'''Johanna''' (Japanese: '''アヤコ''' ''Ayako'') is the [[mother]] of the [[player character]] in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. She is an accomplished [[Pokémon Coordinator]] from [[Twinleaf Town]].


Unlike previous mothers, Johanna is less content to stay at home.  After the player begins their journey, she can be found at the [[Contest Hall]] and occasionally enters [[Pokémon Super Contest|Super Contests]] with her Glameow.
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Johanna is the mother of {{an|Dawn}} and appears as a recurring character during ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''. In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] {{pkmn|manga}}, she is the mother of {{adv|Diamond}}.


=In the anime=
==In the core series games==
Johanna first appeared in ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden Voyage]]''.  She is voiced by 津村まこと ''Tsumura Makoto'' in the Japanese version.
Unlike previous mothers of player characters, Johanna is less content to stay at home. After the player begins their {{pkmn|journey}}, she can be found at the [[Contest Hall]] in [[Hearthome City]] and occasionally enters [[Rank (Contest)|Master Rank]] {{pkmn|Super Contest}}s with her {{p|Kangaskhan}}, [[nickname]]d '''Jumpy''' (Japanese: '''ガルちゃん''' ''Garu-chan'').


She used to be a great [[Pokémon coordinator]] and is a former winner of the [[Grand Festival]]. Dawn wants to follow in her footsteps and become a great coordinator as well.  When Dawn leaves, Johanna gives her one of her old [[ribbon]]s.
She is also shown to travel to the [[Resort Area]], where every so often she will visit the player's [[Villa]]. She can also be encountered in the lobby of the [[Battle Hall]], where she will be cheering in support of the player.

===History===
[[File:Johanna Younger.png|thumb|left|220px|Johanna when she was younger]]
====Pre-series====
As a young girl, she was shown participating in a Pokémon Contest in a flashback in ''[[DP095|Battling the Generation Gap!]]'' against her childhood rival, [[Lila]]. It was revealed that Lila was the first person to defeat Johanna, breaking her winning streak. However, after seeing how passionate Johanna was about Contests, she started questioning what she wanted to do. She sat down to talk to Johanna and the two decided they would pursue what they would be best at, with Johanna competing in Contests and Lila studying to become a [[Pokémon Stylist]].
====''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''====
Johanna debuted in ''[[DP001|Following A Maiden's Voyage!]]''. She told Dawn that to become a great [[Pokémon Coordinator]], she would have to learn from {{pkmn|Trainer}}s and {{tc|Pokémon Breeder|Breeders}} as well. Later, when Dawn was about to leave for her {{pkmn|journey}} with a large suitcase full of clothes and jewelry, Johanna gave her a small [[Bag|backpack]].
 
In ''[[DP070|The Bells are Singing!]]'', it was revealed that she sewed {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}}'s vest.
 
In ''[[DP125|Battling a Cute Drama!]]'', Dawn, {{Ash}}, and {{an|Brock}} received cold-weather outfits for the area surrounding [[Snowpoint City]] from her.
[[File:Johanna gown DP141.png|thumb|250px|Johanna in the Twinleaf Festival]]
Johanna appeared in ''[[DP138|Strategy Begins at Home!]]'' and met Ash and Brock in person for the first time. Together with [[Izzy and Cara]], she was planning the events of the [[Twinleaf Festival]]. She later had a [[Double Battle|two-on-two]] [[Contest Battle]] with her daughter, using her {{TP|Johanna|Glameow}} and {{p|Umbreon}} against [[Dawn's Piplup]] and {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}}. Although she won the battle with relative ease, she was impressed by Dawn's teamwork and complimented her.
 
In ''[[DP141|Challenging a Towering Figure!]]'', Johanna was the hostess for the [[Festival Battle Challenge]] which was a part of the Twinleaf Festival. She wore a gown during the occasion.
 
In ''[[DP167|Teaching the Student Teacher!]]'', Johanna was supposed to have a seminar for children, "My Very First Pokémon Coordinator Class," but she had to fill in for a [[Nurse Joy]] who was taking care of too many Pokémon as a judge in the [[Neighborly Town]] {{pkmn|Contest}}. Dawn volunteered to teach in her place. At the end of the episode, Johanna gave Dawn a new outfit to wear at the Grand Festival.
 
Johanna made brief cameo appearances from ''[[DP174|Last Call — First Round!]]'' to ''[[DP176|Coming Full-Festival Circle!]]'', in which she watched Dawn compete in the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]]. She then appeared again in person in ''[[DP177|A Grand Fight for Winning!]]'', where she joined the audience. She also made a cameo appearance in the ending credits of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.
 
