The '''Pokémon Trainer''' is a playable character in the game ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. He is the [[bulbapedia:Red (game)|main male character]] of the games in the ''Pokémon'' series that took place in the Kanto region, portrayed in the ''Pokémon FireRed'' and ''LeafGreen'' games.  The Pokémon Trainer is the first playable [[Pokémon]] character in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series who is not an actual Pokémon.
 
==History==
===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
====''Super Smash Bros. Brawl====
{{main|SmashWiki:Pokémon Trainer (SSBB)}}
[[File:Red SSBB.png|frame|left]]
In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', he will stay in the background and use three Pokémon to fight for him: [[Squirtle]], [[Ivysaur]], and [[Charizard]].  His down special move, [[Pokémon Change]], will switch out between these three [[Pokémon]]. The players choose the Pokémon to start with, and they will then be changed in the order Squirtle → Ivysaur → Charizard → Squirtle, and so forth. This is the first time this kind of fighting style has been used in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]]. 
 
=====[[Solid Snake]] Codec Conversation=====
*'''Snake''': Pokémon Trainer... That's the guy giving orders behind a Pokémon, right?
*'''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.
 
=====The Subspace Emissary=====
[[File:SubspaceIntro-PKMNTrainer.png|thumb|200px|left|The Pokémon Trainer in the Subspace Emissary.]]
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 were 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 (and Meta Knight has left to retake the Halberd), they are saved by [[Mario]] and his team ([[Link]], [[Yoshi]], [[Pit]] and [[Kirby]]).

===Pokémon Change===
[[File:Pokémon Change.jpg|thumb|200px|left|'''Pokémon Change''' being used.]]
[[File:Pokemon Change Setup.jpg|thumb|200px|right|The order of the Pokémon Change goes from Squirtle, to Ivysaur, to Charizard, and back to Squirtle.]]
{{main|SmashWiki:Pokémon Change}}
'''Pokémon Change''' is a move used by the Pokémon Trainer in the game ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. It is his Down special move. Once used, the Pokémon Trainer withdraws his current [[Pokémon]] into its [[Poké Ball]], and sends out another one. For example, if he starts off with [[Charizard]] in the beginning of the battle, when he uses Pokémon Change for the first time, he would switch his Charizard with [[Squirtle]]. If he uses it again, he will send out [[Ivysaur]]. Afterwards, Charizard re-enters the battle, and the order starts over again. This attack has many more strategy options, as players can now switch between three characters, and no damage can be taken between switches. This is similar to [[Zelda]] and [[Sheik]]'s [[Transform]] move. Like Transform, each Pokémon shares the same HP.
 
Changing Pokémon can be crucial since each Pokémon has their own set stamina.  As the Pokémon's stamina drops, its attacks will pack less power than normal.  When the Pokémon is tired out, that's the time to use Pokémon Change.  However, the player must not use this move too quickly or else the Pokémon won't have enough time to recover, and will get tired more quickly.
 
On a side note, if the Pokémon gets KO'd, Pokémon Trainer will automatically bring out the next Pokémon (unless he loses all of his stock lives in a Stock match).

===Triple Finish===
[[File:Triple Finish.jpg|thumb|200px|right|'''Triple Finish''' in action.]]
{{main|SmashWiki:Triple Finish}}
{{LLquote|Isn’t it a beautiful combination? A Fire-type attack, a Water-type attack, and a Grass-type attack? (Not really.)|[[Masahiro Sakurai]]|[http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/pokemon_trainer.html#3rd Smash Bros. DOJO!!]}}
 
'''Triple Finish''' is Pokémon Trainer's [[Final Smash]] in the [[Wii]] game, ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. It is unique in the fact that all three [[Pokémon]] - [[Squirtle]], [[Ivysaur]], and [[Charizard]] - are used in the attack. When the [[Smash Ball]] is collected by the Pokémon currently being used, Pokémon Trainer sends out his two other Pokémon. Then, a text box appears at the bottom of the screen (exactly the same style of text box used in ''[[wikipedia:Pokemon Diamond & Pearl|Diamond & Pearl]]''), and the three Pokémon use Hydro Pump (Squirtle), SolarBeam (Ivysaur), and Fire Blast (Charizard), which are all powerful attacks. No matter who it is used against, it will be "super effective" on the opponent, according to the text box. The attack is particularly powerful when a player is close up.

|''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.

==Trivia==
*Pokémon Trainer is one of the few fighters to only get five alternate costumes in ''Brawl'', instead of the usual six. This is also shared with [[Lucario]], [[Jigglypuff]], and [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]].
**One of Pokémon Trainer's alternative costumes has the same colours as another Pokémon Trainer, Brendan's outfit from Pokémon Emerald.
*Each of Pokémon Trainer's [[Pokémon]] have a different status upon the [[Earth|real world]]; one is an existing animal ([[Squirtle]]), another is an extinct species ([[Ivysaur]]), while the last one is a [[wikipedia:Cryptid|Cryptid]] ([[Charizard]]).
*Pokémon Trainer does not use his official franchise name, Red, in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''.
*Along with the [[Ice Climbers]], the Pokémon Trainer is the only fighter that consists of more than one fighter.
