Trainer Types

If you're still having any sort of trouble deciding what type of trainer you want to create, here's a brief synopsis of each type currently available. Keep in mind that we may release a new trainer type at some point in time, so this can be updated in the future.

Pokemon Trainer
The most common and wide spread trainer type out there. They believe in catching 'em all and battling it out until they become champion. They mainly focus on battles, but that doesn't mean they can't occasionally try something new, like breeding. If you aren't sure what trainer type to create first, then this is probably the best choice.

Breeder
Breeders focus less on battling and more on raising and breeding Pokemon. They are usually very good at grooming and keeping Pokemon happy, while also making a very good PokeFood. Though they can train in the occasional battle, they usually don't enter in leagues or compatitions. They are excellent travel companions, and can save a trip to a Pokemon Center after a harsh battle.

Researcher
Researchers are an interesting group. They are the professors and scientists of the Pokemon world, and don't have specified goals like the previous classes. Instead, they focus on some sort of research, and pursue that field. So if you are studying evolution, you would probably evolve Pokemon often, but if you studied the effect of certain berries, you would probably focus more on gathering natural foods, and seeing their effects. This group is a little more laid back in definition compared to the others, but it's also a wonderful choice for an ambitious trainer starting their journey.

Coordinator
Coordinators are trainers who don't want to compete in Gym battles and collect badges, but instead compete in contests to gather ribbons. Their life is usually more laid back than that of a trainer. They love focusing on the beauty of their Pokemon, both their moves and appearance. This is also a great choice for a first trainer, and also offers a wonderful alternative to battling gym leaders.

Tamers
Tamers are another type of trainer. Instead of simply catching any Pokemon they want, they focus on the strongest and defiant ones, such as powerful dragons. They love the challenge and thrill of working toward the obedience of their Pokemon, and train them until they are very powerful. Some say they're also generally cold toward other people and Pokemon, but it could just be a stereotype of their lifestyle.

Specialist
These are trainers that only use a certain theme when capturing and training Pokemon. It's usually a certain type, such as Dark, but it can be more creative, such as only feline Pokemon. These trainers rarely deviate from their theme and pride themselves in sticking to their themes. Generally, they can be very stubborn and picky trainers.

Shiny Hunter
You MUST have 500 posts to make a trainer with this class, and you may only make one.
Shiny Hunters are the trainers that seek out to capture the mysterious and illusive shiny Pokemon. They may start with one of these rare creatures, but only one, and generally only capture the different colored Pokemon.

Legend Collector
You MUST have 1000 posts, been here for one year, and gain Administrator approval to make this trainer class, and it may only be created once.
Legend Hunters seek out the powerful Legendary Pokemon told in tales passed down from the generations. They are very skilled trainer and usually keen strategists. They may start with one minor legendary, but MUST obey the starting level limits.
