==Generation I==

A '''Pokémon Trainer''' (Japanese: '''ポケモントレーナー''' ''Pokémon Trainer'') is a person who [[captured Pokémon|catches]], [[Pokémon training|trains]], cares for, and [[Pokémon battle|battles]] Pokémon. The majority of people within the known [[Pokémon world]] are all Trainers.

Many Trainers leave home at about the age of 10, sometimes accompanied with a [[starter Pokémon]] obtained from a [[Pokémon professor]].  Many will travel around one or more [[region]]s, doing such things as gathering information for a [[Pokédex]], perfecting their technique, collecting [[badge]]s, and working to become a [[Pokémon master]].  No matter what their specialties or aims, there is one code that they all follow - when two Trainers make eye contact, they must have a battle.
===Beta Trainer Class===

Pokémon Trainers come in all sorts of [[List of trainer classes|classes]]: [[Youngster]]s tend to stay close to home, and [[Bug Catcher]]s swarm about the {{t|Bug}}-filled forests; [[Hiker]]s traverse mountains and caves, and [[Cool Trainer]]s aspire to compete in the [[Pokémon League]].  A Trainer's class may reflect their Pokémon of choice, the areas they prefer, their technique, and their level of skill; however, even among their classes, Trainers may vary greatly. 
* [[Pokémon Professor|Pokémon Prof.]]**


Many towns have a [[Gym]] run by a strong and experienced Trainer known as a [[Gym Leader]].  Other Trainers may challenge a Gym Leader, and if the Gym Leader is defeated in battle, he or she awards them a Pokémon League [[badge]].  However, the Gym Leader may award the Trainer a badge for other reasons, since the badge is a symbol of the Trainer's skill.  For example, [[Ash Ketchum]] won several of his early badges by refusing to take an unfair advantage or going out of his way to save a gym, which proved himself as an exceptional Trainer outside of battle.

(** Trainer Class unnamed until Generation III)


Above the level of Gym Leaders are the [[Elite Four]] Trainers and [[Pokémon champion|Pokémon League champions]]. There are also a special class of trainers known as the [[Frontier Brain]]s, but they are unique to [[Pokémon Emerald Version|Pokémon Emerald]], and part of a privately owned institution known as the [[Battle Frontier]], and so may not be recognized by the League. These Trainers are considered the cream of the crop, and can only be challenged if a Trainer has met requirements such as winning eight badges.  Should a Trainer defeat other Trainers at this level, it is not uncommon for him or her to be offered a place in these high ranks.

However, just as there are many Trainers with noble goals and lawful methods, there are also corrupt Trainers, including a number of [[Villainous teams|villainous teams]].  These Trainers often use powerful Pokémon to take what they want and further their plans.

*For [[DP005]], [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about the Pokémon Trainer.  He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about it: さあ10さい　ぼくもわたしも　トレーナー ''Sā jussai, boku mo watashi mo torēnā.'' "Ah, the age 10; we will all be Trainers."
