'''Yancy''' (Japanese: '''ルリ''' ''Ruri''), otherwise known under the screen name '''Nancy''' (Japanese: '''ルッコ''' ''Rukko''), is a character that appears in {{2v2|Black|White|2}} if the {{player}}'s gender is male. She is the female counterpart to [[Curtis]].
'''Yancy''' (Japanese: '''ルリ''' ''Ruri''), otherwise known under the screen name '''Nancy''' (Japanese: '''ルッコ''' ''Rukko''), is a character that appears in {{2v2|Black|White|2}} if the {{player}}'s gender is male. She is the female counterpart to [[Curtis]].


==In the games==
==In the core series games==
Yancy is first encountered after the male player picks up the {{key|V|Dropped Item}} ([[Xtransceiver]]) in [[Nimbasa City]]. Upon obtaining the item, Yancy calls it from an old phone and identifies herself as the owner of the lost Xtransceiver. However she is busy at work and is unable to retrieve it at the time, so she asks the male player to hold onto it until she is free from work.
Yancy is first encountered after the male player picks up the [[Dropped Item]] ([[Xtransceiver]]) in [[Nimbasa City]]. Upon obtaining the item, Yancy calls it from an old phone and identifies herself as the owner of the lost Xtransceiver. However, she is busy at work and is unable to retrieve it at the time, so she asks the male player to hold onto it until she is free from work.


Yancy will call her Xtransceiver when the male player is in specific locations around [[Unova]]. Yancy will slowly learn about the player through her initial nine calls. What she learns about him is based on what the player answered in the [[Passerby Analytics HQ]] surveys in [[Castelia City]]. At the tenth call, Yancy would inform the player that she is finally free from work and would like to retrieve her [[Xtransceiver]] back in [[Nimbasa City]]. It is here that Yancy meets the male player for the first time as her initial calls were audio only so neither knew what each other looked like. She gratefully takes her Xtransceiver back and exchanges numbers with the male player as she wishes to talk to him more.

It is here that Yancy meets the male player for the first time as her initial calls were audio only so neither knew what each other looked like. She gratefully takes her Xtransceiver back and exchanges numbers with the male player as she wishes to talk to him more.


After returning her Xtransceiver, the male player can call Yancy occasionally as long as he is anywhere in the 15 areas that she calls him initially and as long as she is available. Sometimes, the male player can even call multiple times while in the same area. From the 11th through 19th calls, Yancy tells the male player more about herself. Calls twenty through twenty-nine, Yancy will ask the male player for advice or opinions about things. After the 30th call, Yancy will ask the player to ride at the Rondez-View Ferris Wheel with her. After the first call of every next day, Yancy will ask the player for a Ferris Wheel ride, and if the player has entered the [[Hall of Fame]], she will offer to trade Pokémon after the ride. Pokémon traded from her have {{DL|Ability|Hidden Abilities}}, are at [[level]] 50, and have no predetermined [[nature]], [[gender]], or [[individual values]]. It is possible to receive multiples of the same species.
After returning her Xtransceiver, the game will randomly select one of the 15 areas that she calls him initially and the male player can call her from anywhere in that area. The area will change every subsequent time she is called or the game is loaded, whether she is talked to or not, but sometimes, the male player can even call multiple times while in the same area. From the 11th through 19th calls, Yancy tells the male player more about herself. Calls twenty through twenty-nine, Yancy will ask the male player for advice or opinions about things.

It is possible to receive multiples of the same species.


From the 31st through 49th calls (except the Ferris-Wheel-ride calls), Yancy will say any of a variety of things. On the 50th call, her co-worker accidentally pick up the phone, revealing Yancy in her working outfit.

During the 51st call, she will apologize about the previous call being cut off, lying to the player that the one who answered was her coworker.

:''"Um... If you don't mind can I still call you sometime? ... Phew. I was really scared you might say no. <Yancy's Reregistered in Xtranceiver>. Can I ask you one more thing? I called you on the Xtranceiver too often, and Ma... I mean one of my coworkers... Got really mad at me... So, <player>, could you call me? ...''"
:''"What? Really? Thanks... <Player>, you're really nice. Hee hee...''"
:''"I'm usually at work, and sometimes I have trouble picking up a signal... But I'd like it if you check your Xtranceiver often and give me a call... Ah ha ha! Well, I'll be heading home! Good-bye, <player>!''"

