→‎In the games: Nintendo's Game Boy titles page didn't have Yellow in June 1998 so I doubt Game Freak was talking about it in September 1997, especially since Gold and Silver had not been delayed yet.
(→‎Sprites: See trivia section of Goldenrod's article.)

A Pokémon Center Nurse operates every Pokémon Center in the [[Pokémon games]], usually standing behind the counter and beside a machine which is able to heal the [[player]]'s Pokémon to full health. The nurses are not known to be named and there is no evidence to support that they are related, unlike their [[Nurse Joy|anime counterpart]]. Since many characters in-game feature the same overworld sprites (the nurses included) it is impossible to tell whether or not these nurses all look the same.

In {{game|Yellow}}, the Nurse appears under a different overworld sprite. She is more similar to the {{pkmn|anime}}'s Joy than in other Generation I games, and is even accompanied by {{p|Chansey}} in every center. Furthermore, an [http://web.archive.org/web/19971016215515/http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/POKEMON/NEWS/NEWS.HTM old news page] from [[Game Freak]] on Pokémon Yellow suggests that her name is Joy (ジョーイ)—the same as in the anime. This seems to apply only to Yellow, as many aspects of Yellow are based on the anime.

In [[Generation II]], the Nurse in [[Fuchsia City]] has green hair. Interestingly, there are multiple green-haired nurses on the second floor of all Generation II Pokémon Centers.
In [[Generation II]], the Nurse in [[Fuchsia City]] has green hair. The second-floor attendants are also green-haired. The attendant on the [[Pokémon Communication Center]]'s Trade Corner in [[Goldenrod City]] in {{game|Crystal}} is instead blue-haired; she also gives the player the [[GS Ball]] after being distributed in an event (in the localizations, she is unused, and appears climbing down the stairs of the second floor when calling the player to give them the GS Ball).


A nurse named [[Teala]] appears in every Pokémon Center of [[Generation III]] (second floor) and [[Generation IV]] (basement), usually giving information about Wireless Communication to the player. She manages the items the player obtains through [[Mystery Gift]] in Generation III.
