'''Medium''' (Japanese: '''イタコ''' ''Itako'') is a type of [[Pokémon Trainer]] that first debuted in [[Generation II]] games. They are depicted as old women with little ghosts floating around them in [[Generation II]], and as old women with a large, lit candle in each hand in [[Generation IV]]. As their Japanese name suggests, they're based on blind female shamans from northern Japan who dress in a white kimono during their training for initiation ({{wp|Itako}}). In the Japanese versions of Generation II's games, they are also shown carrying Buddhist prayer beads, which were removed in the Western versions due to Nintendo's policy on religious references. | '''Medium''' (Japanese: '''イタコ''' ''Itako'') is a type of [[Pokémon Trainer]] that first debuted in [[Generation II]] games.
