Who would you be?
An ordinary citizen?
A trainer?
A breeder?
A researcher/professor?
Bill?
A member of an evil team?
I'd be a trainer/breeder, but I'd ignore the evil teams and gyms.
I don't need to be a master by official means. I'll just intercourse everyone up off the books.
I'd probably be a trainer. One of those stupid people who only use one Pokemon, except I can make decent move sets. Who knows, maybe if we met, it would be a decent battle, you with your team of low-level thirties, all against my level fifty two.
I would be the rival of the protagonist. Or more likely a Lance like character.
I'd be the mysterious bad ass whose Pokemon were never in there pokeballs.
but I was told that we all live in a pokemon world
and I would want 2 b a master

Being an ordinary citizen sucks. I'd go out for adventure and capture God.
I'd probably be a trainer. But I might end up with one of the evil organizations. They're very persuasive..

Especially that guy at the end of Nugget Bridge in R/B/Y/FR/LG.
Breeder sounds fun, but I can't do EVs or IVs (whichever is the one you breed for; I think it's IVs?). Maybe I'd be a trainer. Probably an Ace Trainer. Maybe earning badges and challenging the E4 for the poops and giggles. If not, I'd like to be with Team Rocket or possibly Cipher.
I'd be just like the protagonist of the games. Catch 'em all, train 'em, etc. When I get old, I might become a professor, but still battle.
As for Trainer classes, I'd probably be a Rich Boy/Kid, Ace Trainer, Cool Trainer, or Bug Catcher, seeing as I'm those in my games.
Going more by the show--in short--I'd want to travel with Ash and his friends. I'd take his female friends off his hands 8) (except for Misty), seeing as he's not doing anything with them. ;0
I'd be a regular guy with a truck. I would stand by it and shout at all the kids "Hey you little intercourse tards! There's no gosh darn Mew under there!"
A lot of you are still acting like it's the game, there are no EVs or IVs, there's no 4 limit on movesets, once the Pokémon learns the move he has it forever (I think).
In all honesty, what I would be and what I'd wanna be is different. What I most likely would be is a trainer/citizen, my Pokémon are my pets, but I battle with them in my town, probably lose many of them too. Then I would go on the internet and tell you guys on NSFCD how easily I could kick your asses with my Pokémon.
Another thing I'd probably do is get a Haunter, and teach it to make me invisible, I would possibly steal stuff and be pervy in other things, as many others would probably be doing, which would make the cops make something that would make that not work and my plan would be ruined.
I'd probably be a scientist working on how to turn humans into pokemon; eventually having a team consisting of Gardevoir, Gallade, Flygon, Espeon, Leafeon, and a Blaziken (unless I figured out how to make myself one).

The animé and games use the same rules and such (e.g. there is a 4 limit on movesets--even in the show--, as was confirmed on the official Pokémon website). The show also describes things--such as abilities--that started in the games. I assume that there are EV's and IV's in both as well, although unmentioned in the show because of their complexity and the fact that they're not needed in understanding the show.

About four moves? I don't believe so.

Ash's Pikachu frequently uses:
Thunder
Thunderbolt
Thundershock
Quick Attack
Iron Tail
Volt Tackle
Agility
and I remember his Pidgeotto knowing and using frequently:
Gust
Whirlwind
Quick Attack
Agility
Wing Attack
The anime constantly breaks that rule, as those two pokemon weren't the only ones to do it.
According to Bulbapedia, Frontier Spenser only uses an Arcanine in the games. Frontier guy Tucker has an Arcanine in the anime, but it only has four moves.

Pikachu also used Rocket Punch in one episode, not even sure if Pikachu can even learn that in the games. But he wore boxing gloves to do it, I think they were training for some battles done in a wrestling ring hosted by Jesse & James.
Some of those facts may not be true due to the fact that I feel like I'm mixing a few episodes together.
But yeah, they break the 4 move rule all the time.
And I don't know where you got abilities mixed up, but yeah those are in it.
Another thing the anime doesn't do is the electric vs ground, it hurts them still, I didn't know this until recently shown in some thread, and I'm sure it messes up some other weaknesses too.

