Character of the Day: Falkner
- Falkner (Japanese: ハヤト Hayato) is the Gym Leader of Violet City's Gym, known officially as the Violet Gym. He hands out the Zephyr Badge to Trainers who defeat him. He specializes in Flying-type Pokémon.
- Falkner appears in Pokémon Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold, and SoulSilver, where he is the first Gym Leader players will encounter. Falkner runs the Violet Gym, which he inherited from his father; the Pokémon he uses in battle also formerly belonged to him.
- Falkner's only anime appearance was in the episode Fighting Flyer with Fire. Ash battled Falkner in a 3 on 3 battle to obtain his first badge in Johto.
- In Pokémon Adventures Falkner is also a part time police officer as he was seen at the crime scene after Silver to a Feraligatr. It was also revealed that he is not yet a Gym Leader at the beginning of the chapter but later passed the Gym Leader exam.
- Falkner has appeared on two cards both of which are from the Pokémon VS expansion deck.
- Falkner is the only Gym Leader, besides Brock in Generation I, who gives out a TM that contains a move (Mud-Slap) that is not of his Gym's specialty type.
