Poké Kid (Trainer class): Difference between revisions

A '''Poké Kid''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンごっこ''' ''Make-believe Pokémon'') is a type of [[Pokémon Trainer]] that first debuted in the [[Generation IV]] games. They are little girls that are possibly the children of male {{tc|Pokéfan}}s who are often depicted holding one in a {{p|Pikachu}} [[Pokémon Cosplay|costumes]].  Outside of battle they appear to be just an ordinary Pikachu; this is used to mess with the player on multiple occasions, including a Poké Kid hidden amongst several regular Pikachu.

A Poké Kid makes a cameo while the main characters visit [[Veilstone City]]. She first appears in ''[[PS356|Magnificent Meditite & Really Riolu I]]''. Her friend was supposed to challenge [[Maylene]] but she mixed the Poké Kid and her friends with the three main characters, due to the main characters possessing [[In-battle effect item#Wide Lens|an item that made landing attacks easier]] she had heard the kids talking about. She, together with her friends, is seen entering the [[Battle Frontier (Generation IV)|Battle Frontier]] in ''[[PS418|VS Porygon-Z]]''.

*Poké Kid Ariel says "Pi-Pikachu!" before battle. [[Ash's Pikachu]] says the same after many of Ash's various victories (winning a Badge, catching a Pokémon, and so on).

*The Poké Kid bears some resemblance to the concept of {{DL|ROM hacks|Moemon}}, a hacked game where Pokémon are turned into {{wp|ginjika}}.
