What do you think of the different trainers in the game?
Specifically, what they say before they battle you (ie. a Psychic says "I forsee your defeat" or a Hiker says "I'm a hiker, I like hiking, hike hike hike").

Sometimes they bring a smile to my face, but sometimes their puns are too much.
lurid/lucid

"I want to tear myself from this place, from this reality, rise up like a cloud and float away, melt into this humid summer night and dissolve somewhere far, over the hills. But I am here, my legs blocks of concrete, my lungs empty of air, my throat burning. There will be no floating away."

I like the youngster that says "I'm going to win with the Magikarp my dad gave me!" I laughed
I remember that! I hated Magikarp trainers, they were so annoying, and I remember them forever, so I can skip them in every game.

But on topic, there puns are funny, but most of the time, I don't care what they are saying, it's just a few that appeal to me or catches me.

I remember a Picknicker in the desert area in Emerald, who said "If you lose, I'll give you one of my sandwiches!"

After I beat him, he said "I thought a sandwich was a good bribe..."
And then after the battle, he said "My Pokemon love my sandwiches."

I thought that was really funny, I wish he would have made another appearance in Generation IV.

I had the exact same reaction. I told a friend (he was sitting next to me, playing his own game) and he laughed too (he's a Magicarp hater).

Hmmmm, level 6 (I think) Magikarp vs level 15 Turtwig, who will be the winner..?
I can't envision any scenario in which the Magicarp could possibly win.

Most of them have really lame puns. None of them really manage to make me laugh. XD

I remember this guy on Cycling Road who repeated "RYDEL" like 100 times before getting to the battle. XD
My god, I must avoid him at all costs.

I remember there being a kid who talks about how wonderful his shorts are, but I can't remember which game he's from...
Wasn't that Red Version?!?
Lol.
Does anyone else feel that Gym Leaders are notorious for lame puns?

My friend battles them for just comic relief.

I find the trainers and their speech to be really funny. XD

Ha! I just encountered him. I finished battling him...

Spoiler:
Magikarp used Splash.

It did nothing.

Turtwig used Absorb.

It's super effective!

He doesn't actually battle you (I think); he's pretty annoying if you accidentally talk to him, though.

Do you mean 'I like shorts. They're comfy and easy to wear.'?

I think in D/P's Victory Road, there's a Black Belt who says something like, 'I made it this far with karate I learned on the Internet!'. Internet karate FTW!

Who can't forget the Juggler in Red/Blue, who when defeated says....

oops! dropped my balls!
LOL!
....
Um...
I hope that's not obscene or offensive to anyone...
Red and Blue had the best trainers.

Ugh the cycling road between Eterna and Oreburgh was just "Hey, you have a bike and some Pokemon too.. Let's battle!" over and over and over and over.

You'd be right. He's just to the side of the path between Mauville and Slateport for those who talk to everyone to regret doing so, later... XD I accidentally talked to him a number of times. I don't recall why, though...

Anyway, as for my opinion on the comments made by the trainers in the Pokemon games, some of them are okay, such as the simple ones made by your casual Lass and such, as well as the ones made by Ladies and Rich Kids, but others asre just awful. One I found interesting, though more for the end-of-battle comment, was the Socialite near Backlot's Pokemon Mansion; how the battle she has against you is nothing like when she battles her friends. Its the simple ones that I feel are better received, rather than the dialogue that tries to bring in stuff like web-based lingo (e.g. noob) and the like. I never liked how they did that, personally...

But in conclusion, some are okay, others are just average or terrible.
