I'd probably be more involved with the breeding/collecting aspect of raising Pokemon than the battling, although I would likely still do some of that. And by 'collecting' I really just mean acquiring all of my favorites, I've never been invested in the Pokedex.

I'll probably would like to travel, region to region, competing in contests with my best pals, taking the world by flair, and maybe get a badge or two, while I'm at it. :3

I'd probably just take four or five favourites as travelling companions.
I just couldn't see myself battling; I don't have the personality required for contests and completing the Pokédex just doesn't appeal to me - only able to take out six at a time? Plenty of Pokémon would just get forgotten.

As for what I'd take with me? Absol is a must. Any of the Ralts line, Glaceon/Vulpix, maybe Murkrow?
Thinking about it, they're all pretty good choices for it. Absol could predict all kinds of stuff, so I could get my arse out of there, I've got the defensiveness of the Ralts line, Murkrow would prevent me from getting lost (looking at the area from a different angle) and the other two are there to be a nice bundle of fluff :3

If I were to be a Pokemon trainer, I would have to be a Veteran. Not so much for the old man looks (I ain't old yet xD), but because often times when I see new players who just got into the game in a recent generation, it makes me reflect when I got into the game back when Red and Blue were first released, and how long I've been with this game.

I see a lot of people talking about how they would be as a trainer in-game but I couldn't help imagining how it would be if it was closer to the Pokemon world and the real world colliding into one.

I think I'd become my own version of an Aroma Lady, though. As much as I'm not particularly fond of grass types in game for some reason, I'm a huge fan irl of Aromatherapy and would adore having those types of Pokemon to help me in my work and kitchen witchery. :3 I've also always wondered what it would be like to have one of the super cute, snuggly Pokemon as pets (Togepi, Eevee, Happiny, etc) so I know the pet aspect of Pokemon would be a BIG deal for me. I'm a very emotional person so it wouldn't take me long at all to get emotionally attached to my Pokemon and see them as my special babies that I need to protect and take care of and love forever and ever. T-T *ahem* Anywho..

I've always loved the Pokemon Contest aspect of the games, cause realistically speaking it's a non-violent way to still use your Pokemon competitively and focus on their skills and talents. Depending on the Pokemon, I just don't think I would actually have it in me to send them out to battle one another. *shrugs* It's just me I guess, but I can't see that, especially the closer I got to them. I'd have a blast with the contests though! As it is I use every excuse I can to get dressed up.

I'm a huge fan of traveling, so that side of being a trainer I could definitely get into! Traveling the world with my fiance and my Pokemon would be a dream come true.

Catch the ones I like and go exploring and battling. Get through the Gyms at least, but being "the very best" doesn't really interest me.

Maybe be a gym leader, actually- I'd like the challenge of being limited to a single type, but yet still be able to bring a formidable trial to the table during each battle.

I'd travel to all four corners of the region in search of a legendary Pokemon to befriend. If they agreed to join me, hopefully one like Jirachi, Mew or Entei, I'd care very well for them. We'd do occasional battles but I wouldn't pursue the League or contests, pretty casual, perhaps as a gym leader with just two or three Pokemon. My main worry would be not paying enough attention to one of my Pokemon, so I couldn't have too many!

I work as a web analyst so I assume I'd have to have a Metagross and Magnezone to process all my python scripts / XPath queries and fix them when I fail at syntax D:

I really want a supercomputer that could also punch people through walls for me. What!?

Ah, I could go too far with this because if/where Pokemon are real, everything would be much different from anime/games.

But, theoretically speaking, I'd probably be an adventurer with an urge to have a flexible team that would cover every possible situation I might find myself in. I would probably organize some kind of group of strong trainers or something who i can rely on and train with. I'd probably be a gym leader, ambitious and slightly arrogant proud lol.

I imagine I'd be pretty casual Pokemon Trainer. I'd love to have several Pokemon as my buddies. Swablu and Mincinno would be helpful to have around the house for assisting with cleaning chores, and I bet a Smeargle could help me improve my artistic skill.

I'd play with them lots like in Pokemon Amie and perhaps if they were interested we'd compete in Pokemon Contests.

Ah yes! Many of my friends love Pokemon, too, but are more serious trainers than me. But I'd love to travel the world with them and our Pokemon! I've a feeling they'd want to teach me to improve my skill at Pokemon battles, though. {XD}

Oh, I think about this situation all the time. In the Pokemon World, I would likely not have all that many Pokemon on me. Wouldn't be able to handle collecting so many and giving them all attention. Instead of carrying six, I'd probably only carry two or three on-hand. It's more realistic that way. All of these creatures are living beings, and they require love, attention, and food.

Also, whilst I'd occasionally battle for fun and sport, it wouldn't be my main focus. I've seen in the anime and such that many people use Pokemon in their jobs. I would likely work as a kind of administrator/manager of something. Perhaps the head of the Gym Quality Inspection Team for the Pokemon League. And it would be my job to travel around the world for these inspections, with my Braixen, Espeon, and Flygon. The first two would help me with the inspections, using their Psychic abilities. The last one would mainly be for travel purposes.

I would also be an artist on the side, using my Braixen to help me with my pieces. I'd probably cover her stick with paint and collaborate with her.

It would be perfect for me. Whilst I enjoy doing art in real life and want it to be my job, I would much prefer a job that involves more importance, managing and enforcing standards. Something practical so I could feel like I'm doing things. And I could still have my art be an important part of me and as something I do for fun/to express myself.

This is just a thought. I don't really have a full idea of what I'd do in the Pokemon World. But it seems most likely.

I would probably have one Pokémon that I'd keep as a loyal pet. Something like a Growlithe. I wouldn't want to have a lot of Pokémon and I wouldn't be interested in battling.
Same here. I'd probably have a cute Pokemon, like Deerling or Skitty or Piplup, and we'd just roam around the Pokemon world. I'd join Pokemon Contests, though, but not actively.

i'd at least get the gym badges to use fly and surf n stuff, but i'd probably be traveling most of it. the best parts of the game for me is the wandering and the growth gained from it. i might not train my pokes to be the most terrifying force in the world, but rather i would focus on probably mastering their skills, and from there safely be able to roam the pokeworld.
