Pokémon coordinator

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A Pokémon coordinator is a person who regularly participates in a Pokémon Contest in different cities. To be a Pokémon Coordinator, one needs a Pokémon, some skill at being a Coordinator, Pokéblocks, and a Contest Pass and/or ribbon(s).

In the anime, May (Haruka in Japanese) is a Coordinator who is keen to participate in every contest she can. May's rival, Drew, is also a Pokémon Coordinator.

[edit] List of Pokémon coordinators

May - One of the main characters in the Pokémon anime. She has a very lot of interest in contests, and tries her hardest to win.

Drew - One of the best Pokémon coordinators around. He is from LaRousse City. Even though he is May's rival, he does not like Harley cheating at the contests by telling May techniques that don't work. He has a habit of giving her (or, as he claims, her pokémon) roses after a contest, leading some to believe that he has romantic feelings for her.

Harley - A coordinator from Slateport City who always wants to cheat and take advantage of his opponents ( for example, he told May to do things that actually made the contest worse). He also lend his Pokemon to Team Rocket, so May will lose. He even dressed up like May in the Grand Festival in Kanto. The reason why he dispises May is because when he was a child, a girl that looks like May stole his last piece of food from him.

Robert - The coordinator who managed to beat Drew and won the Hoenn Grand Festival. He has a Milotic and a Claydol.

Soledad - A coordinator from Pewter City who beat Drew in his very first contest, and defeated May in the Kanto Grand Festival. She has a Lapras, Slowbro, Pidgeot, and a Butterfree.

Hikari - A new character from the Sinnoh saga who is interested in contests. Her mother was once a coordinator aswell. So far she has a Pochama and a Mimirol.

Jessie - A member of Team Rocket who, shortly after arriving in the Hoenn region, decided to participate in Pokémon Contests. Initially, like Harley, she cheated to win at contests, but later she decided to compete more fairly. Either way, she has never won a Pokémon Contest, even though her techniques are occasionally impressive.

Kelly - A girl from Lilycove City who became one of May's rivals during a contest. Her family is in the Pokeblock-making business. She has a Grumpig.
