I wouldn't be a Pokemon trainer, battling is way too similar to dog or rooster fights. Besides, if Pokemon were real, keeping them as pets would probably be illegal. Think about it: a lot of them are very large, and almost all of them have powerful and dangerous elemental/physical attacks. At the very most, you'd be allowed to train Pokemon only after extensive classes for a few years, and only if you're at least twenty one years old. Video games are one thing, but I certainly wouldn't trust a real-life ten year old with something like a Pokemon.
