Currently, this project covers every trainer class in [[Trainer class#Generation I|Generation I]], [[Trainer class#Generation II|II]], [[Trainer class#Generation III|III]] and [[Trainer class#Generation IV|IV]], along with [[List_of_trainer_classes#Colosseum.2FXD|Pokémon Colosseum/XD]] and [[List_of_trainer_classes#Pok.C3.A9mon_Battle_Revolution|Pokémon Battle Revolution]].

==How can I help?==
===Structure===
You can help by opening [[List of trainer classes|the list of trainer classes]] and selecting any incomplete trainer class and expand it by providing any extra information about it. There is no need for creating any new articles, as all trainer classes have already been made. But instead, you can expand the many trainer class stub articles that have been created.
Articles that fall under this category include;
* [[Move deleter|Move Deleter]]
* [[Name Rater]]
* Almost every player character nameable
(These are merely examples)


By following the structure of the article below, you can expand and modify any article to comply with the project standard.
===Goals===
This Project's goal is to cover every possible article that falls under the criteria of "game-exclusive characters" and to pick up as many helping members as possible along the way.


Some trainer class articles, namely ones from [[List_of_trainer_classes#Colosseum.2FXD|Pokémon Colosseum/XD]] and [[List_of_trainer_classes#Pok.C3.A9mon_Battle_Revolution|Pokémon Battle Revolution]] don’t have pictures or unsatisfactory pictures. You can add a picture to these articles, if possible, by upload a sprite or screenshot of that trainer to the Bulbagarden Archives.
===Infoboxes===


===To-do List===
*Add pictures in all generations to every Trainer Class article.
*Complete every Trainer Class article from Generation I to the project standard.
* Complete every Trainer Class article from Generation II to the project standard.
* Complete every Trainer Class article from Generation III to the project standard.
* Complete every Trainer Class article from Generation IV to the project standard.


==Structure of an article==
{{CharacterInfobox|
The structure of every Trainer Class article should go as followed:
name=Move deleter |
===Main Section===
jname=わすれオヤジ|
This section should be untitled, at the start of the article. It should contain a general description of the trainer’s appearance and personality. There should be a brief history of their encounter in the game, such as where they can be first located, and where they are most located. Any other information that can’t be classified in the other sections can go here.
tmname=Wasure Oyaji|
image= |
caption=|

===Appearances===
If you have any ideas, please add to the infobox.
Add all the trainer class sprites or screenshots from all the games their found in. They should be added side by side to each other, not in a gallery, with a caption noting which game it is from.


===Pokémon===
After pasting, please put a <nowiki>{{clear}}</nowiki> before the Project Character Dex notice.
Most trainer classes specialize in a certain type of Pokémon. State which types the trainer class uses and their strategy in battle.
