A Gentleman (Japanese: ジェントルマン Gentleman) is a type of Pokémon Trainer that first debuted in the Generation I games. They are older men in dapper suits.

They generally use Pokémon based on pets - such as Growlithe, Manectric, or Chatot. They also tend to give out large amounts of money for winning.

In Pokémon Stadium, they are known as Old Men. In Generation IV, they gain a female counterpart in the form of Socialite.

A Gentleman apppeared in Battle Aboard the St. Anne. This Gentleman owned a Raticate that, oddly enough, could use Hi Jump Kick. Ash traded his Butterfree for the Raticate, but grew a little worried about his Butterfree, so he and the Gentleman traded back their Pokémon, just before the St. Anne started sinking due to a storm. A Gentleman who looks similar makes a brief cameo in Time Warp Heals All Wounds.

He is voiced by 中村大樹 Daiki Nakamura in Japanese

Pokémon

On hand

The following is a list of Pokémon owned by the Gentleman in the anime:

Raticate

Debut	Battle Aboard the St. Anne
Voice actors
Japanese	Ikue Ohtani
English	Jimmy Zoppi

Main article: Ash's Raticate

The Gentleman's Raticate was first seen fighting a young trainer's Starmie, who was defeated. It was then used in a battle against Ash's Butterfree, who defeated it. The Gentleman, who was in awe over Butterfree's power, traded Raticate to Ash for it. Ash soon started to regret the trade and, as the St. Anne was sinking, traded Raticate back to the Gentleman.

Squirtle

Debut	Battle Aboard the St. Anne
Voice actors
Japanese	Rikako Aikawa
English	Eric Stuart

Little is known about the Gentleman's Squirtle as it was seen only very briefly when it teamed up with a bunch of other Squirtle to fight off Team Rocket.

None of Squirtle's moves are known.

Traded away

Butterfree ♂

Debut	Pokémon Emergency!
Voice actors
Japanese	Rikako Aikawa
English	Rikako Aikawa

Main article: Ash's Butterfree

Butterfree was originally owned by Ash. It was traded to the Gentleman after a battle between the two trainers when the Gentleman stated his interest in the Butterfly Pokémon. It teamed up with some other Butterfree with their Stun Spore to get rid of Team Rocket before it was traded back to Ash, who missed it too much.

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

In the Red, Green & Blue arc a Gentleman makes a cameo in Gyarados Splashes In! talking with a PC operator.
