For a long time, I wanted to make a version of the Favorite Pokemon Picker at The Cave of Dragonflies where you could instead sort the human Trainers. In 2019, I learned that the Picker's source code was released to GitHub late in the previous year. My sincerest thanks to Butterfree for both making the original code and for releasing it to the public for anyone to use, which has made this longtime dream possible. If you've ever used the original Picker, you know how this works; if not, you can check the original Picker link to get a good idea of what to do.
Ideally, I want most of the Trainers here to use their images from the Pokemon Masters mobile game, given it will eventually have a large amount of Trainers in a consistent style, but currently only a select amount have Masters images. If a Trainer has an available Pokemon Masters image, I use said images courtesy of Serebii.net. If they do not, I use other artwork of them found via Bulbapedia as a placeholder. Some characters I include might not ever be included in Masters, but most hopefully will.
Note that some Trainers are relevant to multiple regions. I have yet to figure out how to assign multiple generations to a single Trainer, so I typically limit a character to their debut region. There are some exceptions - for instance, I categorize Anabel as an Alola Trainer because I feel her role as an Ultra Beast investigator in Sun and Moon is more significant than her Battle Tower role in the Hoenn games.
Include Trainers from the following regions:
