In the anime, Pokémon Centers are run by the Nurse Joys (Japanese: '''ジョーイ''' ''Joy'', referred to as '''ジョーイさん''' ''Joy-{{wp|Japanese honorifics#San|san}}'' by most characters).
In ''[[SM068|Real Life...Inquire Within!]]'', {{ash}} and {{ashcl}} substituted for [[Melemele Island]]'s Nurse Joy as part of a work experience program. During this, versions of the uniform intended for male operators were shown, and were worn by {{an|Kiawe}}, {{an|Sophocles}}, and (after clearing a misunderstanding) Ash as well. The male uniform appeared again in ''[[SM102|Alola, Alola!]]'', worn by {{an|Brock}} while he helped an ailing {{p|Yungoos}} as part of his {{tc|Doctor}} training.
