Mom (Hoenn)
Mom (Japanese: おかあさん mother) is the mother of Brendan or May and the wife of Norman.
In the core series games
In Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire, the player and their mother finish their move to Littleroot Town in a moving truck. She instructs them to set the time on the clock upstairs and to make sure that everything is on their desk. When the player comes back downstairs, she will say that the player's father is on TV; however, the player just missed him.
When the player defeats Norman, she will give an Amulet Coin as a reward.
In Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, after the player has entered the Hall of Fame, a news report will be on TV. It will announce that a Pokémon is roaming the Hoenn region, which will be either LatiasS or LatiosR. In Emerald, it will not distinguish which of the eon duo is the roaming Pokémon, due to static interference. Instead, the player's mother will ask if the news report was either about a red creature (Latias) or a blue creature (Latios). The one chosen will then roam Hoenn. In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Latias or Latios is encountered earlier in the game and no longer roams. Instead, after completing the Delta Episode, she gives the player a LatiasiteOR or LatiositeAS.
In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, Norman reveals that he and his family moved to Hoenn from Olivine City.

Trivia
- In Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire, a non-player character in Petalburg City mentions that Norman and his family are from Johto. In Pokémon Emerald, the character who said this instead states that the player character's family moved from somewhere far away. In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, Norman reveals that he is more specifically from Olivine City. In some new dialogue from Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the player's Mom also mentions that they moved from Johto.
- However, in the Pokémon Adventures manga, they are from Goldenrod City instead. This was introduced in the manga prior to the reveal that they are from Olivine City in the games.
