* DamselInDistress: Three of them (in the remakes). One is lost in Ilex Forest, one is being harassed by a Rocket grunt at the Dance Theater, and one is stuck in the ice of the Ice Cave.
* DubNameChange: An odd example. In the original Japanese, they (naturally) have Japanese names. When the games were translated into English, the girls were given different names--that are still Japanese.

Artists looked like old painting men in Gen 4, while Gen 6 introduced a young female variant; they can team up to form an Artist Family. In Gen 8, Artists are deranged-looking middle-aged men with clay sculptures.

* ComMons: The trainer variant, they appear frequently early in the game but are not a real threat and become rarer once you get your second Badge. They also commonly use the Bug-type ComMons of their generation in battle.

* ComMons: Their bread and butter. Quickest way to find out the early route Pokémon in the game are to fight the first Youngster/Lass you see.

* ComMons: Their bread and butter. Quickest way to find out the ComMons in the game are to fight the first Youngster/Lass you see.

* BoyishShorts: With the exception of X and Y (where they're wearing what are more like cuffed sweatpants), the boy Prescoolers are always wearing shorts--and they're the youngest trainers in the games, even younger than the Youngsters and Lasses and often use unevolved Pokémon.

* DubNameChange: As mentioned above, they were originally known as Kaiju Maniacs.

* BeautyBrainsAndBrawn: The Brains to the Lasses' Beauty and the Youth Athletes' Brawn, being {{Badass Bookworm}}s as mentioned earlier.

Veterans appear to be older Ace Trainers. They are old men resembling the Hoenn Experts in Gen IV, but they are somewhat younger and dressed differently in later generations. Female Veterans were introduced in ''Black and White''. Like Ace Trainers, they use powerful evolved Pokémon of various types.

* MakeMeWannaShout: Sometimes they have Pokémon with sound-based abilities, such as the Whismur and Kricketot line.

[[folder:Camper and Picnicker]]

* ShockAndAwe: The Interviewer pairs of Hoenn and (in ''Platinum'') Sinnoh use the Magnemite line, which tend to know Electric-type moves such as Spark and Discharge. Galar's Interviewers favor the Helioptile and Klink lines and also Togedemaru.

The interviewer pair for Hoenn are known as Gabby & Ty while the interviewer pair for Sinnoh are known as Roxy & Oli.

* ShockAndAwe: Both the Interviewer pairs use the Magnemite line, which tend to know Electric-type moves such as Spark and Discharge.

** Since the evolution didn't exist in ''Ruby and Sapphire'', Gabby & Ty will eventually have a Magnezone this time around in the ''Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire'' remakes.

* EvilGenius: You can sometimes find scientists helping the local villains, especially in the earlier generations. One Scientist in Blaine's gym in ''[=HeartGold=]'' and ''[=SoulSilver=]'' points out that the actual good Scientists don't like how they've become stereotyped as villains because of this.

* EvilGenius: You can sometimes find scientists helping the local villains, especially in the earlier generations.

* ReassignedToAntarctica: The only given reason for the [[FaceHeelTurn Face-Heel Turns]] among the Silph-based Scientists is because one of them had been assigned to the company's outpost somewhere in the Russian outback (Ponaya Tunguska in the Japanese version and Tiksi in the English and German versions).[[note]]In the French version, he makes a cultural reference instead, accusing the President of assigning him to a post in Triffouilly-les-Oies, a fictional location used by the French to refer to the middle of nowhere.[[/note]]

* SchoolSportUniform: If a scene set in Erika's Gym in ''Anime/PokemonOrigins'' is to be believed, Kanto Beauties wear this beginning in Gen III, which makes more sense if you're to take the Game Freak staff's word for it]] [[AllThereInTheManual that they used to be Lasses when they were younger.

* RatedMForManly: They tend to boast about how manly they are. This is reflected by their preference for the tough-looking Machop line.
