Kasumi's
Pokemon

#118: Tosakinto
Japanese VA: Otani Ikue
American VA: Rachel Lillis
Getto Da Ze: Kasumi has it with
her in Episode 2 ("Showdown! Pokemon Center")
Tosakinto is Kasumi's least-used pokemon. That's probably why I overlooked
it until KitKat70000 pointed its absense in this section to me. It
doesn't battle too often--it flopped around in Episode 2, but other than
that it is usually called when a raft needs to be pulled (like in Episode
16). Its horn is supposed to be poisonous and is to be feared.
Tosakinto is very majestic and elegant (like a princess), suiting Kasumi
very well. Well, at least she'd like to think that...

#120: Hitodeman
Japanese VA: Miki Shinichiro
Name Means: hitode=Starfish,
man=English word for male
Getto Da Ze: Kasumi has it in her gym
battle with Satoshi in Episode 7 ("In the Water at Hanada City")
Hitodeman is Kasumi's starfish pokemon. It
is rarely used in battle but when it is used, it is usely commanded
to use its water gun attack or to spin around to cut ropes. Other
than that, it doesn't really come out a lot.

#121: Starmii
Getto Da Ze: Kasumi has it in her
gym battle with Satoshi in Episode 7 ("In the Water at Hanada City")
Starmii is the evolution of Hitodeman. Like
Hitodeman, it isn't called out to battle that much--it's just used to help
Kasumi-tachi out. Starmii has a jewel on its center that flashes
when it becomes weak.

#116: Tattsu
Japanese VA: Toyoshima Machiko
Getto Da Ze: Episode 19 ("Menokurage
Dokukurage")
Leaves: Episode 61 ("Hanada Gym! Underwater Battle!")
Kasumi found Tattsu injured in a lake in Episode 19. After nursing
it back to health, Kasumi decided to keep it, making Tattsu the first pokemon
she caught on her journey with Satoshi. It's really a baby and is
used in battle about as often as Tosakinto. Kasumi eventually gives
Tattsu to her sisters to assist in their underwater ballet show.

#054: Koduck
Japanese VA: Aikawa Rikako
Getto Da Ze: Episode 27 ("Sleeper
and Pokemon Hypnotism!?")
Koduck is the unwanted pokemon who Kasumi didn't
willingly capture--when it pecked open one of Kasumi's Monster Balls, the
ball captured the duck pokemon and became the property of Kasumi.
It's not very intelligent and is usually useless in battle, and unlike
most Koduck, Kasumi's Koduck cannot swim. In addition, Koduck always
has a headache, which may help explain why it always acts so doofy.
Kasumi has offered many times to trade her Koduck to someone else in exchange
for another pokemon, but everyone declines her offer. The duck pokemon
pops out of its Monster Ball a lot, even when it isn't summoned, so it
can be a real pain when Kasumi's fighting in a battle where pokemon substitutions
aren't allowed.
Koduck isn't completely useless, though.
When its headache gets severe enough (usually because it's been hit on
the head repeatedly), Koduck can emit some powerful psychic attacks.
Even though Kasumi still has Koduck, we haven't seen it used for a while
since the Jouto League started.

#175: Togepi
Japanese VA: Koorogi Satomi
American VA: Koorogi Satomi
Getto Da Ze: Episode 50 ("Who Gets
to Keep Togepi!?")
Togepi is the second pokemon from the Gold/Silver
games to appear in the anime (Hou'ou is the first). Togepi hatches
from an egg Satoshi picked up in Episode 46, and for a while there is a
big debate over who it should belong to. There is even a tournament
held to determine who the trainer of the baby pokemon will be, but the
tournament's outcome doesn't matter to Togepi--it chose Kasumi to be its
trainer. Kasumi was the first person it saw after hatching, so she's
the person it identifies as its mother.
Togepi is a little baby, so it doesn't ever battle.
In fact, most of the time it just sits in Kasumi's arms, happily watching
the events going on around it. It is a bit of a crybaby and does
get itself into trouble constantly, but most of the time it's harmless.
The only attack we've seen Togepi use so far is "Magic Finger" (Metronome),
and every time it's used it's to teleport someone away from danger.

#060 and 061: Nyoromo/Nyorozo
American VA: Rachel Lillis (Poliwag)
Getto Da Ze: Episode
Evolves: Episode 151 ("Who
Gets to Keep Waninoko!? Satoshi VS. Kasumi!")

# 222: Saniigo
Getto Da Ze: Episode 213 ("Saniigo
the Amigo! Confrontation at Ougan Tower!!")
I really don't know much about Saniigo. Utsugi-Hakase gives it to
Kasumi. Saniigo is used to win Kasumi's preliminary matches in the
Uzumaki Cup, so it must be a powerful pokemon.
