What Is a Pokémon Trainer's Name?

A Pokémon trainer's name is the identity given to a player character across the Pokémon games, anime, and fan community. It often reflects personality, region, or specialty in catching and battling Pokémon.

Iconic trainer names like Ash, Red, Misty, and Brock inspired a lasting tradition of short, memorable, and personality-driven trainer names.
