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 is very interested 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 in 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 tells May to do things that actually made the contest worse, for example in the Pokémon Advanced Battle episode Deceit and Assist). He also lends his Pokémon to Team Rocket so May will lose. He even dresses up like May in the Grand Festival in Kanto. He has a Cacturne, a Banette, an Octillery, an Ariados and a Wigglytuff.

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

Solidad - 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.

Dawn - A new character from the Sinnoh saga who is interested in contests. Her mother was once a coordinator as well. So far she has Piplup, Buneary, and Pachirisu.

Nozomi -

Jessibella - Is actually Jessie in Diguise, 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.
