An Idea for trainer classes!

I suggest we re-install the Trainer Classes and actually have a purpose for them. I suggest each class gets a unique ability, thus giving a reason to choose from them in the first place. Let me give you some examples:

Pokémon Breeder: Has a very, very high chance of obtaining a shiny through egg hatching, maybe 1 in 10.

Pokémon Ranger: An almost guaranteed chance to find any specific non-legendary, non-novelty pokemon in the wild. Like, easier to find the pokemon they are looking for.

Dragon Tamer: Their dragon-type pokemon gain x1.5 exp in battles, but all other type pokemon get a 50% reduction in their exp gain.


Bug Catcher: Their bug type pokemon gain x2 exp in battles, but all other type pokemon get a 50% reduction in their exp gain.

Preschooler/Schoolboy/Youngster: Their pokemon that are yet to be evolved gain three times the normal exp gain until it reaches level 30 or evolves.

etc.

I love this idea. Also, I'd like to add some additional ones:

Aura Trainers - Can create stuff out of aura and Psychic Pokemon gains a X1.5 exp in battles.

Pokemon Trainer - Has a better chance of landing critical hits.

I like the idea, would these all be subclasses of trainer though?

Not necessarily, Reta. We could have coordinator classes too. And Shadow these examples are not the only ones to be implemented if this suggestion works out. You guys, this is just the concept :)

I don't think there should be a subclass really. Just a single class and that's it.

Also here:

Coordinator - +20% chance to find items

I was wondering if the trainer classes were being used beyond background information. My next character plans on being a Pokemon researcher wannabe. She will be a journalist for a newspaper but her assignment will be to write down her observations of Pokemon and trainers. She will be sort of a psychologist\sociologist in training. There is also the photographer\artist but not sure what bonuses the class would have. Then there is the character Cian in current B&W cartoon but again bonuses would be unknown to me.

Idea for another bonus-

Elementalists-
1.5% bonus in EXP to pokemon that match their elemental type. EX. a dark elementalist's Dark types get 1.5% exp boost.

I approve of that Lego ;D, go ahead, make me a stamp of approval and just edit it into your post.

I would add one to the elemental category, electric.

This is just the concept, guys. Im glad you ike the concept, we can suggest trainer classes after the concept has been approved, if it is going to be approved, that is/

Im for, but really, should we get a chance to change to other trainer classes, like, a one time thing?

That can be decided if and only this idea gets approved and only after this idea has been approved and implemented lol! And I personalyy dont think that should be allowed, cuz zomeone could take advantage of one class and then suddenly switch when they dont need that class anymore, kinda unfair advantage... abuse of system? Maybe allowed to change once if and only their pokemon are all below some level... 30?

This addition to the idea would make some sense. Sometimes you have someone who really didn't know what they wanted to do and then meets up with others who are in a different field then them. After they meet up, the main character gets interested in what the new person knows and might want to take in some training or teaching from the companion. I can also see a "school\academy" being set up to teach these different areas. As for the "inherited" ones like aura masters or elementalist, they would still need some sort of training in how to control their abilities unless they are self taught and only then after years of practice.

Yeah a school/academy process would make things fair as long as its challenging enough.

Classes should be cosmetic. You can have them affect starting pokemon and roleplaying flavor, but solid percentage-based bonuses invite abuse.

In general i like the idea. If you finish it Nightmare, and other staff member agree, the idea will be approved.

Just an addition

Ghost: Ghost and Dark type pokemon gain X 2.5 exp(a dual Ghost/Dark gains X 5.0),other types gain normal exp, but Normal and Fighting types(Unless a Dual Ghost/Fighting, or Dark/Fighting) do not gain Exp at all.

Gym Leader: 25% chance for Focus Energy effect to be gained between turns.

I would approve of this if I were staff, but i'm not (I wish I was)

Eh, these all sound good.

Got one for our only quiz master

Quiz Master: 25% chance to confuse foe between turns

what? had to put one for every class.

Quiz Master ain't a Trainer Class.

you are right. Plus, i didn't put one for Dwellers or LET

They ain't Trainer Classes either.

I'd say I approve of this idea. :D

Heard that, Myst. We can haz dis systumz?

Ok now sum all the classes on the main[first] post and I'll approve.
