He is the [[Frontier Brain]] of the Battle Factory in the [[Sinnoh]] and [[Johto]] regions. It is suggested he is very intelligent, as he mentions inventing a machine that analyzes the player's Pokémon. If he is defeated he will hand over the Factory Print.

Like the {{player}}, he uses [[rental Pokémon]]. Therefore, all of his Pokémon are random for both the Gold and Silver Prints, so he can use any Pokémon except for those that are not admissible in the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}}; these include {{p|Mewtwo}}, {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Kyogre}}, {{p|Groudon}}, {{p|Rayquaza}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Giratina}}, {{p|Phione}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, {{p|Darkrai}}, {{p|Shaymin}}, and {{p|Arceus}}.

===Quotes===
==In the spin-off games==
====Initial battle====
===[[Pokémon Masters EX]]===
*Before battle
{{main|Thorton (Masters)}}
:''"Bzweeeeep! Sorry, don't mind me. What I'm using is an invention of mine. It's my data-analyzing machine It's telling me what you've rented for this match. I see! You've rented <Pokémon> , <Pokémon>, and <Pokémon>. I have to say, that's a good setup. Like, say, [random number] percent? Oh, don't let that number concern you! All righty, let's get going!"''
Thorton forms a [[sync pair]] with {{p|Bronzong}} and {{p|Magnezone}} in [[Pokémon Masters EX]]. Thorton became a playable sync pair since the game's release.


*Defeating the player
{{PairDex/h|Factory}}
:''"See? Just as analyzed."''

{{PairDex|036|Thorton|trainerlink=Thorton (Masters)#Magnezone|trainerimg=Thorton|0462|Magnezone|Steel|Fighting|Field|6|Variety Sync Pair Scout}}
*Being defeated
:''"Whoa! You sure showed me!"''
 
*After being defeated
:''"Hmm... I got handed the loss here. It's not making me happy at all, losing. Even though I'm not happy, I did glean some useful data, I suppose. That makes me glad I battled you. So, did you get to like those Pokémon you rented? As a {{tc|Factory Head}}, it would sure make me happy if you did. Next time, come back with different rental Pokémon."''
 
====Rematch====
*Before battle
:''"Bzweeeeep! Let's see what I can see about you through my data-analyzing machine. So, what have you rented for this match...? I see! You've rented <Pokémon> , <Pokémon>, and <Pokémon>. I have to say, that's a good setup. It's a combination of friendship with cooperation all around. I'd say it's like [random number] percent? Oh, don't let that number concern you! All righty, let's get going! No losing for me this time!"''
 
*Being defeated
:''"Whoa! You sure showed me!"''
 
*After being defeated
:''"Hmm... I got handed another loss. It's not making me happy at all, this. In fact, I'm stewing here. I thought I learned a lot about Pokémon since I lost to you. But that's all right. Some things you learn from winning. But some things you learn by losing. I hope you'll keep renting our Pokémon and give me a chance to redeem myself!"''

Thorton first appears along with his fellow [[Frontier Brain]]s, {{FB|Tower Tycoon|Palmer}}, {{FB|Arcade Star|Dahlia}}, and {{FB|Hall Matron|Argenta}} in a meeting; afterward they go back to their facilities. Thorton later appears at his facility, the {{gdis|Battle Factory|IV}}, where he watches {{adv|Platinum}} battle through it. Eventually, Platinum manages to get enough wins to allow her to challenge him and they begin battling.

Eventually, Platinum manages to get enough wins to allow her to challenge him and they begin battling.


Due to the rules of the Battle Factory, the two use [[rental Pokémon]] to Battle each other instead of their own Pokémon. Despite Thorton having much confidence in his battling skills and knowledge, Platinum proves superior to him in both categories, allowing her to defeat him. Angered at his defeat, Thorton throws a temper tantrum until Argenta snaps him out of it by slapping him in the face.

Later, he is given a Team Galactic camera robot that [[Riley]] obtained on [[Iron Island]] and is tasked with fixing it. Eventually, he succeeds, but is left exhausted in the process.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* In English, his title is the only Frontier Brain title held by another person, {{FB|Factory Head|Noland}}.
* In the English translations of the games, Thorton and [[Noland]] are the only [[Frontier Brain]]s who share a {{pkmn|Trainer}} class.
** However, both {{FB|Tower Tycoon|Palmer}} and {{FB|Salon Maiden|Anabel}} share the same title in the Japanese version: {{tc|Tower Tycoon}}.
** However, both [[Palmer]] and [[Anabel]] share the same class—{{tc|Tower Tycoon}}—in the Japanese versions.
* Currently, Thorton has the highest amount of cards in the TCG of any Frontier Brain.
