Not all Trainers walk down the path of a narrow specialty. Some Trainers choose to dabble in a variety of skills, choosing to learn what’s useful for their immediate journey and then moving on instead of dedicating their life to one art. These Hobbyists are fast learners, picking up practical skills easily without necessarily having the background or training usually required.

Trainers who become Hobbyists are usually those who truly do travel across the land, searching far and wide. They meet many different Trainers on their journey and can learn from watching them practice their skills.

Fitting their eclectic skillset, Hobbyists rarely display a theme or pattern to the Pokémon they catch, choosing to catch whatever is around as they travel. A Hobbyist pairs well with most classes, filling in the holes that the more specialized classes have in their skillsets.
