Pokémon Watcher: Difference between revisions

A '''Pokémon watcher''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンウォッチャー''' ''Pokémon watcher'') is a [[Human|person]] who studies {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, observing them {{pkmn2|caught|under the ownership}} of a [[Pokémon Trainer]] and in their {{pkmn2|wild|natural habitat}}.

Pokémon watchers dedicate themselves to studying {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, their habits, behaviors, and interactions. They travel the {{pkmn|world}} looking for all kinds of Pokémon so they can observe and study their characteristics and abilities. They also search for new, undiscovered Pokémon. As a result, watchers have a broad knowledge about Pokémon.

Pokémon watching includes carrying out field research, monitoring a particular species of Pokémon for long periods, and gathering background information. As well as observing and studying Pokémon, watchers may spend time writing research articles and reports to be reviewed by [[Pokémon Professor]]s.

Watchers can also {{pkmn|training|raise Pokémon}} to help them with their work, usually training Pokémon with skills such as good eyesight or hearing, which may come in handy when trying to locate certain Pokémon. In addition, they are able to evaluate a Pokémon's {{pkmn|food|diet}} and tell if they are healthy or not through the examination of their fur and the effectiveness of their [[move]]s. They usually carry notebooks where they can record their observations and other equipment such as binoculars.

Pokémon watchers, like some Pokémon researchers, are known to be eccentric due to their overwhelming fascination with Pokémon. The famous Pokémon watcher [[Quincy T. Quackenpoker|Dr. Quackenpoker]], for instance, devoted his entire life to studying {{p|Magikarp}}.
