In the {{pkmn|anime}}, a [[Nurse Joy]] heads each Pokémon Center. The healing process takes place in real time, unlike in the games. All Pokémon Centers are connected and, in times of crisis, all Pokémon can be [[Pokémon storage system|transferred]] from one to another, as seen in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]''.

Pokémon Centers are designed for Trainers so they can rest between {{pkmn|training|activities}}. Trainers use Centers as gathering places, so they can share information about Pokémon. They also have access to video phones, PC with trading functions and most offer free food and lodging. Inside a typical Pokémon Center, one can find a front desk, a lobby (sometimes with vending machines), a [[Poké Ball]] room, an Emergency Room with plenty of beds for injured Pokémon, a recovery room, a waiting room, rooms for lodging, and a cafeteria. It is unknown how these activities performed by a Pokémon Center are financed. On the outside, they come in all shapes and sizes, but usually have a rather large ''P'' somewhere.
