However, she was disappointed to find Oak had given up and retired to focus on his research. She ended up becoming a member of the Elite Four that was shared between [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]], and her Ghost-type Pokémon were known for being "horrifically terrifying in toughness". |

Agatha recognized Red as a pupil of Oak, causing her to talk about her past with him and to tell Red that she'd show him how a true trainer fights. After being beaten, she saw what Oak must have seen in Red and urged him to continue onwards. Afterwards, through a Fame Checker message, she asked Red to continue battling when he became old like her, instead of "going soft" like Oak. |
Agatha was not shown as a member of the Elite Four in the second generation games. Her fate is unconfirmed, although considering her age, she most likely either retired or passed away during the three-year gap between the games. | Agatha was not shown as a member of the Elite Four in the second generation games.

− | *In the | + | *In the Pokémon anime, Agatha was the last of the original Elite Four members to make an appearance. A sister of her's named "Hagatha" appeared early in the Johto episodes (based on the second generation games), but Agatha herself did not appear until an episode of the Battle Frontier series (based on ''[[Pokémon: Emerald Version]]''). In this episode she was Viridian City Gym's temporary gym leader. Ash and Agatha battled each other just for fun, as Ash had earned the gym's badge long ago, and he lost to Agatha. |
**In the movie ''I Choose You!'' (which is set in an alternate continuity), Agatha makes a cameo appearance as Ash's teacher in a nightmare that Ash has about a world without Pokémon. | **In the movie ''I Choose You!''

*Agatha appeared in the ''Pokémon Adventures'' manga as a villain, as the Elite Four were the antagonists of the ''Yellow'' arc. Agatha was perhaps the most villainous of the group, manipulating [[Lorelei]] into joining as well as using mind control to keep [[Bruno]] in their ranks. She battles [[Blue]] and [[Koga]] on Cerise Island and recalls her grudge with Professor Oak, which started when he left her research team because of its research going into controlling Pokémon's free wills. She is ultimately defeated and disappears afterwards. During the ''Gold''/''Silver''/''Crystal'' arc she appears in a flashback depicting her, Oak, [[Kurt]], [[Pryce]] and the Pokémon Daycare couple's friendship when they were younger. | *Agatha appeared in the ''Pokémon Adventures'' manga as a villain, as the Elite Four were the antagonists of the ''Yellow'' arc.

*She appeared in an episode of ''Pokémon Generations'' that was based on Blue's challenge of the Elite Four. During the battle, she mentions Professor Oak and the Pokédex, surprised that Oak's grandson is focused on battling rather than researching.
