Today's strange and unusual Pokemon deep dive will explore the "Ace Trainer" class of NPC. What exactly does it mean to become an Ace Trainer? And how exactly do you become one? Let's find out.
Ace Trainers are a classic Pokemon archetype. From the Tohjo Falls in HeartGold and SoulSilver to Mount Lanakila in Sun and Moon- these trainers populate the later, more difficult areas of games stories and could be considered just shy of bosses like the gym leaders or elite four. These are the other trainers making the journey in these worlds to become the very best.
But their very existence begs a burning question. How and by what authority can a trainer be given this title? Their unique battle teams and placement in world speaks for itself, but how they got there is another story entirely. So today we explore the meaning and pursuit of excellence in the latest Pokemon Investigation. Let's dive in!
