Pokémon Trainer's Choice

Construction!

This page/section is currently under construction.

Pokémon Trainer's Choice is a question and answer segment of the Pokémon anime and is exclusive to the English dub of the Pokémon: Advanced Challenge and Pokémon: Advanced Battle series. It succeeded the Who's That Pokémon? segment after "Watt's with Wattson?" episode.

The segments of Pokémon Trainer's Choice would often present a question to the viewers with different answers given to the situations. These questions ranged from type-effectiveness against another Pokémon to which Pokémon of a given group was the heaviest. During the airing of the segments, they were often despised by fans, as many of the early segments presented major errors, such as getting type-effectiveness wrong, making it so certain questions would either have no answer or multiple answers.

The Pokémon Trainer's Choice segments ran from RS041: What You Seed is What You Get till RS146: Pasta La Vista! before removing the segments altogether.

Errors

• In "Love at First Flight", Plusle is stated to be the best choice to battle Mudkip. However, another option, Roselia, is a better choice as it both resists and is super-effective against the Water-type.
• In "Zigzag Zangoose", Dewgong is stated to be the best choice to battle Ninjask. However, another option, Nosepass, is a better choice as it both resists the Flying-type and is super-effective against both the Bug and Flying-type.
• In "Cheer Pressure", Torkoal is stated to be the best choice to battle Shiftry. However, another option, Taillow, is also super-effective against Shiftry.
• In "Game Winning Assist", Combusken is stated to be the best choice to battle Kirlia. However, Combusken is actually the worst choice as it is weak to the Psychic-type. The other choices do neutral damage to Kirlia.
• In "Going, Going, Yawn", Seviper is stated to be the best choice to battle Forretress. However, Seviper is actually the worst choice as Forretress is immune to the Poison-type. The other choices do neutral damage to Forretress. Forretress is also misspelled as Foretress.
• In "Going for a Spinda", Surskit is stated to be the best choice to battle Seedot. However, another option, Delibird, is a better choice as it both resists the Grass-type and both of its types are super-effective against the Grass-type.
• In "Manectric Charge", Larvitar is stated to be the best choice to battle Manectric. However, another option, Swampert, is also a good choice as it is immune to the Electric-type as well.
• In "Disaster of Disguise", Chinchou is stated to be the best choice to battle Crawdaunt. However, another option, Volbeat is also a good choice as it is also super-effective against Crawdaunt's Dark-type.
• In RS062: Disguise Da Limit, Spheal is stated to be the best choice to battle Wooper. However, another option, Zubat, is a better choice as it is immune to Wooper's Ground-type.
• In "The Bicker The Better", Onix is stated to be the best choice to battle Ariados. However, another option, Blaziken is also a good choice as it is also super-effective against Ariados's Bug-type. Onix is also misspelled as Onyx.
• In "Hokey Poké Balls", Combusken is stated to be the best choice to battle Meditite. However, Combusken is weak to Meditite's Psychic-type, making it incorrect. Another choice, Beautifly, is a better answer as it is effective against the Psychic-type and also has a double resistance to the Fighting-type. Beautifly also has the name of Nuzleaf instead.
• In "Me, Myself And Time", Crobat is stated to be the best choice to battle Illumise. However, another option, Togetic, is also super-effective against Illumise.
• In "A Fan with a Plan", Seviper is stated to be the evolved form of Arbok. This is incorrect as Arbok is not known to evolve further and Seviper is not part of an evolutionary line at all.
• In "Cruisin' for a Losin'", Camerupt is stated to be the best choice to battle Ludicolo. However, Camerupt is actually the worst choice as it is weak to the Water-type. The other choices do neutral damage to Ludicolo.
• In "Take This House and Shuppet", Exploud is stated to be the best choice to battle Tyrogue. However, Exploud is weak to Tyrogue's Fighting-type, making it incorrect. Another choice, Dustox, is a better answer as it is the only choice that isn't weak to the Fighting-type. Sealeo also has the name of Nuzleaf instead.
• In "Who's Flying Now?", Lombre is stated to be the best choice to battle Magby. However, another option, Solrock, is a better choice as it both is super-effective and resists the Fire-type.
• In "Sky High Gym Battle!", Lapras is stated to be the best choice to battle Baltoy. However, all of the options have an advantage against the Ground-type. If one answer was to be chosen though, Ledian would be the correct answer because it is immune to the Ground-type and is also super-effective against the Psychic-type.
• In "Pokéblock, Stock and Berry", Makuhita is stated to be the best choice to battle Spoink. However, Makuhita is weak to Spoink's Psychic-type, making it incorrect. Another choice, Swampert, is a better answer as it is the only choice that isn't weak to the Psychic-type.
