Paul's only concern in his [[Pokémon]] is of their strength in {{pkmn|battle}}. He strongly dislikes weak Pokémon and has a habit of releasing them if they do not meet his high expectations. To this effect, Paul always checks new {{pkmn2|captured|captures}} with his [[Pokédex]] to learn what [[move]]s they know and trains the Pokémon he keeps harshly to make them strong. He feels that bonding with Pokémon would only turn them into slackers. He also has a habit of scolding his Pokémon for losing to opponents he feels they could have beaten, and this was a recurring trait when he owned {{AP|Chimchar}}. He also scolded his {{TP|Paul|Honchkrow}} when it lost to Ash's newly evolved {{AP|Staraptor}} in [[DP118]]. As a person, he is very callous and even at times brutal, especially in {{pkmn|battle}}; and as a result, he has been shown to have very little emotion other than an occasional rough smile. | Paul's only concern in his [[Pokémon]] is of their strength in {{pkmn|battle}}.

Sometimes, he gives some of his Pokémon to his brother, [[Reggie]], for temporary training and caretaking, as revealed in ''[[DP066|Lost Leader Strategy!]]''. Paul also disagrees with his brother for giving up on being a [[Pokémon Trainer]] after failing to get the [[Symbol|Brave Symbol]]. He feels his brother's approach and view on this to be wrong.

In [[DP128]], he challenged {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}} to a full battle in hopes that he'd be able to do what his brother never could. However, Paul lost to Brandon without being able to knockout a single one of his Pokémon. | ||
At the beginning it was assumed that Paul was a trainer just starting out. However this was proven false in ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training]]'' where he revealed that he had already traveled through [[Kanto]], [[Johto]] and [[Hoenn]], participating in their respective {{pkmn|League}}s before returning to [[Sinnoh]].

Paul feels that Ash is a weak trainer and can easily bring on Ash's anger by stating it. Ash's very different attitude towards [[Happiness|being friends]] with Pokémon also provides much fuel to their rivalry. Paul barely recognizes their rivalry and Ash as a trainer and ignores Ash's speeches about loving his Pokémon. Ash on the other hand has a near hatred of Paul that flares up at Paul's indifference to his Pokémon. However Ash accepts that Paul is a strong trainer but considers himself on the same par as him. | Paul feels that Ash is a weak trainer and can easily bring on Ash's anger by stating it.
