surprised there aren't more subculture themed ones, like
>goth, black pokemon, cats, bats, pokemon which are described as misunderstood or lonely
>delinquent, tough fighting type and dog pokemon, throw in an occasionally skitty or other super cute soft pokemon for the delinquent-with-a-heart-of-gold trope (i know there's already "delinquents" in oras but that's not what they were called in japanese and i mean the traditional high school pompadour jerk type)
>pessimist, does not expect to win. uses moves that harm their own pokemon and perish song.
>sketcher, uses tank pokemon and healing moves and items, and sleep, to draw out a battle as long as possible to get the best chance to draw your pokemon. if the battle lasts long enough they will show you a sketch like after the gen 3 contests.
>dog walker, harried looking kids being paid to take out packs of fancy dog pokemon
>poacher, suspicious individuals with a dog pokemon for tracking, a bird pokemon for getaway, some sort of brute for battle, uses moves like arena trap and wrap. maybe sometimes has one of their target pokemon, rare ones or ones said to be hunted for meat. maybe they could give it to you on defeat?
