| The term '//pokémon trainer//' does not imply that someone battles. Pokémon trainers are simply humans who dedicate a significant portion of their time toward teaching pokémon in some fashion, be that as helpers for the disabled, as workers for certain chores, as suitable for a life as pets, as entertainment providers (e.g. by performing tricks) or as creatures for battle. Even the very last point is not looked down upon - even if instinct suffices in a pinch, a basic battle training is considered a good thing for pokémon to get if you can afford a basic course or know to teach them the basics yourself. It's when you teach pokémon to battle with the intent of actually //doing so// on a //frequent basis// that people start to be wary of you. | The term '//pokémon trainer//' does not imply that someone battles.

| Gym leaders provide several services to people who come to their gyms. The first is pokémon training. The second is leadership for settlement defence, ranging from police-like services to military-like services (though in the history of Sehto, this has been unnecessary, and it's //highly// questionable whether any PokéGym in Sehto would be competent in fielding this if it suddenly //became// necessary; but in theory it's part of the deal). The third is fulfilling a 'village elder' function, mediating civil or criminal disputes between people. | Gym leaders provide several services to people who come to their gyms.

| In effect, they wield an incredible amount of power within their respective towns - and it's for this reason that they pointedly are //not// in a position to collect resources from others. Everything given to gym leaders is voluntarily donated - with the note that it's considered socially unacceptable for people to use the gym services and never donate anything, and if such a practise becomes known, people can easily find themselves ostracised (by the city/town, not by the gym leader). Good gym leaders, like [[character:Yarver Bakema]], tend to end up rather wealthy for this reason. Since they're very much unable to be a power monopoly (by very design), however, people aren't often concerned about that effect. | In effect, they wield an incredible amount of power within their respective towns - and it's for this reason that they pointedly are //not// in a position to collect resources from others. Everything given to gym leaders is voluntarily donated - with the note that it's considered socially unacceptable for people to use the gym services and never donate anything, and if such a practise becomes known, people can easily find themselves ostracised (by the city/town, not by the gym leader); so, in a way, it's best to consider PokéGyms 'pay what you like' endeavours.

| | In larger settlements ([[place:Nightclaw]], [[place:Vale]] and [[place:Njoty]], specifically), the PokéGym's pokémon training service is for advanced training only (thanks to the large volume of people it'd otherwise need to be there for). |
