Rate that trainer!

[Zeostar]

5/10 But it's my fault. I never fully grasped his character. Felt bianca was the much more relatable one.

Leon

 

[Orion☆]

4/10. Found him cool and kind of handsome at first, but as the plot progressed, he, like most of the main characters in Sw/Sh, became personally irritating. Plus, I can't take his hairstyle or outfit seriously, and he ain't sh*t compared to the rest of the Champions. (Then again this comes from someone who is sweet on Alder, Wallace and Diantha and dislikes Steven and Cynthia, so, grain of salt.)

Gym Leader Lt. Surge?

 

[_confused_piplup_]

5/10
Has to do with military life, which makes him kinda unique. But he's also quite forgettable. Not a fan of his design either.

Benga?

 

[Orion☆]

8/10! Not as remarkable as his grandpapa since he only appears in one game, but he's absolutely frickin' precious. :D

Silver?

 

[ReKoil]

3/10 - I just don't like him.

Molayne?

 

[_confused_piplup_]

3/10
Told me nothing. Pretty forgettable too imo and i don't like his design.

Marlon?

 

[Orion☆]

4/10. Cool design and team, not so cool attitude. Why, oh, why did you have to swim off to the sunset going on about "the sea accepting all rivers" while Hugh and I struggled against Team Plasma!?

(Stat Trainer) Cheryl?

 

[Zeostar]

I'll give a 6/10. Nothing against her, but I don't like that section of Sinnoh. The double battles in the forest feel kind of sluggish.

Gardenia

 

[Orion☆]

4/10. Adorable design, but her only remarkable trait is that she doesn't like Ghost-types - which is a personal no-no for me. At least Iscan fulfilled his duties to Lord Basculegion well despite his fear of Ghosts!

Gym Leader Byron?

 

[_confused_piplup_]

7/10

He looks funny and i like that he's Roarke's father. I like his design too.

Jasmine?

 

[Orion☆]

7/10! Reverse of Gardenia above: she may not be too relevant in the grand scheme of things but her design and personality are adorable, at least in the games.

Professor Kukui?

 

[ReKoil]

Abs/10
Erm. Idk. I just feel like he always goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on....
... whenever I meet him in the games. And the blockhead won't own up to being the masked dude despite it being annoyingly obvious.
I'll go with a 5/10 because he refuses to be honest =p

How about his wife, Professor Burnet?

 

[_confused_piplup_]

5/10

Normal, didn't really get me tho. Just did her job. Not a fan of her design

Archie

 

[Orion☆]

R/S/E - 6/10. Decent enough but nothing special.
OR/AS - A firm 10/10!! One of my favourite villainous Team bosses. I didn't like his design at first but hooo boy, he grew on me. And his revamped personality just makes him even more appealing, ajdbdjsbsjsj!!

Gym Leader Volkner?

 

[_confused_piplup_]

10/10 he's super cool. I mean he is unique because he's slightly depressed lol, but I also love the design and the gym. Also, quite a good gym leader. I actually liked that he had Octillery on his team lol

Diantha?

 

[ReKoil]

6/10
Bit forgettable, but I like her team.

Lusamine ?

 

[Orion☆]

...5/10. Points for being the first female main villain, but kind of underwhelming otherwise. I also don't like that she gets away with so much in both S/M and US/UM - like the frozen Pokémon in her office or treating the URS with contempt.

Kahuna Nanu?

 

[Zeostar]

7/10 He had some interesting dialogue. A bland design...but that fits the character I presume.

Morty

 

[_confused_piplup_]

8/10. Has the male version of my name (in Italian), has a nice gym and I like the design.

Eusine?

 

[Orion☆]

EDIT: Ninja'd. Already rated Eusine before - 10/10 in Crystal for being more like a companion to the MC and knowing all the legends, 5/10 in HG/SS for having been stripped of all that complexity.

Subway Boss Emmet?
