Great Pokémon Moment – 7

by the Pocket World team

We Discover That Joy Isn’t the Nurse’s First Name!

Nurse Joy pops up quite often in the Pokémon anime cartoon, but many of you probably think that it’s always the same character – not so, as we find out in ‘Drifloon In The Wind!’…

Moment7-1Moment7-2Arriving at the Valley Windworks, Ash and his gang of mates meet with Nurse Joy and two younger Joys, along with a bunch of Drifloon Pokémon that are floating by. It is revealed that Joy is actually the family name and there are many Nurse Joys around the world. Although they all look very similar, it is implied that they are all related and have slight variations in the way they dress. Even when they get married, all Nurse Joy’s keep the Joy surname rather than taking their husband’s.

Moment7-3Moment7-4In the episode, Marnie (full name Marnie Francis Lynnette Joy) takes Ash to a spring to meet her Pokémon friend; it turns out to be a Suicune, which really surprises Ash as this is a Legendary Pokémon. With a storm brewing, the Drifloon start to get anxious and Paige (full name Paige Francis Lynnelle Joy) attempts to stop them from being blown away, but ends up being carried away with them on the wind. It’s got to be Ash to the rescue once again, but his plans could be scuppered as Team Rocket is waiting in the wings to cause all kinds of trouble!

      For most of the time, I thought that it was just a co-incidence, or she moves, somehow, from place to place, etc….

      then I thought of something along those lines, now I know what it is!
