| | '''Pokémon Change''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンチェンジ''' ''Pokémon Change'') is {{ga|Red|Pokémon Trainer}}'s down special move in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]. Unlike other special moves being exclusive to one [[Pokémon]] (for instance, {{m|Rock Smash}} only being available to {{p|Charizard}}), Pokémon Change is universal between {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Ivysaur}}, and {{p|Charizard}} (as is [[Final Smash#Triple Finish|Triple Finish]]). |

|
| The '''Pokémon Trainer''' (Japanese: '''ポケモントレーナー''' ''Pokémon Trainer'') is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''.
| | ==Effect== |
| | When sent out, each Pokémon is initially granted 120 points of energy called stamina. One point of stamina is deducted for every second a Pokémon is in battle, thus allowing for a maximum of approximately 2 minutes of normal performance. Executing an attack also drains 1 stamina point. When a Pokémon's stamina reaches 30% (or 36 points), their stance will change to signal oncoming fatigue. Once stamina reaches 0, the Pokémon's attacks drop in effectiveness. The stamina counter will reset when the Pokémon is knocked out. |
|
| |
|
| ==Core mechanics==
| | Pokémon Change mimics [[Pokémon anime|anime]]/[[Pokémon manga|manga]]-style battling by [[Recall|switching out]] to the next available Pokémon to let the previously used one rest. This is reflected in that while not in battle, each Pokémon will regenerate 2 points of stamina per second until restored to 120. |
| Unlike any other character, Pokémon Trainer doesn't actually fight his opponents himself. Instead, he sends out his [[party|Pokémon team]] of {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Ivysaur}}, and {{p|Charizard}} to fight on his behalf, each with its own set of moves, strengths, and weaknesses. The Trainer is able to switch between the three Pokémon using the Down-Special move, [[Pokémon Change]], which each Pokémon has access to. If a Pokémon fights for too long it will gradually weaken. The Pokémon Trainer's [[Final Smash]], {{DL|Final Smash|Triple Finish}}, is performed by all three Pokémon at once.
| |
|
| |
|
| During a fight, the Pokémon Trainer can be seen in the background, using hand signals and commands to direct his Pokémon, and running across the screen (on large stages) so he can be near his Pokémon at all times. When his Pokémon are defeated, he remains in the background, but pulls his hat over his eyes and assumes a defeated posture.
| | While switching out, the user is temporarily immune to any on-screen attacks. Damage percentage is still carried over. Effects such as increased or decreased size held by the previous Pokémon will ''not'' be carried over during Pokémon Change ([[Final Smash]] wielding being one exception). Pokémon Change cannot be activated in midair. |
|
| |
|
| ==Pokémon==
| | Pokémon Change is disabled in [[The Subspace Emissary]] until the player obtains Ivysaur and Charizard, respectively. |

| Squirtle is a fast, lightweight fighter and uses various attacks using its shell and jets of water. It can use {{m|Waterfall}} to dash upward on a wave of water to recover from falls, {{m|Withdraw}} to retreat into its shell and propel itself forward while shooting water out; which makes up for its below-average dash speed. It also uses {{m|Water Gun}} to push enemies backward with a chargeable stream of water, but does no damage at all (unless fired without charging it up, though it also shortens the range). Because of its lightweight build, it excels in aerial combat and is hard to combo, but is easy to knock around and KO. Squirtle is also the shortest-ranged of the 3 Pokémon and needs to be in close range to deal damage, due to its small size and poor reach. It uses {{m|Hydro Pump}} in the Pokémon Trainer's Final Smash, {{DL|Final Smash|Triple Finish}}.
| |
|
| |
|
| In the {{sbw|Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary|Subspace Emissary}}, Squirtle is the first Pokémon to appear alongside the Pokémon Trainer. It is sent out to assist a distraught {{wb|Lucas}}.

