I didn't actually realise there was a fan term for them, but Bulbapedia tells me otherwise. Just in case nobody else knows what I'm talking about.
DPPt did something a little different. Instead of giving us just the rivals for major NPCs and leaving it at that, they gave us five special trainers - Cheryl, Riley, Mira, Buck, and Marley - who would team up with you for an area of the game to resolve a personal problem, kinda like a sidequest, with only Cheryl's being mandatory for game progression in DPPt, with Riley and Buck being made mandatory for Platinum to tie into the game's main story. However, many players may have missed one or more of them in that first run through.
So, which of these five trainers was your favourite, and why? Did you meet them all? Would you like to see more "stat trainers" like this in future instalments in the series, or are you happy with the direction the games are taking by trying to give rivals and recurring NPCs more plot integration? Lastly, in hypothetical DPPt remakes, how would you like to see these five included - would you like to see them as they were, or with expanded roles?
