Preschooler (Trainer class): Difference between revisions

 

A '''Preschooler''' (Japanese: '''えんじ''' ''Kindergartner'') is a type of {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} introduced in [[Generation V]]. They are young children dressed in uniforms typical of Japanese kindergartens. They could be considered younger versions of the {{tc|School Kid}} Trainer class. They are often found with at least one other Preschooler and near a {{tc|Nursery Aide}}.

In ''[[EP130|A Bout With Sprout]]'', Brock volunteered himself and his friends to assist [[Miss Priscilla]] with teaching the preschoolers at {{DL|Violet City|Pokémon School|Earl's Pokémon Academy}}. One preschooler, [[Zackie]], became determined to catch [[Ash's Pikachu]]. As a result, he stole one of Ash's {{i|Poké Ball}}s and ended up chasing Pikachu into the surrounding forest. Zackie ended up catching a {{p|Bellsprout}} instead, but he grew to love his new Pokémon after it defeated Team Rocket during the students' field trip to the [[Sprout Tower]].

 

A group of preschoolers appeared in ''[[EP201|Doin' What Comes Natu-rally]]'', after {{TRT}}'s [[Team Rocket's mechas|balloon]] crashed in the middle of the schoolyard. They cheered for [[McKenzie]] as he and his {{p|Natu}}, [[nickname]]d "Naughty", faced off against Team Rocket and defeated the trio alongside Ash. Afterwards, at their teacher's request, the students enjoyed a fortune-telling performance from McKenzie.

 

In ''[[BW012|Here Comes the Trubbish Squad!]]'', a group of Preschoolers befriended a {{p|Trubbish}}. Their kindergarten teacher [[Daniela]] was opposed to the idea of letting Trubbish stay at the school because of its smell, but the children wanted to keep it. In the end, the conflict was resolved when Trubbish saved everyone from potential danger, and Daniela realized that Trubbish will stop releasing bad odors when it becomes [[Friendship|friendly]] towards a person. They reappeared in a flashback in ''[[BW064|Explorers of the Hero's Ruin!]]''.

 

In ''[[XY013|Kindergarten Chaos!]]'', Ash and his friends went with {{OBP|Penelope|XY013}} to the kindergarten class she taught at, and allowed the kids to play with their Pokémon. One of Penelope's students, a young boy named [[Randall]], was shy and too afraid to interact with anyone, however. {{TP|Ash|Froakie}} also wouldn't interact with the kids at first, but by the end of the episode, both Randall and Froakie overcame their issues and became great friends. Ash then promised Randall that when Randall was old enough to become a Trainer, they would have a battle.

 

A female Preschooler appeared in ''[[FAT1|Justice Trainer Shin Appears!]]'', where [[Togari]] stole her {{p|Cottonee}}. {{OBP|Shin|FAT}} arrived with his {{TP|Shin|Tepig}} and defeated Togari, as well as returning Cottonee to the Preschooler in the process.

|desc={{p|Cottonee}} is the Preschooler's only known Pokémon. [[Togari]] came by to steal it but he was stopped by {{OBP|Shin|FAT}} and his {{TP|Shin|Tepig}}. Shin then returned Cottonee to its rightful owner.

 

 

A female Preschooler was one of the {{pkmn|Trainer}}s that received a Prop Case and tried on a Smiley-Face Mask on her {{p|Elgyem}} in ''[[PS483|Special Delivery]]''.

 

 

 

In ''[[PS558|What Does Charmander Do When It Dozes]]'', a male Preschooler was briefly seen playing in the streets of [[Lumiose City]] with his Litleo.

 

A male Preschooler appeared in ''[[PS560|Trevenant Pokes]]'' with his older brother, a {{tc|Youngster}}, at the [[Tower of Mastery]] before deciding to go home.

 

In ''[[PASM15|Shipwreck and "Oh, What Sharp Teeth You Have, Bruxish!"]]'', two Preschoolers were seen at the [[Aether House]] playing with a {{p|Yungoos}}.

|desc=This {{p|Joltik}} was owned by a male Preschooler at [[Nimbasa City]]. It rode on its Trainer's head as he watched a {{tc|Harlequin}} make a {{p|Patrat}} balloon.

 

 

|desc=This {{p|Pancham}} was owned by a female Preschooler, walking with her at the Mini-game Corner, watching a Head It! minigame.

* Preschooler's [[prize money|base payout]] in {{game|Black and White|s}} and its sequels is {{PDollar}}4, the lowest of all Trainers.

* In Festival Plaza, the phrase "I like male/female Preschoolers!" was changed to "I like '''battling''' male/female Preschoolers!" in {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}. This is the only Trainer class to be changed this way.
