Pokémon Trainer

Pokémon Trainer is the term commonly used for a person who catches, occasionally names, and trains several different kinds and types of Pokémon.

Pokemon Trainers start their journey at age of 10 when they get their first pokemon. The starter Pokemon that Pokemon Trainers receive depends on what town they live in and which region they live in.

Most Pokémon trainers have a common goal: to be the ultimate Pokémon trainer, which is only obtainable by defeating the Elite Four and becoming the Pokémon Champion.

There are almost as many Pokémon trainers as there are Pokémon. Each one uses different Pokémon, a different fighting style, and a different attitude. There are usually different levels of Pokemon Trainers in terms of difficulty, Ace Trainers often being the strongest.

There are usually Pokemon Trainers almost anywhere that isn't deserted. Pokemon Trainers usually reside and battle on routes in order to weaken the protagonist/player and slow them down. Pokemon Trainers are almost always found in towns, routes, buildings, and the ever so infamous Victory Road. They also inhabit Gyms.

Few, however, succeed in this aim, but Ash Ketchum, the male protagonist of the anime and movies, never gives up. He travels the Pokémon world in a mission to catch every single different Pokémon and add it to his/her pokédex. By his side is always his trusty electric mouse, Pikachu. In Unova, the player is 16.

Trivia

 * Even though Ash states you have to be 10 to have a trainers license, Unova allows pre-schoolers to become trainers.
