A '''Pokémon Connoisseur''' (Japanese:'''ポケモンソムリエ''' ''Pokémon {{wp|Sommelier}}'') or '''Pokémon Connaisseuse''' (Japanese:'''ポケモンソムリエール''' ''Pokémon Sommelière'') is a [[Pokémon Trainer]] who specializes in identifying the compatibility between {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and their Trainers, much like how real connoisseurs and sommeliers identify the compatibility between wines and various foods, as well as the fine arts. They use their knowledge and experience to diagnose the bond between Trainer and Pokémon, and from there give advice on how to strengthen that bond. They can also help choose what Pokémon would be compatible for beginning Trainers who have not yet chosen their first Pokémon as seen in ''[[BW080|Clash of the Connoisseurs!]]''.

Pokémon Connoisseurs

A Pokémon Connoisseur (Japanese: ポケモンソムリエ Pokémon Sommelier) or Pokémon Connaisseuse (Japanese: ポケモンソムリエール Pokémon Sommelière) is a person who specializes in identifying the compatibility between Pokémon Trainers and their Pokémon. They are not well-known outside of the Unova region.

Role

Pokémon Connoisseurs use their knowledge and experience to diagnose the bond between Trainer and Pokémon, and from there give advice on how to strengthen their partnership. The process of checking Pokémon and Trainer compatibility is known as an evaluation. Connoisseurs can also help choose what Pokémon would be compatible for beginning Trainers who have not yet chosen their first Pokémon as seen in Clash of the Connoisseurs!.

When sharing a strong bond with their Pokémon, Connoisseurs will refer to them as their premium brand (Japanese: ビンテージ vintage), however, the term is not used continuously in the English dub as it is in the original Japanese version, and is often replaced with other lines. Connoisseurs also use the term for other Trainer's Pokémon as well, as seen in the Japanese version of Battling For The Love of Bug-Types! when Cilan concluded that Pikachu was Ash's premium brand. Additionally, premium brand Pokémon are not limited to humans, as two Pokémon who are in love can be each others' premium brand.
