Don George | Don George debuted in ''[[BW004|The Battle Club and Tepig's Choice!]]'' when {{Ash}} and {{an|Iris}} decided to visit the [[Battle Club]] in [[Accumula Town]]. As the Battle Club's manager, he recommended to Ash that he battle a [[Pokémon Trainer]]. As well as being the manager, he also acts as the referee in all matches that take place at the club. However while acting as judge of the battle between Ash and the Trainer the alarms suddenly went off causing him, Ash and Iris to investigate. They watch the security footage and find {{TRT}} are the culprits. Soon, they suddenly see a mysterious Pokémon who they think is an {{p|Umbreon}}. | ||
He and his assistants tried to track down Umbreon, and he suddenly spotted it and they ran after it. They tracked it down and cornered it, and Don George and his students began to cry at the thought of owning a Pokémon that is not normally found in Unova. When it was revealed to be {{MTR}}, Don George was initially disappointed until he realized that a talking Meowth was even rarer. Back at the club, Ash realized that the culprit was actually a {{AP|Tepig}}. Don George recognized Tepig as one that had been abandoned by its Trainer when it lost a battle against a {{p|Deerling}} and then ran off when Don George tried to release it from the rope that it had been tied to a post with. Later, he allowed Ash to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} Tepig. | |||
When | |||
When visiting the Battle Club located in [[Luxuria Town]], Ash encountered Don George again, but was confused when he did not remember him. Don George explained to a confused Ash and Iris that there were many Battle Clubs scattered across [[Unova]] and each one is headed by a Don George, who are all members of an identical and extended family (like [[Nurse Joy]], [[Officer Jenny]], and [[Porter]]). Don Georges are distinguished by the color of their collar, sash, and armbands, which differs from location to location (similar to Nurse Joy's cross, Officer Jenny's cap symbol, and Porter's jacket and shoe lining). Later, he acted as referee during Ash and [[Trip]]'s five-on-five battle. | |||

In ''[[BW015|The Battle According to Lenora!]]'' and ''[[BW016|Rematch at the Nacrene Gym!]]'', he helped Ash train for his rematch against [[Lenora]]. With his help, he was able to get Ash's {{AP|Oshawott}} and Tepig to learn {{m|Aqua Jet}} and {{m|Flame Charge}}, respectively. | ||

==Trivia== | |||
[[File:BW anime.png|thumb|250px|An early design of Don George]] | |||
* Concept art of ''[[BW004|The Battle Club and Tepig's Choice!]]'' depicted Don George wearing a T-shirt and with a slightly different face. | |||
* Each Don George can be told apart by the color of their belts, cuffs, and the neck linings on their outfits. | |||
* Don George, [[Nurse Joy]], and [[Officer Jenny]] all have Japanese names that begin with the kana ジ, while their English names, surname in Don George's case, all start with the same sound, {{wp|dʒ}}. They also all happen to be part of a large, extended family of lookalike relatives. | |||
** However, Don George is the first male character to belong to such a family. | |||
* In the Japanese version, almost all of Don George's sentences contain the expression "たりする (tari suru)" (usually at the end), which, in context, roughly translates to "<subject> happens to…". | |||
