A '''Pokémon trainer''' (Japanese: '''ポケモントレーナー''' ''Pokémon trainer'') is a person who catches, trains, cares for, and battles [[Pokémon]].  Many trainers leave home at a young age and initiate battle with any other trainer with whom they make eye contact.
A '''Pokémon trainer''' (Japanese: '''ポケモントレーナー''' ''Pokémon trainer'') is a person who [[captured Pokémon|catches]], trains, cares for, and [[Pokémon battle|battles]] [[Pokémon]].  The majority of people within the known [[Pokémon world]] are all trainers.


Pokémon trainers come in all sorts of [[Trainer class|classes]]: [[Youngster]]s tend to stay close to home, and [[Bug Catcher]]s swarm about the {{t|Bug}}-filled forests.  [[Hiker]]s traverse mountains and caves, and [[Cooltrainer]]s aspire to compete in the [[Pokémon League]].
Many trainers leave home at about the age of 10, sometimes accompanied with a [[starter Pokémon]] obtained from a [[Pokémon professor]].  Many will travel around one or more [[region]]s, doing such things as gathering information for a [[Pokédex]], perfecting their technique, collecting [[badge]]s, and working to become a [[Pokémon master]].  No matter what their specialties or aims, there is one code that they all follow - when two trianers make eye contact, they must have a battle.


Many towns have a [[Gym]] with a [[Gym Leader]], a trainer who, when defeated in battle, awards a Pokémon League [[Badge]].  Higher up on the chain are the [[Elite Four]] trainers, and the [[Pokémon Champion|Pokémon League Champion]].
Pokémon trainers come in all sorts of [[List of trainer classes|classes]]: [[Youngster]]s tend to stay close to home, and [[Bug Catcher]]s swarm about the {{t|Bug}}-filled forests; [[Hiker]]s traverse mountains and caves, and [[Cool Trainer]]s aspire to compete in the [[Pokémon League]]. A trainer's class may reflect their Pokémon of choice, the areas they prefer, their technique, and their level of skill; however, even among their classes, trainers may vary greatly. 


There are also [[Villainous teams|villainous teams]] of Pokémon trainers.  These trainers use their Pokémon to take what they want and further their goals.
Many towns have a [[Gym]] run by a strong and experienced trainer known as a [[Gym Leader]].  Other trainers may challenge a Gym Leader, and if the Gym Leader is defeated in battle, he or she awards them a Pokémon League [[badge]].  However, the Gym Leader may award the trainer a badge for other reasons, since the badge is a symbol of the trainer's skill.  For example, [[Ash Ketchum]] won several of his early badges by refusing to take an unfair advantage or going out of his way to save a gym, which proved himself as an exceptional trainer outside of battle.
 
Above the level of Gym Leaders are the [[Elite Four]] trainers, [[Pokémon champion|Pokémon League champions]], and [[Frontier Brain]]s.  These trainers are considered the cream of the crop, and can only be challenged if a trainer has met requirements such as winning eight badges.  Should a trainer defeat other trainers at this level, it is not uncommon for him or her to be offered a place in these high ranks.
 
However, just as there are many trainers with noble goals and lawful methods, there are also corrupt trainers, including a number of [[Villainous teams|villainous teams]].  These trainers often use powerful Pokémon to take what they want and further their plans.
