===Pokémon Black 2 and White 2===
In the Japanese and French versions of [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]], {{tc|Nursery Aide}} June admits to being a man disguised as a woman in order to be a Nursery Aide, but this dialogue is cut from the English translations. Nursery Aide June appears during the [[Season (game mechanic)|summer]] at the {{DL|Nimbasa City|Rondez-View Ferris Wheel}} if the player is male.

===Ashley in the games===
Ashley (Japanese: サトコ ''Satoko''), the cross-dressing version of {{Ash}} in the anime, is referenced in several [[core series]] games.
In the Japanese versions of [[Pokémon Crystal Version|Pokémon Crystal]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, LeafGreen]], [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Diamond, Pearl]], [[Pokémon Platinum Version|Platinum]], [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold, and SoulSilver]], this is one of the default names for the female player characters {{ga|Kris}}, {{ga|Leaf}}, {{ga|Dawn}}, or {{ga|Lyra}}. In the English versions, this name is "Jodi" for Kris and Leaf, or "Britney" for Dawn and Lyra. In most of those games except for Pokémon Crystal, Ash (Japanese: サトシ ''Satoshi'') is one of the suggested names for the male character.

Ash dressed up as Ashley when he was barred access to the [[Celadon Gym]] for insulting the perfume which the [[Gym]] was known for manufacturing.  [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} saw that he had been thrown out, and offered to help him get in the Gym with a disguise. He reluctantly agreed, and they dressed him up as a girl. As Ashley, Ash wore an orange frilly dress that had a pink ribbon in the back, a blonde wig with a pink ribbon and red high heels. They entered disguised as a family, with Ash playing the part of the daughter. He remained incognito for a while, even as {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Misty}} greeted him, but his cover was blown when {{AP|Pikachu}} recognized him. Ash tried to ignore Pikachu, but after he was hit with a {{m|Thunderbolt}}, his wig disintegrated and his identity was revealed, much to a very angry [[Erika]]'s dismay. Ash would eventually get his Gym battle with Erika anyway, without the dress. Ash reused the name Ashley in ''[[BW098|Beauties Battling for Pride and Prestige!]]''.

==Trivia==
* {{an|Brock}} has been shown to be able to identify when women are really cross-dressing men in disguise by having a peculiar lack of attraction to them. He's also able to do the opposite. A significant exception to this is Ash, who in the guise of Ashley was able to fool Brock.

* One of {{ga|Leaf}}'s default names in the original Japanese version of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, as well as one of {{ga|Kris}}'s in {{game|Crystal}}, is Satoko, Ashley's Japanese name. The English equivalent, however, is "Jodi". This default name was used again for {{ga|Dawn}} and {{ga|Lyra}}, but its English equivalent is "Britney".
