Pokémon Centers in the {{pkmn|anime}} are headed by a [[Nurse Joy]]. The healing process takes place in real time, unlike in the {{pkmn|games}}, so {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr}} often have to wait until their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} 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 residents of [[Marion Town]] built a Pokémon Center as a community project.

Pokémon Centers are designed for {{pkmn|Trainer}}s so they can rest between {{pkmn|training|activities}}. Trainers use Pokémon Centers as gathering places, so they can share information about Pokémon. They also have access to video phones, [[PC]]s, [[trade machine]]s, and most offer free food and lodging. As a [[Pokémon journey]] can take a long time, Pokémon Centers can be used as mailing destinations. A Trainer can arrange for their loved ones to send them packages, typically to the next Pokémon Center they are traveling to.

Inside a typical Pokémon Center, one can find a front desk, a lobby (sometimes with [[vending machine]]s), 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. A lobby may also have a large widescreen [[Television|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 Conference]] and the [[Grand Festival]] of each [[region]]. 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 Pokémon Center was shown in ''[[DP133|Uncrushing Defeat!]]'' to have a small library with a PC (presumably connected to some network akin to the {{wp|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 and battlefields where Trainers can practice.
