===Main series===
Arti debuted in [[BW018]], he first appeared in [[Pinwheel Forest]] when {{Ash}} and {{an|Iris}} climbed the tallest tree in the forest and were surprised to find Arti in a cocoon like cloak, hanging from the tree.

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''====
Burgh debuted in ''[[BW018|Sewaddle and Burgh in Pinwheel Forest!]]''. He first appeared in [[Pinwheel Forest]] when {{Ash}} and {{an|Iris}} climbed the tallest tree in the forest, and they were surprised to find Burgh in a cocoon-like cloak, hanging from the tree. While introducing himself, a {{AP|Sewaddle}} jumped onto his shoulder. He told the trio that the Sewaddle had been accompanying him throughout the forest, even though it is not his Pokémon.
 
The next day, Burgh and the group discovered an ill {{p|Patrat}}, and he was able to heal it with some medicine. Suddenly, Sewaddle was attached to a {{p|Deerling}} and fell into a raging river along with Ash. Burgh sent out his {{p|Leavanny}}, which used {{m|String Shot}} to save them. Sewaddle's leaf on its head was damaged in the process, but Leavanny fashioned a new one for Sewaddle. Later, Burgh said his goodbyes to the group.
 
In ''[[BW022|A Venipede Stampede!]]'', Burgh and the group investigated mysterious sounds coming from the sewer system in [[Castelia City]]. They discovered an injured {{p|Venipede}} that Ash rescued from a pipe. Burgh quickly treated its wounds but wondered why it was in the sewer in the first place when Venipede traditionally live in the [[Desert Resort]] outside of the city. When the group returned to the surface, they found out that a swarm of Venipede has started wreaking havoc across the city.
 
Burgh became somewhat angry to find out that the [[Mayor of Castelia City]] planned to get rid of the Venipede by force, and protested the idea. The Mayor eventually decided to let him handle it. Burgh's idea was to find the leader of the Venipede and have [[Nurse Joy's Audino]] use {{m|Heal Pulse}} on it. He, Ash, and {{an|Iris}} eventually located the leader, only to see it being attacked by [[Trip]] and his {{p|Lampent}}. Burgh ordered him to stop and told him that he was only making things worse. Once Nurse Joy's Audino used Heal Pulse on the leader, Burgh played his Bug Flute and led the Venipede into Central Plaza for the time being. He saw Ash and his friends off, when they decided to go with [[Professor Juniper]] to investigate further at the Desert Resort.
 
Ash battled Burgh in a three-on-three match in ''[[BW023|Battling For The Love of Bug-Types!]]'', and won the {{Badge|Insect}}.
 
Burgh reappeared in flashbacks in ''[[BW069|Climbing the Tower of Success!]]'', ''[[BW074|Battling the Leaf Thieves!]]'', and ''[[BW103|Curtain Up, Unova League!]]''.
 
====[[Pokémon movie]]s====
Burgh also made a cameo appearance in the ending credits of ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''.
 
====Character====
Burgh is a frustrated genius and often in deep thought. He relishes in experiencing nature, and regularly visits [[Pinwheel Forest]] for its purity and fresh air. Burgh has adored {{t|Bug}} Pokémon since he was a child, and is well aware of their behavioral characteristics which helped him befriend a {{AP|Sewaddle}} in ''[[BW018|Sewaddle and Burgh in Pinwheel Forest!]]'' and later calm a horde of angry {{p|Venipede}} in ''[[BW022|A Venipede Stampede!]]''. He has also attempted to recreate Pinwheel Forest in the [[Castelia Gym]] to best suit his Pokémon and also balance out the chaos of urban life in [[Castelia City]]. Nature inspires his many artistic outlets including fashion design and sketching.

The next day, Arti along with Ash and {{Ashfr|his friends}} discover an ill {{p|Patrat}} and is able to heal it with some medicine. Suddenly Sewaddle is attached to a {{p|Deerling}} and falls into a raging river along with Ash. Arti sends out his {{p|Hahakomori}} which uses {{m|String Shot}} to save them. Sewaddle's leaf on its head is damaged, but Hahakomori fashions it a new one. Later he says his goodbyes to the group.

===GOTCHA!===
Burgh briefly appeared in [[GOTCHA!]].
 
