Janine 100px Janine, as seen in Pokémon Gold and Silver Anzu Poison Fuchsia City Gym Leader Pokémon Gold and Silver N/A VS Suicune Janine, known in the Japanese versions as Anzu アンズ, is a Gym Leader in the Kanto region and resides in Fucshia City. She is an expert on Poison types. In Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal, Janine became the gym leader when her father Koga joined the Elite Four. Janine is also the most mischievous of the Gym leaders and likes to play tricks on her opponents. Her main trick is getting all her trainers to disguise as her to confuse the opponent trainer. Her names in other languages are:English: Janine, French: Jeannine, German: Janina, Italian: Nina, Spanish: Sachiko. Her international names may be a corruption of the syllables in 'ninja'. In Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, she speaks of training in her father's footsteps. In this game, she is called Charine (perhaps as a matter of translation). Janine has never appeared in the Pokémon anime, but Koga instead has a sister named Aya. Ash first met her when he went to challenge Koga for a Gym Badge and again while she was training in Johto.
