>>45818164>So your plan to become a world-class trainer is... Have someone else be a trainer while you sit at home with no pokemon twiddling your thumbs?You will be working with a community of trainers that share your goals in training pokemon.
>Assuming you magically become rich enough in this transition to afford the squads of progressively better trainers to keep up with your progressively stronger pokemon, how does that help you? You have a squad of professionally trained mercenaries and connections.
>It's like how English aristos used to give their kids to nannies and tutorsA modern example would be public school.
>You still don't know the 'mons, you don't understand them or have any sort of personal bond with them>never knew what they actually were likeYes, you need to schedule bonding time for your pokemon.
>And if you do get a custom fully levelled team from your breeders and workers, and start there, you still have to go out in the world to practise, to learn yourself how to actually control the mons. Yes.
>You can have Charizard out in the middle of your garden party to impress the guests, but Arceus forbid you need to get him back in the ball because bhe wants to eat yuppies. Not a battle of wills you're likely to win.>Proper bonds require time.I wouldn't show off a pokemon rented for a few battles.
>You're rich and badgeless, like those guys who own yachts and insist on being called Captain but don't actually know how to sail.>The title must be earned!Of course. They don't hand badges to anyone.
