    Where would you fit in best in the Pokémon world? Do you think you would be a Contest coordinator? Researching in a lab with a professor? Breeding the top percentage of Rattata? Join up with an evil team? Would you be doing the badge journey as a trainer like our protagonists or something else?
     
    I would rock it as a gym leader, using my natural leadership skills to lead a grass-type gym and advise young trainers on their journey to the top.

    If not a gym leader, I'd own a PokeMart.
     
    I'd want to be a human doctor, it would presumably still be a high paying profession; and the funds would allow me to battle and train Pokemon in my spare time (I doubt I'd have the skill to "go pro" and become a gym leader, since I imagine Pokemon battling as similar to other sports like Basketball, where a lot of people play casually but only a tiny sliver can make careers out of it).
     
    I would be a traveling healer and just all round assister, stopping theifs healing wild and other peoples pokemon, and protecting others if they need it!
     
    The owner of box art, box clothing for the stylish!
    Spoiler:


    Probably just a Glaceon who looks after other eeveelutions and ice types it comes across.
     
    I would say some kind of naturalist, like a Pokémon watcher or photographer, but I'm honestly not sure I'd be as interested in a world where Pokémon were already such common knowledge. I guess I could design badges for up-and-coming Gym Leaders and/or unofficial gyms since I'm occasionally commissioned for custom badges IRL, though I'd really just like to live a quiet, self-sufficient life with my Pokémon.

    Definitely a journey! I just think it'd be an awesome way to see the world and help me improve my mental health. Dangerous I'm sure, but will still be a lot of fun. Think I'd wait till I was on the older side to do it though - maybe at least 18? Can't foresee myself finishing for at least 5 years so I guess uni would be on hold lol.
     
    At first I was just going to say that I'd be a trainer so that I could travel around, but I'd honestly wouldn't be one for actually fighting my Pokémon. I'd get too worried about them if they were badly hurt. Wouldn't want to put them through any pain if I can help it.

    But then I thought more about being a contest coordinator, and that might be more up my alley. I like the idea of still training my Pokémon, but it wouldn't be to make them the strongest in battle. It would just be showing off their natural talents and form. Yeah, there'd still be battling (depending on what canon this is going with), but it seems like that would be more fun than harmful.
     
    I think I'd like to be a Pokemon breeder/day care man. Just relaxing in my hometown, looking after people's Pokemon. I would also study them and help people with their Pokemon's behavioral issues.
     
    Truck driver. Somebody's gotta deliver all those Hyper Potions and Ultra Balls to the local Poke Marts, after all.

    I guess I'd still be an artist, but I think I'd really want to go on a journey at some point. Just battle for fun, get some badges and a nice bonding experience with my Pokémon, learn more about my country and see what life has to offer. Maybe something like in S/V where they have school-sanctioned journeys as part of their regular education? That must be cool, and wouldn't stop me from getting a job outside of professional trainer. I'd go around with a sketchbook and doodle any cool mons I come across :D As a job, I think I'd love to be an illustrator for anything Pokémon related (textbooks and the like). I'd make my Pokémon pose for so many drawings lol
     
    A swimmer. I miss swimming a lot in general, to have all that free time in the open seas meeting like minded people who're crazy enough to go beyond for a battle.
     
    I think I'd be that sort of nameless occupation of explorer-researcher-aspirational-expert that Steven and to a lesser extent Eusine, among others, seem to occupy. I'd like to travel the world and research or explore things, not so much for the sake of battle or achievement but for the purpose of learning all I can about the subjects that interest me. I almost picked Pokemon Professor (or aide) for the same reason, but people like Steven seem to be having a bit more fun, getting into the world themselves and poking around, collecting old artifacts and learning the lore of legendary Pokemon.
     
    I'd like to be a Gym Leader, preferably a Ghost-type specialist. I'd love to do Pokemon battles, but I don't like to travel and this would be a great way to fight a lot of challengers while still staying near my house. I'm not the most competitive, either, so I wouldn't mind losing as much as a Gym Leader is expected to. I definitely wouldn't try and become Champion or anything.
     
    I would probably be a diviner in search of "the otherworld" within the Pokemon World equivalent of the place I live in. And to explain what that would entail, I would have to explain a bit about this possible setting.

    The land of Kaluai, based on the combination of ancient Finland, Kalevala myths & some of the more modern traits of my country, is a region divided between the South Kaluai that has started to develop its infrastructure & cities at the time of the setting leading to more urbanized environment & desires to develop its own Pokemon League Challenge, and the North Kaluai that still clings onto to the traditions of the land, with much of the population still communing with old spirits through spiritualism & shamanism.

    As a diviner, it would be my job to commune with spirits and dispel spiritual imbalance as it appears. A job that is made harder by the conflicts between three feuding tribes that each call one of the three sacred mountains of the region their own. As with every practitioner of spiritualism in Kaluai, the ultimate end goal of the spiritual pilgrimage is the rediscovery of the "the otherworld", the Ancient Kaluai of legends residing in a separate universe from the one Arceus created where some spirits are said to pass on to according to Kaluaian myths. As a result, I would be wielding one of the two new types in the setting that are said to have originated from "the otherworld", typing I will likely call "Aeon" as to not make the western part of the fan base confuse it with Ghost-types.
