List of canon major Trainers
This page contains a list of major canon Trainers. They may be found within the fan regions of Pokémon XOver, or they may not; either way, this is a large list.
Notes
- A "major Trainer", in this case, is considered to be a Trainer that can be battled and has a unique sprite or model, even if they have a very minor role overall.
- This table contains only characters from the core series Pokémon games, and does not include characters from the anime or spin-off titles unless they appeared in the games.
- It is possible for a character to be listed multiple times., though this will only happen if their Trainer class changes between games (for example, from Gym Leader to Elite Four).
Characters introduced in any new games will not be included until after the release of their games.
