A Fisherman or Fisher (Japanese: つりびと Fisherman ) is a type of Pokémon Trainer that first debuted in the Generation I games. They are middle-aged men with rods, reels, and fishing gear. There is normally a Poké Ball attached to the end of the line. The class was named Fisher in Generation II , but otherwise is named Fisherman.
In Japanese Gold, Silver , and Crystal Versions , they are depicted smoking, as fishermen smoking is a common stereotype in Japan; however, the cigarette was removed in international releases.
They specialize in Template:Type2 Pokémon that can be caught via fishing. At least once in every game, there is a fisherman who will fight the player with a team made up entirely of Magikarp .
Appearance
In the Japanese versions of Gold, Silver, and Crystal, the Fishers have a cigarette in their mouths. This was changed in the international releases.
