2019 doesn’t look like a good year for this blog, so far...
But here’s a Pokemon Center Lady from the “Pokemon Origins” anime. To be precise, this is the Lavender Town PC Lady. In the fandom, Pokemon Center Ladies are often known as “Nurses”, but this is a sort of misnomer. The games never call them that (”Nurse Joy” is an anime thing) and it’s actually never implied that they have any kind of medical knowledge - they just operate the healing machine. Though undoubtedly their appearance has gradually became more and more nurse-like. On top of that, LGPE actually went full Joy (but interestingly, the recently released TCG card using this design is still named “Pokemon Center Lady”, rather than “Nurse Joy“, despite the design).