| |
| In many ways, Ivysaur is the balance between the heavyweight, hard-hitting {{p|Charizard}} and the lightweight, agile {{p|Squirtle}}. Despite this, it lacks the heavy-hitting moves of Charizard and the fast attack rate of Squirtle. It is very good at racking up damage percentages with its attacks, but has a very hard time KOing its opponent since its strongest finishing moves are too slow to pose a threat. Ivysaur especially suffers in aerial combat and recovery. Despite these flaws, Ivysaur can be used to irritate its foes and rack up damage with its attacks (especially Bullet Seed). Its throws are decent, as its forward and down throws can leave the opponent vulnerable to combos. It uses mostly [[physical]] {{type|Grass}} attacks, such as {{m|Bullet Seed}}, a rapidly upward-hitting move, and {{m|Vine Whip}}, a tether recovery move that shoots vines out to latch onto edges of a stage and pull Ivysaur up. Like all tether recoveries, however, Vine Whip can be {{tt|edgehogged|when a player occupies the ledge, preventing a recovering player from using it}}, sending Ivysaur to its doom. It also uses the projectile attack {{m|Razor Leaf}}. It uses {{m|SolarBeam}} in the Pokémon Trainer's Final Smash, {{DL|Final Smash|Triple Finish}}.
| |
| | |
| In the {{sbw|Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary|Subspace Emissary}}, Ivysaur is found by the Pokémon Trainer, Squirtle, and Lucas after an encounter with {{wb|Ness}}'s captor, {{smw|Wario}}. This allows the Pokémon Trainer to use [[Pokémon Change]] in the story mode.

| |
| Charizard is the Pokémon Trainer's powerhouse, boasting heavy-hitting moves, above-average dash speed (slightly faster than Pikachu), and long-range attacks. Charizard's drawbacks include large weight, subpar aerial game, and slow walking speed. Its varied arsenal of attacks includes {{m|Rock Smash}}, a powerful frontal attack, and {{m|Fly}}, a recovery move that sends Charizard skyward and allows it to glide. It can also use Flamethrower to attack from a short distance, but its power decreases over time. It uses {{m|Fire Blast}} in the Pokémon Trainer's Final Smash, {{DL|Final Smash|Triple Finish}}.
| |
| | |
| In the {{sbw|Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary|Subspace Emissary}}, Charizard is found shortly after Ivysaur, completing the Trainer's team.

| |
| The Pokémon Trainer is first encountered by {{wb|Lucas}} in the Ruined Zoo. For most of the game, the two are paired together. Pokémon Trainer's mission is to capture Charizard and Ivysaur while Lucas's is to save {{wb|Ness}}. On their way to {{sbw|the Ruins}}, the two are ambushed by {{smw|Wario}}, who is eventually defeated by the two. Later in {{sbw|The Ruined Hall}}, they are attacked by {{sbw|Galleom}}. Once defeated, it sets off a time bomb. Lucas saves the Pokémon Trainer, and they are then both saved by {{wk|Meta Knight}} who carries them away from the explosion, which sucks up Wario's trophy into Subspace. From then on, the two join Meta Knight, {{sbw|Marth}}, and {{sbw|Ike}} on their quest to take down the {{sbw|Subspace Army}}.

| ==Trivia==
| |
| * The Pokémon Trainer is a [[Cross-canon counterparts|cross-canon counterpart]] of {{ga|Red}}, specifically based on his appearance in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}.
| |
| * In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the Pokémon Trainer bears a few similarities to {{sbw|Olimar (SSBB)|Olimar}} and {{sbw|Zelda (SSBB)|Zelda}}, two other fighters. Olimar can also command creatures to fight for him, both also have Tether Recoveries (but only with Ivysaur), and they can both also change whoever they are using. Unlike Olimar, Zelda can change between playable characters ({{sbw|Shiek (SSBB)|Shiek}}) with her Down Special Move, similar to the way Pokémon Trainer does.
| |
| * Despite having above-average dash speed, Charizard has the slowest walking speed in Brawl.
| |
| * Ivysaur sheds leaves as it moves.
| |
| * If Ivysaur is grabbed, the opposing character grabs its bulb rather than its whole body, even when grabbing in front of it.
| |
| * Squirtle, tied with Olimar, is the smallest playable character in the game.
| |
| * Even though Squirtle is a Water-type Pokémon with the ability to swim, it can still drown when swimming in water for too long.
| |
| * The Pokémon Trainer and the rest of the fighters (excluding villains) are defeated instantly in the SSE upon reaching Tabuu and being hit by his Off Waves. Because he does not fight opponents directly, this is the only time in the entire game when the Trainer himself is KO'd.
| |
| * There are unused animations of the Pokémon Trainer jumping and landing in the game.
| |
| * When playing the [[Subspace Emissary]], the Pokémon Trainer starts out only with Squirtle, and must catch Ivysaur and Charizard along the course of the adventure.
