Scientist (Trainer class)
A Scientist (Japanese: はぐれけんきゅういん Researcher Gone Astray in Generations I, II and HGSS, けんきゅういん Researcher in Generations III, V, and DPPt) is a type of Pokémon Trainer that first debuted in the Generation I games. They are men in lab coats and glasses, with the ones in FireRed and LeafGreen as well as HeartGold and SoulSilver holding beakers as well. They are often aligned with Team Rocket, as shown throughout the first four generations, and with Team Galactic, as shown in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum.
They generally use inorganic or artificial Pokémon such as Porygon, Muk, and Voltorb.
In Pokémon Stadium, Scientists are known as Lab Men. In the English version of Pokémon Colosseum and Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, Scientists are known as Researchers, while Scientists working for Cipher are called Cipher R&D in XD.
In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Scientists appearing outside of the Battle Frontier have a sprite unique to themselves with clothes consisting of a tattered lab coat and black pants, while Scientists within the Battle Frontier use the Diamond, Pearl and Platinum sprite, which has them wearing a normal-looking lab coat and white pants.
In Black and White, female Scientists were introduced.
