A Poké Fan (Japanese: だいすきクラブ Lovers Club), formatted as Pokéfan prior to Pokémon X and Y, is a type of Pokémon Trainer that debuted in the Generation II games. They come in two varieties: Middle-aged women with Poké Dolls (prior to Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire) or a Pokémon magazineORAS, and middle-aged men with small children dressed in PikachuGSCRSEBWB2W2, PichuDPPtHGSS, or PanchamXY outfits, or a bag of Pokémon themed merchandiseORAS. Trainers of this class are members of the Pokémon Fan Club.

In Double Battles, two Poké Fans paired together are called a Poké Fan Family.

They raise many different cute Pokémon that usually belong to the Fairy Egg Group. The Pokémon of Poké Fans are notable for always holding a Berry or Oran Berry, depending on the game. In Generation V and Generation VI games, they may use Hyper Potions and Full Restores on injured Pokémon during battle.

History

Gold, Silver & Crystal arc

In Oh, It's Ho-Oh!, a male and female Poké Fan go towards the Indigo Plateau with their two Pikachu.

In The Last Battle XIII, a male and female Poké Fan appeared as two of the Trainers that lent their Pokémon for the final battle against the Masked Man.

Emerald arc

In As Luck Would Have It, Kirlia and Moving Past Milotic, Emerald has a Double Battle at the Battle Pike, against virtual male and female Poké Fans who use Kirlia and Dusclops.

Platinum arc

In Deprogramming Porygon-Z, a female Poké Fan was seen entering the Battle Castle with her Bonsly.

HeartGold & SoulSilver arc

In Weavile Wobbles But It Won't Fall Down, a female Poké Fan and her son appeared amongst the people at the Safari Zone Gate.

X & Y arc

In PS554, a male Poké Fan appeared at Santalune City with his son and their Inkay. Another male Poké Fan without a son walks past Shauna after she ran off from the others for easily trusting Viola.

Trivia

  • In all of the games, the species of the dolls accompanying the female Poké Fan sprite shown changes (progressing with Clefairy, Wailmer, Bonsly, Sewaddle, Flabébé, Banette, Skitty, and Pancham), but until Pokémon X and Y, the male Poké Fan sprite has always been shown holding a child in a Pikachu or Pichu costume, as well as the Pokémon's icon imprinted onto their T-shirts.
  • Because the female Poké Fan sprite remains the same between Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum and HeartGold and SoulSilver, they are shown to have Bonsly dolls in a region where Sudowoodo appears only once (and is apparently not well-known) and where Bonsly does not appear in the regional Pokédex.
  • The Poké Fan is voiced by Kaiji Tang in Pokémon Masters EX.