When Dawn returned home in [[DPS01]], Johanna decided to have her Glameow and Umbreon battle Dawn's {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} and {{TP|Dawn|Cyndaquil}}. However, after Piplup and Cyndaquil started squabbling, the battle was stopped. She is last seen saying her farewells to {{an|Dawn}} on her journey to [[Hoenn]].
[[File:Johanna anime.png|thumb|250px|Johanna in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'']]
====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
Johanna appeared in ''[[JN074|Nightfall? Nightmares!]]'', where [[Chloe]] watched a video of her being interviewed. During the interview, Johanna took the opportunity to promote a Contest that was to be held in [[Eterna City]].
 
===Character===
[[File:Johanna and Dawn.png|left|thumb|250px|Johanna and Dawn]]
Johanna is an accomplished [[Pokémon Coordinator]], having won the [[Ribbon Cup]] and the title of [[Top Coordinator]] after winning the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]] when she was younger. Dawn grew up inspired by her achievements and decided to follow in her footsteps, wanting to become a great Coordinator as well. When Dawn left on her {{pkmn|journey}}, Johanna gave her the first {{pkmn|Contest}} [[Ribbon]] she received, which both of them carried as a good luck charm.
 
Johanna watches all of Dawn's Contests on [[television]] along with her {{TP|Johanna|Glameow}}. She also has newspaper articles about Dawn's victories and pictures of her competing in Contests and the [[Hearthome Collection]] in her living room. Although she keeps track of Dawn's journey, she doesn't like to get too involved, telling Dawn she would be better off relying on her friends and her {{cat|Dawn's Pokémon|Pokémon}} instead of her mother, and to use her losses as a learning opportunity.
 
While one might think that her skills have gotten rusty since she became a [[mother]], it turns out that she teaches a {{pkmn|Coordinator}} class out of her home, even having a battlefield behind her house for instructing her students. As a result, her skills are still as sharp as ever, as shown when she battled Dawn.

===Pokémon Adventures===
====History====
=====Prior to {{MangaArc|Diamond & Pearl}}=====
Johanna used to be a {{pkmn|Super Contest}} {{pkmn|Coordinator}} in the past. At some point in her career, she recorded a dance video.
 
====={{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}=====
Johanna made a short cameo at the end of this chapter.
 
====={{MangaArc|Diamond & Pearl}}=====
Johanna was first seen in ''[[PS351|Perturbed by Pachirisu]]'' when {{adv|Platinum}} was watching Johanna's dance video to practice for the [[Dance Competition]] of her first [[Pokémon Super Contest]].
 
She reappeared as a figment of {{adv|Diamond}}'s thoughts after the boy reminisced about the bonds that families share in ''[[PS382|Vexing Vespiquen & Unmanageable Mothim II]]''.
 
She physically debuted in ''[[PS395|Stopping Sableye]]'' when Diamond learned that she had headed to [[Lake Verity]] to gather {{Berries}} and would be in danger because of [[Team Galactic]]'s plan to blow up the lake. He went there and found her being held hostage by the {{tc|Commander}} [[Mars]]. Johanna barely managed to escape with Diamond's help as he distracted Mars and allowed his mother to run away.
 
After returning home alongside {{adv|Sebastian}} and [[Roseanne]], she realized that the jacket and shoes that she ordered for Diamond were gone, and conjured the idea to call him on the phone she left in a pocket. Soon, though, after he received her call, she heard from him that he was infiltrating their flying shuttle and would be having a showdown with Team Galactic, much to her shock. Sebastian traveled to [[Pastoria City]] with Johanna and Roseanne to inform {{adv|Pearl}} about Diamond's disappearance.
 
====={{MangaArc|Platinum}}=====
Johanna became a Super Contest Coordinator once more by the end of this chapter.

==Trivia==
[[File:Johanna Ribbon Dawn.png|thumb|220px|Johanna's Ribbon]]
* In early builds of [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]], the {{player}} was originally going to also have a father, which is further evidenced by script files leftover in their remakes, [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]].<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20231001124935/https://twitter.com/Lewchube/status/1708462187696595066</ref>
* Johanna is the first mother:
** who has a role other than being a mother.
** whose appearance in the anime is directly based on her game counterpart.
** of a player character in the core series whose name is known.
* Johanna's Japanese name in the anime was originally intended to be '''Emiko''' (エミコ), as seen in the early sketches for ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''.{{Fact}}
* In the anime, the color of Johanna's first [[Ribbon]]—the one she gave Dawn at the [[DP001|start of her journey]]—is the same color as the Ribbon Dawn [[DP027|first earned]] but it wasn't the same Ribbon.

History

Johanna when she was younger

Pre-series

As a young girl, she was shown participating in a Pokémon Contest in a flashback in Battling the Generation Gap! against her childhood rival, Lila. It was revealed that Lila was the first person to defeat Johanna, breaking her winning streak. However, after seeing how passionate Johanna was about Contests, she started questioning what she wanted to do. She sat down to talk to Johanna and the two decided they would pursue what they would be best at, with Johanna competing in Contests and Lila studying to become a Pokémon Stylist.

Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl

Johanna debuted in Following A Maiden's Voyage!. She told Dawn that to become a great Pokémon Coordinator, she would have to learn from Trainers and Breeders as well. Later, when Dawn was about to leave for her journey with a large suitcase full of clothes and jewelry, Johanna gave her a small backpack.

In The Bells are Singing!, it was revealed that she sewed Buneary's vest.

In Battling a Cute Drama!, Dawn, Ash, and Brock received cold-weather outfits for the area surrounding Snowpoint City from her.

Johanna in the Twinleaf Festival

Johanna appeared in Strategy Begins at Home! and met Ash and Brock in person for the first time. Together with Izzy and Cara, she was planning the events of the Twinleaf Festival. She later had a two-on-two Contest Battle with her daughter, using her Glameow and Umbreon against Dawn's Piplup and Pachirisu. Although she won the battle with relative ease, she was impressed by Dawn's teamwork and complimented her.

In Challenging a Towering Figure!, Johanna was the hostess for the Festival Battle Challenge which was a part of the Twinleaf Festival. She wore a gown during the occasion.

In Teaching the Student Teacher!, Johanna was supposed to have a seminar for children, "My Very First Pokémon Coordinator Class," but she had to fill in for a Nurse Joy who was taking care of too many Pokémon as a judge in the Neighborly Town Contest. Dawn volunteered to teach in her place. At the end of the episode, Johanna gave Dawn a new outfit to wear at the Grand Festival.

Johanna made brief cameo appearances from Last Call — First Round! to Coming Full-Festival Circle!, in which she watched Dawn compete in the Sinnoh Grand Festival. She then appeared again in person in A Grand Fight for Winning!, where she joined the audience. She also made a cameo appearance in the ending credits of Zoroark: Master of Illusions.

When Dawn returned home in DPS01, Johanna decided to have her Glameow and Umbreon battle Dawn's Piplup and Cyndaquil. However, after Piplup and Cyndaquil started squabbling, the battle was stopped. She is last seen saying her farewells to Dawn on her journey to Hoenn.

Character

Johanna and Dawn

Johanna is an accomplished Pokémon Coordinator, having won the Ribbon Cup and the title of Top Coordinator after winning the Sinnoh Grand Festival when she was younger. Dawn grew up inspired by her achievements and decided to follow in her footsteps, wanting to become a great Coordinator as well. When Dawn left on her journey, Johanna gave her the first Contest Ribbon she received, which both of them carried as a good luck charm.

Johanna watches all of Dawn's Contests on television along with her Glameow. She also has newspaper articles about Dawn's victories and pictures of her competing in Contests and the Hearthome Collection in her living room. Although she keeps track of Dawn's journey, she doesn't like to get too involved, telling Dawn she would be better off relying on her friends and her Pokémon instead of her mother, and to use her losses as a learning opportunity.

While one might think that her skills have gotten rusty since she became a mother, it turns out that she teaches a Coordinator class out of her home, even having a battlefield behind her house for instructing her students. As a result, her skills are still as sharp as ever, as shown when she battled Dawn.

History

Prior to Diamond & Pearl arc

Johanna used to be a Super Contest Coordinator in the past. At some point in her career, she recorded a dance video.

HeartGold & SoulSilver arc

Johanna made a short cameo at the end of this chapter.

Diamond & Pearl arc

Johanna was first seen in Perturbed by Pachirisu when Platinum was watching Johanna's dance video to practice for the Dance Competition of her first Pokémon Super Contest.

She reappeared as a figment of Diamond's thoughts after the boy reminisced about the bonds that families share in Vexing Vespiquen & Unmanageable Mothim II.

She physically debuted in Stopping Sableye when Diamond learned that she had headed to Lake Verity to gather Berries and would be in danger because of Team Galactic's plan to blow up the lake. He went there and found her being held hostage by the Commander Mars. Johanna barely managed to escape with Diamond's help as he distracted Mars and allowed his mother to run away.

After returning home alongside Sebastian and Roseanne, she realized that the jacket and shoes that she ordered for Diamond were gone, and conjured the idea to call him on the phone she left in a pocket. Soon, though, after he received her call, she heard from him that he was infiltrating their flying shuttle and would be having a showdown with Team Galactic, much to her shock. Sebastian traveled to Pastoria City with Johanna and Roseanne to inform Pearl about Diamond's disappearance.

Platinum arc

Johanna became a Super Contest Coordinator once more by the end of this chapter.

Trivia

Johanna's Ribbon
  • In early builds of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, the player was originally going to also have a father, which is further evidenced by script files leftover in their remakes, Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.[1]
  • Johanna is the first mother:
    • who has a role other than being a mother.
    • whose appearance in the anime is directly based on her game counterpart.
    • of a player character in the core series whose name is known.
  • Johanna's Japanese name in the anime was originally intended to be Emiko (エミコ), as seen in the early sketches for Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl.[citation needed]
  • In the anime, the color of Johanna's first Ribbon—the one she gave Dawn at the start of her journey—is the same color as the Ribbon Dawn first earned but it wasn't the same Ribbon.
