Interviewers (Japanese:インタビュアーInterviewers) is a type ofDouble-BattlingPokémon Trainer class that first debuted in theGeneration III games. The pair is made up of aReporter and aCameraman. InGeneration IV, Reporters and Cameramen can be battled alone, while in Generations III andVIII, they appear only in pairs as Interviewers.

InHoenn-based games, "Interviewer" specifically refers toGabby and Ty, who can be battled on Routes111,118, and120. In theSinnoh-based games, it specifically refers to Roxy and Oli, who can be battled inJubilife TV headquarters^DPBDSP or variousPokémon Centers aroundSinnoh^Pt.

In Generation III, they were referred to in the singular, asInterviewer, which made it sound as though only Gabby belonged to the class; however, starting in the English versions of theGeneration IV games, they are correctly referred to in the plural, asInterviewers.