==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Lenora Burgh Adventures.png|thumb|250px|Burgh in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
Burgh first appears in [[Nacrene City]] where he bumps into {{adv|Black}} while he was chasing after the stolen {{type|Dragon}} skeleton. Having come there looking for inspiration to cure his artist's block, Burgh joins Black in his search for the Fossil. Together, they find the culprits, [[Team Plasma]], and defeat them in battle to retrieve the Dragon-type Skeleton back for the Nacrene City museum. Having gotten his inspiration back, the two say their goodbyes and Burgh hopes that they will meet again in [[Castelia City]].
 
In Castelia City, Burgh is seen talking to [[Iris]] about his upcoming Gym Battle and becomes disheartened when she criticizes his most recent piece of art as not being as good as his previous ones. Later, he and Black have their Gym Battle at the Castelia Gym with Black emerging as the victor. Iris soon arrives with an unconscious girl named {{adv|Bianca}} who had her Pokémon kidnapped. Together, with Black, {{adv|White}}, and Iris, Burgh manages to find the kidnappers, Team Plasma, and force them to retreat.
 
Later, Burgh, along with his fellow Gym Leaders, appears at the [[Celestial Tower]] to discuss what to do about Team Plasma. Later, he and the other Gym Leaders battle the [[Shadow Triad]] in [[Nacrene City]] to protect the Dark Stone from being stolen. Despite their teamwork, Burgh and the other Gym Leaders are defeated by the Shadow Triad's trump card, the {{adv|forces of nature}}. Burgh, along with the other Gym Leaders, are kidnapped and taken to a dark room, where they had their memories of the kidnapping erased. When [[Caitlin]] used her psychic abilities to communicate with the Gym Leaders, she had them relay a message to Black.
 
During Team Plasma's attack on the Pokémon League, Burgh is hoisted up on a crucifix along with the other Gym Leaders so that they and the League can be mocked. Soon after, he is freed by [[Shoko]]'s {{p|Patrat}} and assists in the battle against Team Plasma.

Burgh (Japanese: アーティ Arty) is an artist who is the Gym Leader of Castelia City's Gym, known officially as the Castelia Gym. He specializes in Bug-type Pokémon. He gives the Insect Badge to Trainers who defeat him.

In the core series games

Role

Burgh appears in Pokémon Black and White as the Gym Leader of Castelia City's Gym, the third Gym to be challenged by the player. He is also an artist and apparently started his career in Nacrene City, which he often comes back to when he gets "artist's block." Trainers who defeat Burgh will receive the Insect Badge, along with TM76 (Struggle Bug). He is most known as a painter in the art world, displaying his paintings in his Gym. His gym trainers are mostly clowns.

He also reappears at N's Castle where he and the other Unova Gym Leaders hold off the Seven Sages.

In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, Burgh returns as a Gym Leader. The TM Burgh gives away remains the same. Before the Gym battle, he is seen in the Castelia Sewers after the player and Hugh defeat several Team Plasma Grunts. He comes out of the doorway leading to the Relic Passage, then returns to the Gym. He also appears in the Pokémon World Tournament.

Burgh in the anime

Pokémon the Series: Black & White

Burgh debuted in Sewaddle and Burgh in Pinwheel Forest!. He first appeared in Pinwheel Forest when Ash and Iris climbed the tallest tree in the forest, and they were surprised to find Burgh in a cocoon-like cloak, hanging from the tree. While introducing himself, a Sewaddle jumped onto his shoulder. He told the trio that the Sewaddle had been accompanying him throughout the forest, even though it is not his Pokémon.

The next day, Burgh and the group discovered an ill Patrat, and he was able to heal it with some medicine. Suddenly, Sewaddle was attached to a Deerling and fell into a raging river along with Ash. Burgh sent out his Leavanny, which used String Shot to save them. Sewaddle's leaf on its head was damaged in the process, but Leavanny fashioned a new one for Sewaddle. Later, Burgh said his goodbyes to the group.

In A Venipede Stampede!, Burgh and the group investigated mysterious sounds coming from the sewer system in Castelia City. They discovered an injured Venipede that Ash rescued from a pipe. Burgh quickly treated its wounds but wondered why it was in the sewer in the first place when Venipede traditionally live in the Desert Resort outside of the city. When the group returned to the surface, they found out that a swarm of Venipede has started wreaking havoc across the city.

