If you were a trainer in the anime...

[Alais]

If you were a beginning trainer in the anime, how would you train your Pokemon? Seek out Pokemon they are weak to? Make them all walk everywhere with you to build strength and endurance? Just battle whatever chance happens to throw your way?

Would you spend your time seeing the world, going where your adventures take you, or would you design a training regime to make sure your Pokemon were the best in as short a time as possible?

Would you catch as many Pokemon as you could from early on or wait until you found your favourites? Remember, it might be a long time before you find that Larvitar, and you don't have the internet to tell you where to find them! You could dedicate the early part of your journey to the hunt, asking Professors where to begin and who to ask to find your special Pokemon. Ash tends just to accept whatever lands in his lap, he seems to have no aspirations for owning a particular species.

I would battle other trainers for moneyz and go to a restaurant to drink beer By doing this I would be known as The Drunk Trainer (who's awesome )

[DarK_SouL]

i would befriend pokemon and let them train at whatever pace they like

[Nando]

If I was a trainer in the anime, I would want to be a gym leader. I'd be known as the "Poison master" 'cause I'd use poison-type Pokemon. 

[Amphi]

if i was a trainer id go battle ash and i mean literally battle him(i will shank him in the side and break the blade off therefore killing him and earning me his title)

[Sibone1]

catch as many differant types as possible. I would have one or two trademark pokemon (probably some powerhouses like Dragonite, milotic, metagross ect. I wouldnt usually go for them in the games tho as games are more fun with average/weaker pokes) Travel around, train in quite areas like in mountains where me and my pokemon need to fend for ourselfs. Beat as many gyms as possible, Make friends on the way, wear cool clothes, i would be a wise powerful trainer. When im older and want to settle down, i will either be a gym leader with a side hobbie nearish a decent sized city or the champ of my home region.

[HyperTyranitar]

I would travel all around the world traveling all regions get 6 pokemon to their best make alot of stradegies for them.

go back to kanto and beat every league 1 by1

after that i would i would travel some more

[Kuhns]

I'd travel all over the world. The occasional Pokemon battle/Gym battle would keep my (relatively small) team in shape. While traveling, I'd try to see as many Pokemon as I could, and maybe look into some of the mysteries of the Pokemon world as well.

[Hyakko]

I would catch and train pokemon But i would make my own team and this is pretty much what i would go after

Gyarados

Garchomp (final evolution of gible)

Absol

Luxray

Ninetail

Iceon (well the ice mutation of evee anyways.)

I would then go on a self imposed quest for power by training my pokemon beyond power and beyond skill, swallowing battles to perfect the art of battling and invent some signature moves for each pokemon, Then after having fought the most powerfull trainers and pokemon I would take my time to perfect my training machines for those willing to follow the way of power. That would be my legacy in the anime. I would go form place to place following a trail of powerfull opponents teach them the true meaning of power in the right hands.

[Declan_23]

I would travel the world searching for all the rarest pokemon. After catching a few I would sell them on ebay (or pokemon equivilent) and retire and live in a huge mansion with machamp body guards

[Hyakko]

your lucky you can drink more than one beer before getting drunk. Me first one and i don't remember what happened next.

[Flannery]

Only if it was true.. I'd like to travel and befriend people  while making friends with pokemon =)

[Dellancher]

I'd probably let one pokemon out of the ball as Ash does... Haunter probably.  I'd ride around on an Arcanine though since it would just be so badass. I'd be a wayward wanderer for a while then as I matured maybe strive to become a gym leader, not sure which type though... maybe pull a Blue in GSC. 

Team- Arcanine, Haunter, Scyther, Pigeot, Jolteon, Ditto

[silentkey]

I would travel the world studying different pokemon my starter beldum and I would search for rare pokemon selling them to for profit

[crazy1native]

id let my pokemon get drunk and win battles easy against other drunk pokemon.
