The '''Pokémon Trainer''' is a playable character in the game ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. He is designed after [[bulbapedia:Red (game)|Red]], the main male character of [[bulbapedia:Pokémon Red and Green Versions|''Pokémon Red Version'' and ''Pokémon Green Version'']], [[bulbapedia:Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|''Pokémon Blue Version'']], ''[[bulbapedia:Pokémon Yellow Version|Pokémon Yellow Version]]'', and their remakes, using the design of the character first seen in ''[[bulbapedia:Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions]]''.

The Pokémon Trainer is the first playable [[Pokémon]] representative in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series who is not an actual Pokémon. Though a selectable character, he is not an actual fighter, instead commanding either of his three Pokémon in the background of the stage, his team consisting of [[Squirtle]], [[Ivysaur]], and [[Charizard]]. The only move the trainer performs is [[Pokémon Change]], which allows the player to switch out his three Pokémon at will throughout the battle. He also automatically switches Pokémon whenever one is KO'd. The Pokémon also run on a stamina system that weakens them as their stamina decreases the longer they are out on the field. Their [[Final Smash]] is [[Triple Finish]], which has the trainer send out all three Pokémon at once to attack.

In the [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl#Subspace Emissary|Subspace Emissary]], he allies with [[Lucas]] who helps him find his Charizard and Ivysaur. The two also encounter [[Wario]] and a large Subspace Army robot, [[Galleom]]. They are saved from the robot's detonation by [[Meta Knight]], and they team with him, [[Marth]] and [[Ike]] afterwards. When encountering a huge Subspace Army group on the foothills of a mountain (Meta Knight has left to retake the Halberd), they are saved by [[Mario]] and his team ([[Link]], [[Yoshi]], [[Pit]], and [[Kirby]]).

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]'', transforming during battle is omitted, so [[Charizard]] was made into a separate character, while the Pokémon Trainer, [[Squirtle]], and [[Ivysaur]] are no longer playable. He, Squirtle, and Ivysaur appear as collectable trophies, however.

|''A person who raises Pokémon and trains them as partners in battle. In battle, a Trainer gives orders to the Pokémon and uses items. It's not an exaggeration to say battles can be won or lost on a Trainer's single strategic move. Trainers pour their hearts into their Pokémon and share anger, sadness, and joy as they adventure in hopes of becoming Pokémon Masters.''

====Snake's codec====
*'''[[Solid Snake|Snake]]''': Pokémon Trainer... That's the guy giving orders behind a Pokémon, right?
*'''[[Radio conversation characters#Colonel Roy Campbell|Colonel]]''': Right, and this Pokémon Trainer is controlling Squirtle, Ivysaur, and Charizard. They represent water, grass, and fire, and they're all powerful.
*'''Snake''': So he makes his Pokémon fight while he sits back and watches. Sounds like a good deal if you ask me.
*'''Colonel''': It's not like that, Snake. Those Pokémon wouldn't know what to do if the Pokémon Trainer wasn't there giving orders. In every battle, there's a soldier doing the fighting, and a commander telling him what to do. By working together as a team, they accomplish much more than either could on their own. So let's do this together, partner.
*'''Snake''': ...Yeah... Whatever you say, Colonel.
