With regards to the trainer "using" techniques, either would be acceptable. This is simply a case of whether one wishes to emphasise the will of the trainer or not.--[[User:Montegue|Montegue]] ([[User talk:Montegue|talk]]) 16:10, 16 September 2016 (UTC) | With regards to the trainer "using" techniques, either would be acceptable.

I agree, it's more natural to address a group with singular pronouns and still use "they" instead of "it". But "they" has become an acceptable singular pronoun which certainly means that it's okay to use for a group of people. The only time I could see "it" being used is if you're not talking about people at all, and rather something as the Team Rocket organization itself. --[[User:Carllz|<span style="color:darkerred">Carllz</span>]] ([[User talk:Carllz|<span style="color:darkerblue">talk</span>]]) 02:11, 15 June 2017 (UTC) | |||
