Gabby and Ty are a pair of co-workers who can be found interviewing Trainers all over Hoenn. Gabby is an interviewer and Ty is her trusty cameraman.
Gabby and Ty appear on Route 111, Route 118, or Route 120. When spoken to, they will battle the player, then conduct a short interview. In Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire and Emerald, the interview may be answered using the easy chat system, while in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, it may be answered with a custom text input. The results of the battle will later be broadcast on televisionRSE/BuzzNavORAS.
In Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, after they are defeated, Gabby and Ty will relocate to their next location. After the player defeats them 255 times, though, they will stay on Route 111 permanently and will no longer move after being defeated. In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Gabby and Ty will not relocate until the player gives them an interview.
Gabby and Ty also make a brief appearance when they interview Captain Stern when he announces his underwater exploration and they leave prior to Team MagmaROR/Team AquaSEAS stealing his submarine.
