| - Pokémon Trainer (ポケモントレーナー Pokémon Torēnā?) is a selectable character in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. He is modeled after Red, the male protagonist of the Red, Blue, Yellow, FireRed and LeafGreen versions of Pokémon. Pokémon Trainer wears a VS. Seeker, an item in Pokémon used for detecting if people want to battle. Rather than fighting directly as the Trainer, the player instead controls his three Pokémon, Squirtle, Ivysaur, and Charizard. Pokémon Trainer is currently ranked 29th in the tier list. This is partly due to players being forced to master all three Pokémon playstyles. The stamina problem forces a PT player to make crucial decisions about whether to try and switch safely or to just keep piling on the damage and hope for a KO, with the problem being most apparent when fighting as Squirtle. The Pokémon also all suffer recovery issues, ranging from poor to relatively predictable (from bad to manageable: Ivysaur, Squirtle, Charizard). However, his ability to switch between different characters at will has given him decent matchups, allowing him to reach E tier. In the Japanese tier list, Charizard, Ivysaur, Squirtle, and Trainer each have their own spot, despite each Pokémon having to be swapped out due to the aforementioned stamina problem.
