Johto Gym Leaders in helping fend off the Masked Man's army of mind-controlled Team Rocket Grunts from attacking the Indigo Plateau. As they fought, Janine and the Gym Leaders were led onto the Magnet Train, which the Grunts had used to infiltrate the area. After they got on, the Magnet Train sped away from the area as part of the Masked Man's plot to prevent the Gym Leaders from interfering with his plans. In The Last Battle IX, the Magnet Train was stopped by Red, preventing it from crashing.

Pokémon

Janine's Ariados
Ariados ♂
Ariados is Janine's first known Pokémon. He was first seen being used to help Janine break into the Goldenrod Museum. Later, he was used to battle against Falkner during the Gym Leader exhibition tournament. Using its powerful thread, it managed to bind Falkner's Noctowl, forcing him to switch for his Skarmory. By using its abdomen, Ariados can produce a thread used for defensive techniques, such as Spider Web, while the thread shot from its mouth is sharp enough to pierce even metal with enough time.

Ariados's known moves are Spider Web and String Shot* and his Ability is Insomnia.

Debut Crossing Crobat
Janine's Weezing
Weezing
Weezing is Janine's second known Pokémon. It was first used to break into the Goldenrod Museum. By using its gas, Weezing created a smokescreen that exposed the security beams, allowing Janine to easily navigate past them.

None of Weezing's moves are known.

Debut Crossing Crobat
Janine's Forretress
Forretress
Forretress is Janine's third known Pokémon. It was first used to attack a group of security guards at the Goldenrod Museum. By using Spikes as caltrops, the guards were unable to pursue Janine after she obtained the Big Pearl.

Janine's Crobat
Crobat ♂
Crobat is Janine's fourth known Pokémon. It was first used to battle against Suicune. With its speed and Double Team, Crobat and Janine made it hard for Suicune to track them. Eventually, Suicune won after using the moonlight to expose Crobat and Janine's shadows, allowing to figure out which copy was real.

Crobat's known moves are Leech Life, Double Team, and Wing Attack and his Ability is Inner Focus.

Debut Crossing Crobat
Janine's Grimer
Grimer
Grimer is Janine's fifth known Pokémon. It was first used to battle Falkner in the Gym Leader exhibition tournament. Using its Minimize, Grimer shrunk down so that Falkner's Noctowl couldn't track it, allowing to attack unnoticed. The strategy was eventually thwarted after Noctowl used Foresight to find Grimer, forcing Janine to switch it with Ariados.

Grimer's known moves are Minimize and Sludge Bomb.

Trivia

  • In Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold, and SoulSilver, Janine's Pokémon are the lowest leveled of all the Kanto Gym Leaders. This may reflect her status as the newest Gym Leader.
  • In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Janine can appear in two places at once. When she is called for a rematch on Monday during the day, she will be at the Fighting Dojo and in the Celadon Department Store, talking to Falkner.
  • In the Generation II games, Janine's whole team is the opposite gender to her, despite the 50-50 gender ratio. This was changed in HeartGold and SoulSilver, in which she has an all-female team rather than an all male team like before.
  • In the English versions of the Generation II games, there is a grammatical error in the sentence where she gives the Soul Badge to the player. This was corrected in the remakes.
  • Janine, along with Erika, are the only Kanto Gym Leaders to give the player a TM upon their defeat in Gold, Silver, and Crystal.
  • Janine is the only Gym Leader from a region where Ash has collected Badges from who has not appeared in the anime, not counting Blue, who has an anime counterpart in Gary.
    • She is also the only Gym Leader to have debuted in a different generation than their Gym.
  • Janine has an illegal Crobat in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2. The Crobat she uses in the Type Expert and World Leaders Tournaments knows Hypnosis and Brave Bird, both of which it can learn by breeding, but not simultaneously, as there is no Pokémon in the same Egg Group as Crobat that can learn both of these moves.
  • Janine and Koga are the only two Gym Leaders to have the same slogan in different generations.
  • While Janine doesn't appear and is never mentioned by name in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, Koga does mention his daughter in his pre-battle dialogue from the second rematch onward.
