Notable Examples: Professor Rowan, Diantha
Key Skills: Intuition, Guile, Charm
How to Build: Start with Fashionista or Mentor This Archetype knows that image is important, and you often must wear a different mask to interact with people from different walks of life. As such, the Fashionista Class serves them well by giving them the ability to refashion themselves to meet and socialize with all sorts of different social circles. The Mentor Class represents what this Archetype has to teach to others from either their refined education or their years of experience. Gentlemen and Ladies work well with Pokémon, understanding the nuances of caring for and raising them. From there, the Researcher is a great option as well. Those from noble or wealthy families tend to have great educations and are well-read on a variety of topics. Many even go on to become Pokémon Professors. Hobbyist is also a particularly fitting option, as Gentlemen and Ladies often prefer to dabble in a variety of SKILLS to maintain their well-rounded educations. Gentlemen and Ladies usually enjoy the finer things in life, and they may train themselves as Chefs to ensure they always have the highest possible standards of food for themselves and their Pokémon. While many Trainers who embody this Archetype may be skilled battlers, it’s also very common for them to pursue the more peaceful path of competing in Pokémon Contests. The Coordinator and Style Expert Classes would help greatly with this, of course. Gentlemen and Ladies who find themselves caught in the middle of a fight can use the Provocateur Class to put their quick wits and social grace to use in disorienting their enemies.
