A Poké Kid (Japanese: ポケモンごっこ Make-believe Pokémon) is a type of Pokémon Trainer that debuted in the Generation IV games. They are little girls that are possibly the children of male Poké Fans who are often depicted holding one in a Pikachu costumes. Outside of battle they appear to be just an ordinary Pikachu; this is used to mess with the player on multiple occasions, including a Poké Kid hidden amongst several regular Pikachu.

Like their costumes, they use Pikachu as their Pokémon.

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

Diamond & Pearl arc

In Magnificent Meditite & Really Riolu I, a Poké Kid makes a cameo while the main characters visit Veilstone City. Her friend was supposed to challenge Maylene but she mixed the Poké Kid and her friends with the three main characters, due to the main characters possessing an item that made landing attacks easier she had heard the kids talking about.

Platinum arc

The Poké Kid from above, together with her friends, is seen entering the Battle Frontier in Deprogramming Porygon-Z.

HeartGold & SoulSilver arc

A Poké Kid was seen exploring the Safari Zone Gate with her mother in Weavile Wobbles But It Won't Fall Down.

Trivia

• In Platinum, Poké Kid Ariel can be found in these Pokémon Center locations around Sinnoh:

Sunday, Monday, Thursday: Floaroma Town

Tuesday, Friday: Solaceon Town

Wednesday, Saturday: Resort Area

• Poké Kid Ariel says "Pi-Pikachu!" before battle. Ash's Pikachu says the same after many of Ash's various victories (winning a Badge, catching a Pokémon, and so on).
• The Poké Kid bears some resemblance to the concept of Moemon, a hacked game where Pokémon are turned into gijinka.
