Kimono Girls are also seen in the {{Gdis|Battle Tower|II}} as random opponents, and some appear in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]].
In Pokémon Crystal only, Kimono Girls Saito and Arita can appear in the {{Gdis|Battle Tower|II}} as random opponents.


In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the Kimono Girls' roles are expanded, and they are met outside the dance theater as well: Zuki is met in [[Violet City]] after the {{player}} has retrieved the [[Pokémon Egg]] from one of [[Professor Elm]]'s [[Professors' aides|aides]]; Naoko is found being lost in [[Ilex Forest]]; Miki is being harassed by a {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} in the dance theater in Ecruteak; Kuni is met in the [[Goldenrod Tunnel]] during the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]] incident; and Sayo needs to be freed from being stuck on ice in the [[Ice Path]].

After the played has earned all eight [[Johto]] [[Badge]]s and obtained the [[Master Ball]] from Professor Elm, the player travels to Ecruteak City and battles the five Kimono Girl consecutively in order to obtain the [[Clear Bell]]{{sup/4|HG}}/[[Tidal Bell]]{{sup/4|SS}}. Zuki also tells the player that {{p|Ho-Oh}}{{sup/4|HG}}/{{p|Lugia}}{{sup/4|SS}} is to be awakened and then controlled. The Kimono Girls then travel to the [[Bell Tower]]{{sup/4|HG}}/[[Whirl Islands]]{{sup/4|SS}}, where they will perform a dance that summons Ho-Oh{{sup/4|HG}}/Lugia{{sup/4|SS}} there.

While being faced at the Dance Theater, the Kimono Girls also reveal several things that they did behind the scenes: Zuki handed the [[Mystery Egg]] to [[Mr. Pokémon]]; Naoko witnessed the player defeating [[Team Rocket]] at the [[Slowpoke Well]]; Sayo watched as the player passed the {{OBP|Master|Dragon Tamer clan|Elder}}'s test at the [[Dragon's Den]]; and Kuni saw the player taking down Team Rocket once and for all at the Radio Tower.

The Kimono Girls were called the ''Kimono Sisters'' in the [[original series]]. The dub retained their original Japanese names instead of using their localized English names.

In ''[[EP183|Trouble's Brewing]]'', after {{Ash}} [[Ecruteak Gym]] victory, the gang bumped into [[Sakura]], who took them to the tea ceremony her sisters were running after {{an|Misty}} inquired about a nearby advertising poster. Sumomo was the first sister the group met, greeting them formally. Tamao was seen next, demonstrating {{wp|ikebana}} to a small audience. Later, they passed by the lone Koume playing her {{wp|shamisen}}. Finally, they were treated to a quiet display of the art of {{wp|Japanese tea ceremony|tea making and drinking}} by Satsuki. Needless to say, Brock was entranced by them all and grew frightened when they were all together and called him out on his praise.

The sisters are skilled {{pkmn|Trainer}}s as well as tradition keepers. Upon proposing a challenge to the trio to battle for Sakura to join them, Sumomo and Satsuki both displayed their {{p|Vaporeon}}'s and {{p|Jolteon}}'s abilities against [[Misty's Poliwhirl]] and [[Ash's Pikachu]] respectively. Vaporeon defeated Poliwhirl and Pikachu won against Jolteon, but the latter only after {{TRT}}'s interruption.

When Sakura changed her mind about leaving at that time, Satsuki admitted that she and the other three weren't against Sakura leaving to begin her journey, only that they wanted her to not be dependent on others if she finally did.

Gold spent his time watching them perform, which annoyed the [[Radio Director]] of {{ci|Goldenrod}}. However, Gold revealed that he was actually allowing time for [[Aibo]] to train, who was trying to learn {{m|Double Hit}}. When he finally did, Aibo evolved into {{p|Ambipom}}, winning the praise of the Kimono Girls. In ''[[PS460|All About Arceus IX]]'', they had added a {{p|Leafeon}} and a {{p|Glaceon}} to their team.
