Janine's first appearance was in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}. Following [[Koga]]'s promotion to the [[Elite Four]], she succeeded him as the [[Gym Leader]] of the [[Fuchsia Gym]]. Like her father, she is known as "The Poisonous Ninja Master", and uses {{type|Poison}} Pokémon in battle. She appears in the same capacity in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.

Like the other Gym Leaders of Kanto and Johto, Janine will leave her Gym from time to time in HeartGold and SoulSilver. Every evening between 4:00 PM and 6:00 PM, she can be found at the [[Pokémon League Reception Gate]] near {{ka|Victory Road}}, on her way to visit her father and deliver his lunch (from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM, she will say she is done delivering the lunch and offer to take a [[photography|photograph]] with the {{player}}). She will give travelers her phone number, after which she can be called on Monday afternoons to arrange a rematch at [[Saffron City]]'s [[Fighting Dojo]]. On Mondays, she can be found in the [[Celadon Department Store]] arguing with [[Falkner]] over which of their fathers is the superior Trainer.

==In the manga==

[[File:Janine Adventures.png|thumb|250px|Janine in Pokémon Adventures]]

Janine debuted in ''[[PS136|Crossing Crobat]]''. She was first seen on a mission where she helped test the security of {{ci|Goldenrod}} Museum by pretending to steal a [[Big Pearl]]. After completing the mission, Janine left to ponder what she was doing with her life. Her father, [[Koga]], had served under {{adv|Giovanni}} as both a ninja and a member of [[Team Rocket]]. Koga had intended on having Janine join Team Rocket as well when proper time came, but he eventually disappeared after Team Rocket's defeat, leaving Janine alone without anyone to guide her.

====Pokémon====

|desc={{p|Ariados}} is Janine's first known Pokémon. He was first seen being used to help Janine break into the {{ci|Goldenrod}} Museum. Later, he was used to battle against [[Falkner]] during the Gym Leader exhibition tournament. Using its powerful thread, it managed to bind Falkner's {{p|Noctowl}}, forcing him to switch for his {{p|Skarmory}}. By using its abdomen, Ariados can produce a thread used for defensive techniques, such as {{m|Spider Web}}, while the thread shot from its mouth is sharp enough to pierce even metal with enough time.

{{TrainerPoké

|desc={{p|Crobat}} is Janine's fourth known Pokémon. It was first used to battle against {{p|Suicune}}. With its speed and {{m|Double Team}}, Crobat and Janine made it hard for Suicune to track them. Eventually, Suicune won after using the moonlight to expose Crobat and Janine's shadows, allowing to figure out which copy was real.

Janine appeared as a silhouette in [[JBA5]] alongside her {{p|Ariados}} and the other Kanto Gym Leaders.

==Trivia==

* In {{5v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Janine's Pokémon are the lowest leveled of all the [[Kanto]] [[Gym Leader]]s. This may reflect her status as the newest Gym Leader.

* In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Janine can appear in two places at once. When she is called for a [[rematch]] on Monday during the day, she will be at the [[Fighting Dojo]] and in the [[Celadon Department Store]], talking to [[Falkner]].

* In the English versions of the Generation II games, there is a grammatical error in the sentence where she gives the Soul Badge to the player. This was corrected in the remakes.

* Janine, along with [[Erika]], are the only Kanto Gym Leaders to give the player a TM upon their defeat in Gold, Silver, and Crystal.

** She is also the only Gym Leader to have debuted in a different [[generation]] than their Gym.

* Janine has an [[Game move errors|illegal]] {{p|Crobat}} in {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}. The Crobat she uses in the [[Type Expert Tournament/Poison|Type Expert]] and [[World Leaders Tournament/Kanto|World Leaders Tournaments]] knows {{m|Hypnosis}} and {{m|Brave Bird}}, both of which it can learn by {{pkmn|breeding}}, but not simultaneously, as there is no Pokémon in the same [[Egg Group]] as Crobat that can learn both of these moves.
