In Generation II, to accommodate greater linkup functionality, the Pokémon Centers of both [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] expanded to two floors. On the first floor remained the counter where a nurse would heal Pokémon, as well as a PC, while on the second floor resided the Cable Club. | In Generation II, to accommodate greater linkup functionality, the Pokémon Centers of both [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] expanded to two floors.

Similar to the Cable Club in Johto, the [[Hoenn]] Cable Club's Pokémon Center has a Cable Club Colosseum and a Cable Club Trade Center. Now four players can link with a third generation {{wp|Game Link Cable}} to battle in a [[double battle]]. A new feature was added to the Cable Club called the Cable Club Record Center, which allows two to four trainers to swap data. Similar to the Pokémon News in Crystal version, swapped trainer data shows up on [[television]] shows on televisions found all across Hoenn. Also, Trainers' [[secret base]]s are copied over in the record mixing. | Similar to the Cable Club in Johto, the [[Hoenn]] Cable Club's Pokémon Center has a Cable Club Colosseum and a Cable Club Trade Center.

In the {{pkmn|anime}}, a [[Nurse Joy]] heads each Pokémon Center. The healing process takes place in real time, unlike in the games, so Ash and his friends often have to wait until his Pokémon are fully healed. 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 considered an important service, as shown in ''[[SS013|Celebi and Joy]]'' where, in the past, the town residents built a Pokémon Center as a community project. | In the {{pkmn|anime}}, a [[Nurse Joy]] heads each Pokémon Center.

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. As a [[Pokémon journey]] can take a long time, Centers can be used as mailing destinations. A Trainer can arrange for their loved ones to send them packages, typically to the next Center they're traveling to. 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. | Pokémon Centers are designed for Trainers so they can rest between {{pkmn|training|activities}}.

[[ | [[File:Pokemon Center BW002.png|thumb|200px|right|Another Pokémon Center in the [[Unova]] region]] A lobby may also have a large widescreen TV or several smaller TVs so Trainers can watch typically Pokémon-oriented shows, such as ''[[Sinnoh Now]]'', [[Pokémon Contest]] broadcasts, and major competitions like the [[Pokémon League]]s of each region and the [[Grand Festival]]. A typical sleeping room has a desk and chair and two sets of bunk beds to maximize space, and girls do not have to sleep in separate rooms from boys. At least one Center was shown in ''[[DP133|Uncrushing Defeat!]]'' to have a small library with a computer (presumably connected to some kind of internet), as an information room. 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. | ||
