What are Pokémon Generation II Trainers?

Pokémon Generation II Trainers are those trainers that are found in the Generation II games – Gold, Silver and Crystal. Pokémon Trainers are people who capture and train Pokémon and then compete to become a Champion. Along their journey they compete with other Pokémon trainers. 

 

Trainers are grouped into different classes depending on their ability. There are a total of 21 different Trainer Classes introduced in the Generation II games. The majority of these are generic trainers that are not individually named but are known by a descriptive noun eg Boarder or Camper. They can be found in many different locations where they challenge the player to a match.

More experienced Trainers become Gym Leaders and these Trainers are named. There are 8 Generation II Trainers that are Gym Leaders. Players compete against Gym leaders to win Gym Badges. When all Gym Badges are collected the player can battle the Elite Four.

The Elite Four are four very experienced and strong Trainers. These Trainers are also given names. Once the Elite Four are defeated, the player can go on to battle the Champion – the last Trainer to defeat the Elite Four. The Champion for Generation II Gold and Silver is Lance.

Team Rocket are a group of malevolent Trainers that exploit Pokémon for their own aims. The members of Team Rocket are known as Grunts and they try to hamper the player’s progress whenever possible. They are led by a Boss. The Boss for Generation I is Giovanni.
