Mom (Johto)

Mother or Mom (Japanese: おかあさん mother) is the mother of , , or .
==Terminology==
===Generation II===
In Generation II, her name on the Pokégear phone is "MOM". She is also referred this way in the game dialogue, such as in "Sent some to MOM!" when sending money to her after a Pokémon battle. However, in the game data, she is referred to as MOTHER in the unused feature that would allow the player to choose her name.
Several characters mention "your mom" (written in lowercase), but she herself mentions "your MOM" in all-caps:
* "Come see your MOM sometime!" (Mom's phone call)
* "Wow, your POKéGEAR is impressive! Did your mom get it for you?"; "Hi, <player>! Leaving again? You should tell your mom if you are leaving. Call your mom on your POKéGEAR to let her know how you're doing." (said by a non-player character in New Bark Town)
* "Before you leave, make sure that you talk to your mom." (Professor Elm)
* "You're traveling all alone? Isn't your mom worried?" ( Colin on S.S. Aqua)
===Generation IV===
In Generation IV, her name on the Pokégear phone is "Mother". However, she is known as Mom when sending money to her after Pokémon battles: "Sent some to Mom!"
She is also known as "Mom" at the start of her quotes. For instance:
* "Mom: <player>! Welcome home. It sounds like you had quite the experience out there. Maybe you should take a quick rest so you can relax."
==In the core series games==
In the Generation II games and in , the 's mother informs them that the Pokégear has returned from the repair shop. In Generation II, she then helps set the day of the week and, in non-Japanese and non-Korean releases, set accordingly (except if it's between 11:00 PM and 12:59 AM in-game, in which the game prevents this due to the day of the week changing; she will claim that she lost the instruction booklet for the Pokégear, although not during the initial setup process).
She will save the player's money at their request so that a quarter of the money won from each battle is automatically sent to her, and money can be deposited and withdrawn from her (in HeartGold and SoulSilver, if the player has 999,999 on hand then no additional money earned from battles will be sent to her, contrary to what the end-of-battle dialogue claims). She occasionally buys decorations, , or other items (listed below) with the player's money, then apologizes for spending the money she is saving. Her cooking specialty is the Cinnabar Volcano Burger.
===Items purchased===
====Generation II====
After the player wins a Trainer battle, the player's mother may purchase items for them.
When the player's savings reach certain amounts, the player's mother may purchase one of the items below. Each item can only be obtained once.
Trigger	Cost 	Item	Item
900 	600 	 	Super Potion
4000 	270 	 	Repel
7000 	600 	 	Super Potion
10000 	1800 	 	
15000 	3000 	 	Moon Stone
19000 	600 	 	Super Potion
30000 	4800 	 	
40000 	900 	 	Hyper Potion
50000 	8000 	 	
100000 	22800	 	
If the player's mother cannot purchase one of the above items, then she may randomly purchase an item below if the player's savings are an exact multiple of 2300. The target multiple rises each time the player's savings pass or equal the previous target (starting with 2300) and never lowers. This means that if the player's savings increase from 4500 to 4700 after a battle, they will thereafter be unable to trigger one of these items at 4600 even if they make a withdrawal from their savings.
Cost	Item	Item
600 	 	Super Potion

==Trivia==
* In the internal data for Pokémon Gold and Silver, there is leftover data for naming the mother.
** Other leftover data also indicates the player would have had the option of allowing the mother to save half or all of the player's money after a battle.
* In , Irwin mentions the player's mother on a phone call:
*: "Yesterday, I went out to <sc>New Bark Town</sc>. There was a lady who looked a lot like you,<player>. What? That lady was your mom? Aww, I should've introduced myself! I bet your mom's really proud of all that you've accomplished. Heh, put it this way. I'd be proud if I were your mom, believe me!"
