What are Pokémon Generation III Trainers?

Pokémon Generation III Trainers are those trainers that are found in the Generation III games – Ruby, Sapphire,  Emerald and FireRed, LeafGreen. 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 44 different Trainer Classes introduced in the Generation III games. The majority of these are generic trainers that are not individually named but are known by a descriptive noun e.g. Parasol Lady or Triathlete. 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 III 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 is Lance.

Team Aqua and Team Magma are malevolent Trainers that exploit Pokémon for their own aims. Team Aqua, led by boss Archie, want to expand the world’s oceans by awakening the Legendary Pokemon Kyogre, which they believe will cause heavy rainfall and create more habitats for water-type Pokemon. Team Magma led by boss Maxie, seek to increase the world’s landmass by awakening the Legendary Pokemon Groudon, which they believe will cause the oceans to recede and make more space for land-based Pokemon.
