A '''Gamer''' (Japanese: '''ギャンブラー''' ''Gambler'') is a type of [[Pokémon Trainer]] that first debuted in the [[Generation I]] games. In Generations I, {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|VII}}, they are depicted as old men with dice and a dice cup. In [[Generation IV]], they are depicted as young men in trenchcoats flipping coins. | |||

While they were known as '''Gamblers''' in Generation I, this was changed to Gamer in {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen|s}}, [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu!, and Let's Go, Eevee!]] to avoid gambling references. As a result, some jokes were lost, such as in FireRed and LeafGreen when Gamer Rich describes himself as a "rambling, gaming dude" instead of a "rambling, gambling dude." In the English releases of {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, the Trainer class name was changed once again to '''PI''' ({{wp|private investigator}}), likely because of the trenchcoat's stereotypical association with detectives allowing for hiding the censorship, but all their dialogue still revolves around gambling. PIs can also appear in [[Johto]]'s {{gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}}. | While they were known as '''Gamblers''' in Generation I, this was changed to Gamer in {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen|s}}, [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu!, and Let's Go, Eevee!]] to avoid gambling references.
