What is Project Trainer Class
Scope and aims
Project Trainer Class is a project designed to expand all articles in the Trainer Class from all the Pokémon games. It covers all trainer classes in the main series from Generation I to Generation IV.
Our ultimate goal is to expand and complete all articles on trainer classes, such as Bug Catcher and Youngster, that have appeared in the games. Currently, this project covers every trainer class in Generation I, II, III and IV, along with Pokémon Colosseum/XD and Pokémon Battle Revolution.

How can I help?
You can help by opening the list of trainer classes and selecting any incomplete trainer class, and expanding 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. Instead, you can expand the many trainer class stub articles that have been created.
By following the structure of the article below, you can expand and modify any article to comply with the project standard.
Some trainer class articles, namely ones from Pokémon Colosseum/XD and Pokémon Battle Revolution, either have an unsatisfactory picture or no picture at all. You can add a picture to these articles, if possible, by uploading a sprite or screenshot of that trainer to the Bulbagarden Archives.
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
The structure of every Trainer Class article should be as follows:
Main Section
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 often located. Any other information that can’t be classified in the other sections can go here.
Appearances
Add all the trainer class sprites or screenshots from all the games they're found in. They should be added adjacent to each other, not in a gallery, with a caption noting which game it is from.
Pokémon
Most trainer classes specialize in a certain type of Pokémon. State which types the trainer class uses and their strategy in battle.
Trainer List
A list of all trainers and there Pokémon should go here by generation.
In the anime
Some trainer classes have anime counterparts. These characters can be added here, with a description about the character, and optionally a picture of them.
Trivia
Place any notable trivia, of course, here. Each separate piece of trivia should have its own bullet point.
