The Silence Bridge Fishing Guru in Pokémon Origins

The Fishing Brothers (Japanese: つりずききょうだい Fishing Brothers), or more commonly called the Fishing Gurus (Japanese: つりめいじん Fishing Masters), are characters in Generations I, II, III, and IV who give out different types of Rods. They are all related to each other as brothers, and are spread out through Kanto and Johto. Other characters who give out Fishing Rods appear in Hoenn and Sinnoh.

In the Generation I and III games, a man known as the Fishing Guru lives in Vermilion City in the Kanto region. He gives away an Old Rod. In Generation II, he is known as the Fishing Dude and claims to be the eldest of the Fishing Brothers. He is located in the house to the left of the Pokémon Center.

Lake of Rage Fishing Guru

In the Generation II and IV games, a man known as the Fishing Guru lives at the Lake of Rage in the Johto region. His greatest dream is to see the world's largest Magikarp, and he regularly measures those brought to him in order to realize it. If the player brings him a large enough Magikarp, he will give the player an Ether as a prize.

Silence Bridge Fishing Guru

In the Generation I, II, III, and IV games, a brother of the Fishing Guru lives on Silence Bridge in the Kanto region. He gives away a Super Rod.
