Pokémon Center lady: Difference between revisions

The Nurses are operators of Pokémon Centers in the games. They had all been unnamed before a nurse named Casey appeared in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. However, it remains unknown if this name applies to any other nurse in the games, let alone all of them.

In the games

A Nurse operates every Pokémon Center in Pokémon games. Unlike their anime counterpart, there is no evidence to support that the in-game nurses are related. As many characters in-game feature the same over-world sprites (the nurses included) it is impossible to tell whether or not these nurses all look the same. One may assume that the anime counterparts ("Nurse Joy")all being identical is simply a joke about how many characters feature the same appearence in the games. In Pokémon Yellow, the Nurse appears under a different overworld sprite. She is more similar to the anime's Joy than in any other game, and is even accompanied by Chansey in every center. Furthermore, an old news page from Game Freak on Pokémon Yellow suggests that her name is Joy (ジョーイ) - the same as in the anime. However, it seems to apply only to Yellow.

In Generation II, the Nurse in Fuchsia City has green hair. It is unknown if this has any significance. Interestingly, in the second floor of all Generation II Pokémon Centers are multiple green-haired nurses.

In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, a nurse participates in Super Contests with a Chansey nicknamed Pinky. The nurse herself is named Casey; however, it is unknown (and unlikely) if all nurses in the game are so named.

Aside from the nurse in the first floor, there is also a different one in every Center. Her name is Teala and she can be found in the second floor in Generation III and in the basement in Generation IV.

In the TCG

In Expedition Base Set there is a Supporter card called Pokémon Nurse. The art on this card slightly resembles Joy from the anime, but has blue hair. The nurse appearing on the card also seems to have been based on the game's nurse, since the TCG is based on the games, rather than anime.

Trivia

• The official Ken Sugimori's artwork of Nurse was revealed long ago on Game Freak Webpage. Later, the Nurse got a completely different artwork in the TCG.
