The Day Care Couple appear in every [[version|main series]] Pokémon game. They will (for a small fee) take up to two of a Trainer's Pokémon and raise their levels for them. This effectively allows players to train up to eight Pokémon at one time. Pokémon under their care will not [[evolution|evolve]], even if they meet the criteria. | The Day Care Couple (or one member thereof) appear in every [[version|main series]] Pokémon game.

The couple offer the player the only method of {{pkmn|breeding}} Pokémon, which has been an important aspect of the games ever since [[Generation II]]. The Day Care Man will usually stand outside to alert the Trainer if an {{pkmn|egg}} has been laid, while his wife will deal with all transactions indoors. | The couple offer the player the only method of {{pkmn|breeding}} Pokémon, which has been an important aspect of the games ever since [[Generation II]].

Some of the Day Care Couples have relatives, both named and unnamed. The Hoenn couple are known to have four grandchildren, while the Johto couple are revealed to be the grandparents of the {{player}}'s friend from [[New Bark Town]], {{ga|Kotone}}/{{ga|Gold|Hibiki}}. | Some of the Day Care Couples have relatives, both named and unnamed.

The only region in which a Day Care couple is not present is the [[Kanto]] region. Breeding was not a mechanic of the [[Generation I]] games when Kanto was introduced, so only one person, the Day Care Man, was included in the games. He and his wife have been in every game since [[Generation II]], including the {{2v2|Red|Green}} remakes {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. In these games the couple is present in the [[Sevii Islands]]; the lone Day Care man remains in the original Kanto Day Care center. | |||
