Pokémon Coordinator: Difference between revisions

Originated in the [[Hoenn]] [[region]], Pokémon coordinating is based on showing off Pokémon in visually impressive ways. It also refers to the act of {{DL|Pokémon training|raising Pokémon}} particularly for {{pkmn|Contest}}s, rather than for regular {{pkmn|battle}}s. As a result, it provides {{pkmn|Trainer}}s with an alternative to the [[Badge]]-collecting quest, giving them a different look at the many charms of Pokémon, as well as a distinct method for interacting with them. Trainers who focus in this area are called Coordinators.

Pokémon Coordinators typically concern themselves with the outward appearances of their Pokémon. Because of this, they tend to give them special, [[Contest condition|condition]]-enhancing treats made out of {{Berries}} that keep them looking good. They also need to concentrate on the [[move]]sets of their Pokémon, teaching them [[appeal]]ing, attention-grabbing attacks that can be easily [[Contest combination|combined]] to grant them additional points when used in Contests. Like Trainers, Coordinators are also responsible for their Pokémon's overall health and well-being.