Burgh became somewhat angry to find out that the Mayor of Castelia City planned to get rid of the Venipede by force, and protested the idea. The Mayor eventually decided to let him handle it. Burgh's idea was to find the leader of the Venipede and have Nurse Joy's Audino use Heal Pulse on it. He, Ash, and Iris eventually located the leader, only to see it being attacked by Trip and his Lampent. Burgh ordered him to stop and told him that he was only making things worse. Once Nurse Joy's Audino used Heal Pulse on the leader, Burgh played his Bug Flute and led the Venipede into Central Plaza for the time being. He saw Ash and his friends off, when they decided to go with Professor Juniper to investigate further at the Desert Resort.

Ash battled Burgh in a three-on-three match in Battling For The Love of Bug-Types!, and won the Insect Badge.

Burgh reappeared in flashbacks in Climbing the Tower of Success!, Battling the Leaf Thieves!, and Curtain Up, Unova League!.

Pokémon movies

Burgh also made a cameo appearance in the ending credits of Genesect and the Legend Awakened.

Character

Burgh is a frustrated genius and often in deep thought. He relishes in experiencing nature, and regularly visits Pinwheel Forest for its purity and fresh air. Burgh has adored Bug Pokémon since he was a child, and is well aware of their behavioral characteristics which helped him befriend a Sewaddle in Sewaddle and Burgh in Pinwheel Forest! and later calm a horde of angry Venipede in A Venipede Stampede!. He has also attempted to recreate Pinwheel Forest in the Castelia Gym to best suit his Pokémon and also balance out the chaos of urban life in Castelia City. Nature inspires his many artistic outlets including fashion design and sketching. In battle, Burgh uses defense strategies like Protect to combat his opponent's advances before lashing an opponent's Pokémon with high-powered attacks.

Burgh's Leavanny

Leavanny debuted in Sewaddle and Burgh in Pinwheel Forest!, when Sewaddle is accidentally attached to a Deerling and then thrown into a raging river. When Ash jumps in after it, Burgh sends Leavanny out and tells it to use String Shot, which saves them from falling over a waterfall. It later fashioned leaves to place on the head of Sewaddle after its last head-cover had been ruined by the Deerling and the river.

Pokémon Adventures

Burgh first appears in Nacrene City where he bumps into Black while he was chasing after the stolen Dragon-type skeleton. Having come there looking for inspiration to cure his artist's block, Burgh joins Black in his search for the Fossil. Together, they find the culprits, Team Plasma, and defeat them in battle to retrieve the Dragon-type Skeleton back for the Nacrene City museum. Having gotten his inspiration back, the two say their goodbyes and Burgh hopes that they will meet again in Castelia City.

In Castelia City, Burgh is seen talking to Iris about his upcoming Gym Battle and becomes disheartened when she criticizes his most recent piece of art as not being as good as his previous ones. Later, he and Black have their Gym Battle at the Castelia Gym with Black emerging as the victor. Iris soon arrives with an unconscious girl named Bianca who had her Pokémon kidnapped. Together, with Black, White, and Iris, Burgh manages to find the kidnappers, Team Plasma, and force them to retreat.

Later, Burgh, along with his fellow Gym Leaders, appears at the Celestial Tower to discuss what to do about Team Plasma. Later, he and the other Gym Leaders battle the Shadow Triad in Nacrene City to protect the Dark Stone from being stolen. Despite their teamwork, Burgh and the other Gym Leaders are defeated by the Shadow Triad's trump card, the forces of nature. Burgh, along with the other Gym Leaders, are kidnapped and taken to a dark room, where they had their memories of the kidnapping erased. When Caitlin used her psychic abilities to communicate with the Gym Leaders, she had them relay a message to Black.

During Team Plasma's attack on the Pokémon League, Burgh is hoisted up on a crucifix along with the other Gym Leaders so that they and the League can be mocked. Soon after, he is freed by Shoko's Patrat and assists in the battle against Team Plasma.

Trivia

  • Burgh's Japanese Leader title is モスト インセクト アーティスト.
  • Burgh is the only returning Gym Leader in Black 2 and White 2 that does not use a pre-Generation V Pokémon in their initial Gym battle.
    • He is also the only Gym Leader to completely replace one of his initial three Pokémon in Challenge Mode, removing his Swadloon in favour of Shelmet and Karrablast.
  • Burgh uses an illegal Accelgor in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, during the Unova Leaders Tournament. This Accelgor knows both the moves Spikes and Guard Split, both of which it is able to learn by breeding. However, it should be unable to learn them simultaneously, as it can receive Guard Split only from Shuckle while it must get Spikes from the Pineco family.
