Whitney

"Hi! I'm Whitney! Everyone was into Pokémon, so I got into it too! Pokémon are super-cute! You want to battle? I'm warning you--I'm good!"- Whitney, Pokemon Gold, Silver and Crystal.

Whitney (アカネ Akane) first appeared in Pokémon Gold and Silver as the Goldenrod City Gym Leader. She uses -type pokmon.

When defeated, Whitney will start crying and will not give the gym badge. If the player walks away, a trainer will tell you to talk to her. After Whitney stops crying, she will give the Plain Badge and TM45 (Attract).

In the Anime
Whitney first appears in the episodes "A Goldenrod Opportunity", "A Dairy Tale Ending", and "Bagged then Tagged". At first glance Whitney is a kind girl, but she can be klutzy and ditzy sometimes, getting lost in her own town is an example. However, in Battle she is quite formidable, especially with her Miltank

Trivia

 * According to a few in-game NPCs, Whitney only recently started training Pokemon and was so talented she was given the position of Gym Leader by the Pokemon League, despite her inexperince as a Trainer and slight immaturity (such as leaving the Gym to go to the Radio station to win a Radio Card and crying after she loses).
 * There is a Whitney look-alike in the Generation III Pokémon Contest audiences.
 * Whitney's name may come from the word WHITE, since it is the absence of all color. This is because she is a -Type trainer.
 * She is the first Gym Leader to primarily use Normal-type Pokemon (the second being Gym Leader Norman, and the third being Gym Leader Lenora.)
 * In the anime she has one Pokemon that isn't a -type, a Nidorina, which is a -type.
 * Whitney looks similar to the character, Mayl Sakurai from the Mega Man Battle Network series created by CAPCOM.
 * She is infamous for her Miltank, whose Stomp and Rollout attack has been known to frustrate players.
 * Some people think she is good friends with Maylene.
