A Cameraman (Japanese: カメラマン Cameraman) is a type of Pokémon Trainer that first debuted in the Generation IV games. They are men working as television cameramen.

Cameramen are the male counterparts of Reporters. When paired with Reporters in Double Battles, they are called Interviewers. In Pokémon Sword and Shield, they appear exclusively as a part of this Trainer class, except in the Battle Tower.

They specialize in Electric-type Pokémon.
