Trainer Card level

Trainer stars are stars that appear on the Trainer Card when the player has completed an in-game task, such as entering the Hall of Fame or completing the Pokédex. The Trainer Card will change immediately on this task's completion, and the player will never be notified; they must notice the difference in their Trainer Card when they next check it. The Trainer Card will change color when each star is obtained, and the stars can be earned in any order after the game has been started.

Trainer stars were introduced in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire and appear in all Generation III and Generation IV games. Though the achievements and colors differ slightly between Ruby and Sapphire, FireRed and LeafGreen, and Emerald, when linked players view each other's cards the color will be consistent for Generation III games—a Trainer from FireRed and LeafGreen with one star will be said to all players to have a Green card, while a Trainer from Ruby, Sapphire, or Emerald with one star will be said to all players to have a Bronze card. In the Generation IV games, however, color is consistent from the point of view of the game: a Trainer from HeartGold and SoulSilver who has three stars will be seen as a Silver card from the point of view of Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, although from HeartGold and SoulSilver's perspective the Trainer Card is a Violet card. Likewise, the Sinnoh Badge case, if the Trainer Card viewed is that of a HeartGold or SoulSilver game, will always be empty.

While Trainer stars themselves do not appear in Pokémon Black and White onwards, the Trainer Card still changes color with the completion of certain tasks.

Although the Trainer stars and color changes are for the most part aesthetic, certain NPCs like the Pokémon Center Nurse change their greetings to acknowledge the player's achievement of obtaining 4 or 5 stars.
