Past experience and examples are both great tools for learning. Even in the realm of Pokémon combat this is true; having witnessed a Move and being able to study its dynamics is an extremely useful thing. And what better way to do this than to have it recorded?
Chroniclers capitalize on this concept, getting close to the fray and capturing the finest details on how a Move is executed, whether through Recordy, artistic appreciation that later becomes a painting or other work of art, or analysis that goes into a journal. From this they can learn how to best avoid it in the future, and potentially even teach their Pokémon to use it.
The Chronicler Class introduces bonuses for keeping Records of Moves and Environments, but its main draw is an alternative tutoring method using these Records. These Features allow you to take the Moves you commonly see and turn them against your foes. Additionally, its low entry requirements and reliance on universally useful Skill make it a nice class for Trainers who don’t specialize in Trainer Combat.
