Interviewers (Japanese: インタビュアー Interviewers) is a type of Double-Battling Pokémon Trainer class that first debuted in the Generation III games. The pair is made up of a Reporter and a Cameraman. In Generation IV, Reporters and Cameramen can be battled alone, while in Generations III and VIII, they appear only in pairs as Interviewers.

In Hoenn-based games, "Interviewer" specifically refers to Gabby and Ty, who can be battled on Routes 111, 118, and 120. In the Sinnoh-based games, it specifically refers to Roxy and Oli, who can be battled in Jubilife TV headquartersDPBDSP or various Pokémon Centers around SinnohPt.

In Generation III, they were referred to in the singular, as Interviewer, which made it sound as though only Gabby belonged to the class; however, starting in the English versions of the Generation IV games, they are correctly referred to in the plural, as Interviewers.

Main article: Gabby and Ty

Gabby and Ty debuted in Creeping Past Cacnea, interviewing Norman after a victorious battle. They would go on to play notable roles in the Ruby & Sapphire and Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire arcs.

In Luring in a Lickilicky, a pair of Interviewers was seen in a flashback, when the Pokétch Co. President told Diamond that he saw a TV crew covering Lake Valor.

A pair of Interviewers were one of the people swarming the Mossdeep Space Center in Diancie Shines.

Trivia

  • In Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald Versions, after Gabby and Ty are defeated, Gabby will ask the player to sum up the battle in a single word. This later shows up on TV, as part of a report broadcast region-wide. In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the player inputs text manually. The text inputted will be broadcast on the BuzzNav.
  • In Platinum, Interviewers Roxy and Oli can be found in these Pokémon Center locations around Sinnoh:
Sunday, Tuesday, Saturday: Eterna City
Monday: Jubilife City
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday: Veilstone City
  • Roxy was named after the main character in a Something Awful user's Let's Play of Crystal, who used a Wooper as her main Pokémon after leaving her "evil" Totodile with her mother. Nob Ogasawara, the lead translator for Diamond and Pearl, is a member of the Something Awful forums and was a reader of the Let's Play thread in question.
  • There is data in Pokémon Platinum for a battle with Roxy and Oli with a level 6 Magnemite and Ralts, but it is completely inaccessible.[1]
