PI (Trainer class): Difference between revisions

A Gambler, Gamer, or PI (Japanese: ギャンブラー Gambler) is a type of Pokémon Trainer that first debuted in the Generation I games. They are generally depicted as old men with dice and a dice cup. In Generation IV, they are young men in trenchcoats with coins.

In the past, they were known as Gamblers, but this was changed due to ethical reasons to Gamer in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen. This occasionally caused slight problems, such as in FireRed and LeafGreen when a Gamer describes himself as a "rambling, gaming dude" instead of a "rambling, gambling dude." In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl and Pokémon Platinum, they are called PIs, implying that they are detectives rather than gamblers, but their dialog is all still based around gambling.

They use various Pokémon, but tend to rely on luck rather than skill. They use one-hit KO moves such as Horn Drill, along with moves that have random effects, such as Metronome.
