| '''Trainer classes''' are the types of [[Pokémon Trainer]]s one can battle in all [[main series]] Pokémon games. They come in different varieties and sprites which describe their occupation, estimated age, and sometimes what Pokémon they train. For example, a {{tc|Psychic}} is a young adult with telekinetic powers who trains {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon. All Trainer classes have overworld or field sprites that sometimes may be used for non-Trainers. Unlike in-battle sprites, overworld sprites may be shared between multiple Trainer classes such as the {{tc|Ace Trainer}} overworld sprite, which is shared with {{tc|Dragon Tamer}}s and {{tc|Pokémon Ranger}}s. Notable Trainer classes, such as Gym Leaders, have unique sprites between each individual one. Trainer classes can be combined in certain [[Double Battle]]s; for example a {{tc|Crush Girl}} and a {{tc|Black Belt}} can team up to form a {{tc|Crush Kin}}; however, special class names are not created for Trainers involved in a [[Tag Battle]]. | | :''For the character in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] referred to as "Pokémon Trainer," see [[Pokémon Trainer (Super Smash Bros.)]].'' |

| | A '''Pokémon Trainer''' (Japanese: '''ポケモントレーナー''' ''Pokémon Trainer'') is a person who {{pkmn2|caught|catches}}, {{pkmn|training|trains}}, cares for and {{pkmn|battle}}s with Pokémon. The majority of people within the known [[Pokémon world]] are Trainers. |

| ==List of Trainer classes== | | ==Background== |
| {{main|:Category:Trainer classes|Category:Trainer classes}} | | Many Trainers leave home at about the age of ten, sometimes accompanied with a [[starter Pokémon]] obtained from a [[Pokémon Professor]], such as {{prof|Oak}}. Many will travel around one or more [[region]]s, doing such things as gathering information for a [[Pokédex]], perfecting their technique, collecting [[Badge]]s, and working to become a [[Pokémon Master]]. No matter what their specialties or aims, there is one code that they all follow - when two Trainers make eye contact, they must have a battle. |

| * {{tc|Beauty}}
| | Pokémon Trainers come in all sorts of [[Trainer class|classes]]: {{tc|Youngster}}s tend to stay close to home, and {{tc|Bug Catcher}}s swarm about the {{t|Bug}}-filled forests; {{tc|Hiker}}s traverse mountains and [[cave]]s, {{tc|Fisherman|Fishermen}} are rarely far from water, and {{tc|Ace Trainer}}s aspire to compete in the [[Pokémon League]]. A Trainer's class may reflect their Pokémon of choice, the areas they prefer, their technique, and their level of skill; however, even within each class, Trainers may vary greatly. |
| * {{tc|Biker}}

| * {{tc|Bird Keeper}}
| | Many towns have a [[Gym]] run by a strong and experienced Trainer known as a [[Gym Leader]]. Other Trainers may challenge a Gym Leader, and if the Gym Leader is defeated in battle, he or she awards them a Pokémon League [[Badge]]. However, in the Pokémon anime, the Gym Leader may award the Trainer a Badge for other reasons, since the Badge is a symbol of the Trainer's skill. For example, [[Ash Ketchum]] won several of his early Badges by refusing to take an unfair advantage or going out of his way to save a Gym, which proved himself as an exceptional Trainer outside of battle. |

| ====Beta Trainer Classes====
| | Above the level of Gym Leaders are the [[Elite Four]] Trainers and [[Pokémon Champion|Pokémon League Champion]]. There are also a special class of Trainers known as the [[Frontier Brain]]s, but they are unique to {{game|Emerald}}, {{game|Platinum}}, and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} and part of a privately owned institution known as the [[Battle Frontier]], and so may not be recognized by the League. These Trainers are considered the cream of the crop, and can only be challenged if a Trainer has met requirements such as winning eight Badges. Should a Trainer defeat other Trainers at this level, it is not uncommon for him or her to be offered a place in these high ranks. |

|
| |
|
| ===Generation II===
| | However, just as there are many Trainers with noble goals and lawful methods, there are also corrupt Trainers, including a number of [[villainous team]]s. These Trainers often use powerful Pokémon to take what they want and further their plans. |

| | There is a {{player|playable character}} called "{{sbw|Pokémon Trainer|Pokémon Trainer}}" in the game [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]. His appearance is based on {{ga|Red}}'s [[Generation III]] design, and he uses {{p|Squirtle|me}}{{p|Ivysaur|mb}}{{p|Charizard|ers}} of the [[evolution]] families of the [[Kanto]] {{pkmn2|starter}}s to battle against the others. |

| * {{tc|Aqua Admin}}
| | In the games, Pokémon Trainer (rendered as "{{PK}}{{MN}} Trainer") is used as the Trainer class for certain storyline characters. These opponents tend to be the most powerful non-arena Trainers the player will face, notably including [[rival]]s (except {{ga|Blue}} and {{ga|Silver}}, who are instead outright referred to as rivals), {{ga|Red}} from {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, {{v2|Crystal}}, and {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, {{Steven}} from {{game|Emerald}}, the Stat trainers in {{game|Platinum}}, and [[Cynthia]] from {{2v2|Black|White}}. [[N]] also uses this class until he is revealed to be the king of Team Plasma. This class is used for every opponent in link battles or in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]. |

| ====FireRed and LeafGreen==== | | ==Trivia== |
| * {{tc|Cool Couple}} | | * For ''[[DP005|Gettin' Twiggy With It!]]'', [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about the Pokémon Trainer. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about it: さあ10さい ぼくもわたしも トレーナー ''Sā jussai, boku mo watashi mo torēnā.'' "Ah, the age 10; we will all be Trainers." |
| * {{tc|Crush Girl}} | | * Even though it is stated in the anime that a person may not become a Trainer until the age of 10, there are many Trainers in other media that are obviously below the minimum age, such as the Trainer classes {{tc|Twins}}, {{tc|Tuber}}, and {{tc|Preschooler}}. Preschooler [[Battle Subway|Hellen]] emphasizes the fact that she is four years old. |
