If you were looking for the book, see Pokémon Academy (book).

A Pokémon academy is a school where students and Trainers can learn more about Pokémon. Most beginning Trainers visit at least one of them, and common Trainers who study extensively at these locations are Lasses, Schoolkids, and Scientists.

In the games

Pokémon academies are commonly found, quite conveniently, in a town or city very near to the player's hometown. They are often referred to as Trainer schools.

The Pokémon academy in Viridian City is visited by many beginning Trainers, and so is dedicated to teaching the basics of Pokémon to said inexperienced Trainers. Many Trainers that pass through Viridian tend to be beginning ones, which makes Viridian an ideal location for such an academy. In Generation II and Generation IV, the academy has been replaced by the Trainer House. The academy in Violet City, Earl's Pokémon School, is a place where students and beginning Trainers can learn more about Pokémon. It is run by Earl Dervish, who can first be seen outside the Violet City Gym but will show the player the way to the school while twirling at every turn. Another of Earl's Academy are seen in Pokémon Stadium 2, in this case in White City.

One of the bigger academies is situated in Hoenn's Rustboro City, named Pokémon Trainer's School, of which Roxanne is a student. The Prestige Precept Center in Phenac City, Orre, can also be considered a Trainers' school, as this purpose is more fitting than an official Pokémon League Gym (due to a lack of an actual league in Orre).

The Generation IV academy, the Trainers' School, is situated in Jubilife City of Sinnoh. This academy is notable for having two School Kids that can be battled inside. In Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia, the Ranger School is where the player starts the game. It is located in the Almia region, and connected to Vientown. Some characters from Pokémon Ranger graduated from there. Students of the school are given Capture Stylers that have limited capabilities, and there are some Pokémon roaming the grounds, and some in the main building.

In the Generation V games Pokémon Black, White, Black 2 and White 2, a Trainers' School is located in Striaton City. In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, a second Trainers' School is located in Aspertia City, with the backyard serving as the Aspertia Gym.

In the Generation VI games Pokémon X and Y, a Trainers' School is found in Santalune City.
