====Character====
Officer Jenny is not a single entity. Rather, there are many Jennys working as police officers across the various regions of the Pokémon world.
Generally, Officer Jennys are brave and determined, but can be ineffective in their police duties. They fight against the likes of Team Rocket, Team Magma, Team Aqua, and Team Galactic – among other miscellaneous criminals. Although there are many exceptions, Officer Jenny will generally have to use as a police dog.
Although Jennys appear to be identical, there is some minor divergence among them, as evidenced by . Brock is able to recognize different Jennys on numerous occasions; he appears to be the only character who can tell the Officer Jennys apart. The town/region where a certain Jenny comes from can be discerned by the symbol on their hats, which differs depending on location. There seem to be two Jennys, as during the Indigo League, two Jennys with the same hat symbol (previously stated to belong to the Viridian City Jenny) were seen side-by-side. The Jennys of the Orange Islands are outfitted with uniforms of a distinctly lighter blue color, and the Officer Jenny of LaRousse City is seen wearing a different uniform to all her counterparts, it being a far more elaborate version than the others (although it does retain the standard coloring and basic design scheme). The Unova region is home to Officer Jennys that look distinctly different than those of other regions. The Unova Officer Jennys all have a tan-colored uniform, unlike the other Jennys that wore blue. Additionally, the Jennys of Unova don a much shorter hairstyle.
When the series became digitally animated in Here's Lookin' at You, Elekid, starting with Love, Pokémon Style Jenny's hair was colored in more of a greenish blue to match her Sugimori artwork. Before this, her hair appeared to be more blue in color.
There is a very distinct parallel between the families of Officer Jenny, Nurse Joy, Don George, and Porter. This may indicate some sort of relation or deeper connection. However, the only thing known about the four families is that they are apparently on good terms.
