The profession of the Poké Ball-throwing Pokémon Trainer is easily as iconically significant to the overall ''Pokémon'' franchise as the Poké Ball itself, and is often the image that the Pokémon franchise in general conjures. Perhaps that is why ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', in addition to featuring individual Pokémon such as [[Pikachu]] as playable fighters, has now been revealed to feature the generic Pokémon Trainer as a playable entity all the same. However, the trainer is not the one that does the fighting; he stays away a safe distance as he "directs" his Pokémon, played by the player, to do the battling, just like the trainer would in normal Pokémon battles.

The Pokémon Trainer makes an official appearance as a playable entity in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', modeled after the male trainer design seen in the ''FireRed'' and ''LeafGreen'' versions. However, it would be inaccurate to call him a playable "fighter", as selecting him is like selecting a [[Zelda]]/[[Sheik]]-style character with three switchable forms, which are the three Pokémon the Pokémon Trainer has in his collection: [[Squirtle]], [[Ivysaur]], and [[Charizard]]. The trainer visually issues commands in the background of the stage to the Pokémon in the foreground, corresponding with the actions input by the player to the current Pokémon as the real fighter. One, however, might say the player controls the Trainer, who commands the Pokémon.

:'''Pokémon Trainer'''
:''A person who raises Pokémon and trains them as partners in battle. In battle, a Trainer gives orders to the Pokémon and uses items. It's not an exaggeration to say battles can be won or lost on a Trainer's single strategic move. Trainers pour their hearts into their Pokémon and share anger, sadness, and joy as they adventure in hopes of becoming Pokémon Masters.''

As
''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U]]'' no longer supports mid-match character changes, the Pokémon Trainer does not return as a playable character. While Charizard [[Charizard (SSBWU/3DS)|became a standalone playable character]], Squirtle and Ivysaur were both cut from the roster as well. However, the Pokémon Trainer does make a cameo as a collectible trophy alongside both Squirtle and Ivysaur. The 3DS version also features Calem and Serena, the playable trainers from ''Pokémon X and Y'', as a singular trophy under the name "Pokémon Trainer (Pokémon X & Y)".

*Oddly, in the sequels, ''Gold'', ''Silver'', and ''Crystal'' and their remakes ''HeartGold'' and ''SoulSilver'', once the player has access to Mt. Silver, he is stated as "Pokémon Trainer Red", making it the first time his official name is announced, and yet his trophy in ''Brawl'' gives the description of a Pokémon Trainer in general. This may mean that although the trainer is based on Red, he could just to be a random Pokémon Trainer, though this has not been confirmed.

**This makes him the only protagonist with a custom name that isn't given an actual name in ''Brawl'', although he is given a name outside the ''Super Smash Bros.'' franchise, as mentioned above.