Debut The Transfer Student

Yancy (Japanese: ルリ Ruri), otherwise known under the screen name Nancy (Japanese: ルッコ Rukko), is a character that appears in Black 2 and White 2 if the player's gender is male. She is the female counterpart to Curtis.

In the core series games

Yancy is first encountered after the male player picks up the Dropped Item (Xtransceiver) in Nimbasa City. Upon obtaining the item, Yancy calls it from an old phone and identifies herself as the owner of the lost Xtransceiver. However, she is busy at work and is unable to retrieve it at the time, so she asks the male player to hold onto it until she is free from work.

Yancy will call her Xtransceiver when the male player is in specific locations around Unova. Yancy will slowly learn about the player through her initial nine calls. What she learns about him is based on what the player answered in the Passerby Analytics HQ surveys in Castelia City. At the tenth call, Yancy would inform the player that she is finally free from work and would like to retrieve her Xtransceiver back in Nimbasa City. It is here that Yancy meets the male player for the first time as her initial calls were audio only so neither knew what each other looked like. She gratefully takes her Xtransceiver back and exchanges numbers with the male player as she wishes to talk to him more.

After returning her Xtransceiver, the game will randomly select one of the 15 areas that she calls him initially and the male player can call her from anywhere in that area. The area will change every subsequent time she is called or the game is loaded, whether she is talked to or not, but sometimes, the male player can even call multiple times while in the same area. From the 11th through 19th calls, Yancy tells the male player more about herself. Calls twenty through twenty-nine, Yancy will ask the male player for advice or opinions about things. After the 30th call, Yancy will ask the player to ride at the Rondez-View Ferris Wheel with her. After the first call of every next day, Yancy will ask the player for a Ferris Wheel ride, and if the player has entered the Hall of Fame, she will offer to trade Pokémon after the ride. Pokémon traded from her have Hidden Abilities, are at level 50, and have no predetermined nature, gender, or individual values. It is possible to receive multiples of the same species.

From the 31st through 49th calls (except the Ferris-Wheel-ride calls), Yancy will say any of a variety of things. On the 50th call, she will accidentally pick up the phone while at work, revealing Yancy in her working outfit. During the 51st call, she will apologize about the previous call being cut off, lying to the player that the one who answered was her coworker.

Yancy, as Nancy, appears in various television shows as a celebrity idol, regardless of the player's gender.

Contact areas

Yancy will automatically call the player on any one of fifteen specific spots. They can only be triggered once. Each spot is only located at one specific tile.

Traded to the player

Yancy will trade the male player a different Pokémon each day in this order, if the previous one has already been traded. Fused Kyurem and Eggs cannot be traded to Yancy.

Pokémon Adventures

Yancy in Pokémon Adventures
As Nancy in Pokémon Adventures

Yancy debuted in The Transfer Student. She was first seen in tears as her boyfriend Blake broke up with her stating that their relationship was interfering with Yancy's career as an idol. It was later revealed that Blake only went out with her to find out if she was a member of the previously defeated Team Plasma. After concluding that she wasn't a member, Blake crossed out Yancy's name and her stage name Nancy off a list of possible suspects.

In Epilogue: Graduation Ceremony, Yancy played the role of Foongus Girl in a Brycen-Man film alongside Curtis, who played Dewott Kid.

Pokémon

Spinda
Yancy's Spinda

Spinda is Yancy's only known Pokémon. It was first seen with its Trainer when she was breaking up with Blake. Afterward, it left with Yancy while she said her tearful goodbyes.

None of Spinda's moves are known.

Trivia

  • Yancy will occasionally talk about the other regions, which she's been to on business trips: Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh.
    • She will say something about the region, such as, "I went on a business trip to the Hoenn region the other day. They have many unique towns and cities. They really surprised me! Their famous Lava Cookie was really good too!"
