- If you were looking for the unchangeable values that are used in the calculation of an individual Pokémon's stats that are sometimes referred to as genes, see individual values.
Gene (Japanese: ゲンゾウ Genzō) is the Club Master of the Rock Club (Japanese: ストーンクラブ Stone Club). He plays using the Rock Crusher Deck (Japanese: がんせきおとしデッキ Rock Tumble Deck) and gives away the Rock Medal to challengers who defeat him. In Template:Card GB 2, he uses the いわのうえにも３ねんデッキ Even 3 Years on a Rock Deck.
He admires Rock-type Pokémon for being hard and strong. He believes that they won't crumble under pressure. He calls weaklings "softies".
The Rock Club appears to be filled with sand and stone statues.
In Pokémon Card GB
He gives out two Mystery booster packs and a Rock Medal if the player defeats him.

Trivia
- Gene's deck in GB2, いわのうえにも３ねんデッキ Even 3 Years on a Rock Deck, is a reference to a Japanese proverb; even a rock could be warmed if one sat on it for three years. The proverb is meant to teach the value of perseverance.
- Gene has a strikingly similar appearance to Professor Oak. It is unknown, however, if the two are related.
