=== Scope and aims===
|-
Project Trainer Class is a project designed to expand all articles in the Trainer Class from all the Pokémon games. It covers all trainer classes in the main series from [[Trainer class#Generation I|Generation I]] to [[Trainer class#Generation IV|Generation IV]].
{{ProjectBox|width=30%|Scope and aims|
Project CharacterDex aims to write and improve comprehensive articles on characters from games. Good articles include {{ga|Blue}} and {{ga|Red}}.


Our ultimate goal is to expand and complete all articles on trainer classes, such as [[Bug Catcher]] and [[Youngster]] that have appeared in the games. Currently, this project covers every trainer class in [[Trainer class#Generation I|Generation I]], [[Trainer class#Generation II|II]], [[Trainer class#Generation III|III]] and [[Trainer class#Generation IV|IV]], along with [[List_of_trainer_classes#Colosseum.2FXD|Pokémon Colosseum/XD]] and [[List_of_trainer_classes#Pok.C3.A9mon_Battle_Revolution|Pokémon Battle Revolution]].
Project CharacterDex also aims to get as much info as possible on new characters. A good example would be [[Red (game)#In the Super Smash Bros. series|Pokémon Trainer from Super Smash Bros. Brawl]].


===Participants===
Project CharacterDex also aims to add unknown info about the characters and their Pokémon. This includes [[move]]s and {{abilities}}. A good example would be the addition of previously unknown abilities of the Pokémon in the [[Battleground]].
To join the project, simply add your name to the bottom of this list:


*[[User:Clarky13|Clarky13]]- The founder and leader of the project.
This Project's goal is to cover every possible article that falls under the criteria of "game-exclusive characters" and to pick up as many helping members as possible along the way.

==How can I help?==
}}
You can help by opening the [[list of trainer classes]] and selecting any incomplete trainer class and expand it by providing any extra information about it. There is no need for creating any new articles, as all trainer classes have already been made. But instead, you can expand the many trainer class stub articles that have been created.


By following the structure of the article below, you can expand and modify any article to comply with the project standard.

Some trainer class articles, namely ones from [[List_of_trainer_classes#Colosseum.2FXD|Pokémon Colosseum/XD]] and [[List_of_trainer_classes#Pok.C3.A9mon_Battle_Revolution|Pokémon Battle Revolution]] don’t have pictures or unsatisfactory pictures. You can add a picture to these articles, if possible, by upload a sprite or screenshot of that trainer to the Bulbagarden Archives.

* Complete every Trainer Class article from Generation IV to the project standard.


==Structure of an article==
====Key templates====
The structure of every Trainer Class article should go as followed:
* {{template|CharInfobox}} — main infobox for Project articles.
===Main Section===
* {{template|Project CharacterDex notice}} — to be placed at the bottom of all Project articles.
This section should be untitled, at the start of the article. It should contain a general description of the trainer’s appearance and personality. There should be a brief history of their encounter in the game, such as where they can be first located, and where they are most located. Any other information that can’t be classified in the other sections can go here.

===Appearances===
