What type of trainer are you?

niedude

Don't forget to grin
The Breeder and Egg hatcher are basically the same thing, though since I only read up until the Emerald saga I may be wrong.
Same goes for the battler and champion. Exact same thing.

Anyway, if I were to put myself in any category, I would have said professor up until I started forgetting pokemon types left and right, among other things. 5th gen complicated my brain even worse.

Im a crappy trainer, I have never completed my pokedex and stopped trying ages ago, and Im only an average battler.

Im a lot like Emerald in the sense that I am not good in obtaining and keeping the pokemon, Im good at using them. Somewhat.

But I have never won more than 1 SIlver Medal in the Battle frontier. And at the battle factory, no less.

The trainer(Good at training lots of different pokemon for all sorts of battle situations)
The Coordinater
The frontier enthusiast

trainer because i like to train many pokemon i like, coordinator because i like contests and the berries and such and frontier enthusiast, because it was awesome in emerald, though i find the high amount of battling annoying
 

Profesco

gone gently
The Breeder
The Professor
The Frontier Enthusiast

These fit me best. I've been a "professor" since I first got here; my usertitle way back then was "PhD in Pokology." I've also placed in the top 3-5 in the annual Pokemon Exams held by Black Marauder, wahahaha~ I love breeding and do it well, and I love Emerald's BF (not so much Platinum, but it's still good) and excel at all the different forms of strategy used there.

Based off the Pokemon Special series, the tv show, and the video games, we know there are lots of different kinds of trainers out there.

Which one are you?

The trainer(Good at training lots of different pokemon for all sorts of battle situations)
The champion(pretty much undefeatable or very good and expert trainers)
The breeder
The egg hatcher
The Pokedex completer
The Coordinater
The Ranger
The Professor (vast knowledge)
The pokathelonists
The battler( Battles and is extreamely knowledgeable in all situations).
The frontier enthusiast
or anything else.

I'm alot (we all probably are), but I'd say I'm mostly The battler and maybe the professor. You guys?

Defenitely the prof. there's barely anyything related to the main pokemon games that I don't know. As long as it's not hoenn. I thought Fortree gym used the grass type while recently rewatching advanced challenge. o_O

Champion and battler. i've only wiped out once agaist Witchney *shudders* but back then I was underlevelled and was a noob. I bring out the best in my pokemon and make sure they get no less than the best moves and great natures.
I do really like the Battle Factory, really expanded my knowledge on all pokemons battle skill and I don't need to EV train etc.

And they're called pokéathletes not pokéthlonists.

Breeder, of flygons only.
Lazy Offensive Trainer, I seldom battle, but when I do I like Pokemon that can hit hard, or are fast an can U-Turn out to a different power Pokemon (hence why I love Flygon, Ninjask, and Yanmega)

Battling's the heart and soul of Pokemon, after all, and I love it. Breeding follows naturally if you're a battler. ;) I love catching Pokemon and then training them to complete the 'Dex; I've never actually completed a National Dex before, but I will in HG! I won't call myself a champion, but as a true Pokemon trainer always says, I'll be one someday! :D

Acquired a lot of information over the years (and Serebii), so professor. You could call me a semi-retired Frontier enthusiast. I loved it to death in Emerald, but Pt/HG's isn't that good. Still fine, and still compels me to conquer it, but it didn't live up =/

*Is also a conqueror of the entire Pokeathlon* ^_^
 

deathseer

Oh, u mad bro?
A trainer with a bit of style. My Pokemon moves are what I think would either best help them or what helps their battle style.

In addition, I guess I am sort of a veteran trainer as well. I seen every facet of battling and nothing usually surprises me.

I'm a specialist trainer.

I use one type and one type only. Though I'm not skilled with the other types of pokemon, I know Fighting Types inside and out, and can effectivly use them in any situation. We hit hard, and we hit fast. (You don't want you enemies running for help, now do you?)

I usually breed for the pokemon I want, or catch it at a really early age (low level) and train it up to lv. 100 (LEGIT. Candy Cloning is lazy) I like to take care of my pokemon, and raise them with love and consideration, as if they were really alive.

I like to battle as much as I like to raise and train my pokemon, especially my team. (Most notably, my Hitmonchan and Medicham. They have never been removed from my team in their entire lives.)

I also enjoy Pokeathelon quite a bit.

Too Long; Didn't Read: Specialist Trainer in Fighting types, Breeder, Pokeathelonist

or anything else.

I'm the things in bold, I'd say. I've beaten all types of contests in the Master rank on R/S and Platinum. I'm also a pretty decent competitive battler, but I wouldn't say I'm good enough to bold the champion part.
 

AZX612

On my own here we go
Battler
Coordinator
Ranger
Breeder
Professor

And going with the "Anything Else" Category

Ace Trainer - All Out Offense. No Defense/Status Moves/Strategy. Too Cocky/Over Confident for his/her own good = P

Or at least thats how an Ace Trainer appears to me, other people may have different opinions.
 

King Slaking

Slaking esque

I think I'm more of a collector. I just want to collect as many Pokemon as I can find. Actually come to think of it, I don't really think I have any aim at all in playing Pokemon. I just play it to see what kind of Pokemon I'll get, LOL.

I am the abusive one.

Only the ones worthy enough can join my team, others I will punish and slap for being not worthy enough.
