To be honest, I don't see how being a Pokémon Trainer and a Pokémon Coordinator is any different. Coordinators unleash deadly attacks with grace and style. Trainers just unleash deadly attacks. They have their own different competitions and such, yeah, but it seems to me that Coordinators have it tougher than Trainers, since all Trainers have to do is battle. Coordinators battle and make it look awesome.
Maybe we should be following May instead of Ash...then again, she has no interest in hot, sweaty Gym Leaders, right?
