In the games


As an expert in computing, Lanette has created thePokémon Storage System inHoenn. UnlikeBill's, who had created the original Pokémon Storage System inKanto andJohto, Lanette's provides a user-friendly graphicalinterface and the ability to store more Pokémon and change thewallpaper of the Boxes in which Pokémon are stored. She is the younger sister ofBridgette. In an email inRuby, Sapphire, andEmerald, she is implied to know Bill, butPokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire removes the mention of his name in the email.
Lanette is first met at thePokémon Center inFallarbor Town, currently using the PC storage system. She apologizes for getting in the way and leaves to her house onRoute 114. In order for her to appear at her house, the player must speak to her at the Pokémon Center. When arriving at her house, the player finds that it is greatly cluttered. She claims it gets that way when she is engrossed in her research. In return for keeping this a secret, she gives theplayer aSeedotROR orLotadSEASdoll.
In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the player can speak with Lanette to change the order of options in Lanette's PC, bringing "Organize Boxes" from the third option to the first and pushing "Deposit Pokémon" and "Withdraw Pokémon" to the second and third options, respectively. Speaking with her again can undo the change.