@JrDude: Yes I pointed out the electric-ground thing about a month ago. Electricity still hurts pokemon in the anime most of the time. Examples are when Pikachu beats Onix and when he beats Blaine's Rhydon.
On the original topic: I would probably be something like a researcher/professor/scientist. Managing, collecting, examining, and documenting pokemon, but without going out all that much. And using their powers for alternate purposes.
Regarding some recent posts:
The anime sometimes declares a shared mechanic with the games, then breaks that rule in other episodes. Like with the Electric-Ground issue, it's noted at least once early on (in the first season's pokemon academy) and probably numerous times later that electricity cannot damage Ground-types but Pikachu is often shown beating Ground-types with Electric attacks. I would personally consider that, and the four moves issue, simple oversights on the part of the people making the anime.
Regarding EVs/IVs, the primary purpose of them is probably to make real training better than gained experience through other means and to make each pokemon have unique stats, respectively. Both of those aspects are demonstrated on the anime in some way, but the specific mechanics regarding the numbers and such cannot really be adapted to a different media.
Essentially no breeding mechanics are actually shown in the anime, beyond the basic fact that low-level first-evolutionary-form Pokemon can hatch from eggs in a trainer's possession and at a higher starting friendship level with the trainer than a wild-caught Pokemon. Move inheritance, stat inheritance, and even valid parent pairings aren't shown as far as I know.
I feel like assuming Pikachu can hurt ground types because he was super charged in an episode where Ash considers using a Thunder Stone on Pikachu since he can't beat the Gym Leader's Raichu.

This is correct and how it's supposed to be in the show. But obviously, this is not always the case.

Yes, but they weren't supposed to. The official Pokémon website said that it was a mistake if there's any instance of a 5 rule moveset.

I don't think they constantly break it, as I always count four moves in each episode that I even bothered to. The only instance I can remember counting 5 moves is with Lt. Surge's Raichu.

Again they don't break the 4 move rule all the time. If they did, then the majority of movesets in the show would have to break the rule--but they don't.
And, in case you didn't know, "Rocket Punch" is not a real move. It was made up solely for that episode. The Electric versus Ground-Type rule is broken enough to be noticed though. But since Generation IV in the show, I think they got much better about it.

I don't know about Blaine's Rhydon, but Ash's Pikachu technically didn't use an Electric move to defeat Brock's Onix. It used the Electric-Type move to set off the sprinklers in the Gym, which got Onix wet and thereafter defeated it.
lol just browse on bulbapedia. Most of the pokemon Ash has, has more than 4 moves and if you watch the show, they use them all.
Why you guys think a game mechanic is law in an anime is beyond me. The limitation is in the game for balance, and think about it, if the real world had pokemon, why would they all only be able to remember 4 moves? It wouldn't make any intercourse ing sense and if the anime didn't have the pokemon use multiple moves it'd be stale.
Breeder.
Maybe a trainer on the side, but most likely not.
Oh, and even though it wasn't mentioned, I believe some of you would believe it since you believe in the 4 move limits if this were reality, but there would be no level up system either, so how exactly would they evolve?

It would evolve based on happiness with the trainer, or based off of age.
If you take like 30 seconds to think about that question i'm sure you could come up with 30 different answers : D
Probably a very eccentric Gym Leader who would piss off the Pokemon League by making the theme of his Gym balance instead of an easily-exploited single element and turning his Pokemon into erudites by having them read and write critical essays on various classical historical works.
Oh, yes. The Gym would also be pink, frilly, and covered with yaoi.

Blue already did that.
I'd probably be a Pokemon biologist. How badass would that be? You get to figure out how the bastards work, and you really have fun when they drag in a legendary.
In reality, I doubt anybody would be able to catch a legendary, and since they're legendary it would probably be illegal to catch them anyway since there's barely any of them on Earth, making them an endangered species. Also Master Balls would probably not exist yet and would be worked on every day maybe.
I'd likely be a baddie. The thought of using Pokemon for my bidding is, well, exactly what I'd do. And chances are, I wouldn't be nice.

Blue was a former Champ who got demoted; I'd be too lazy to even go for Champ in the first place. Also, I'm pretty sure Blue doesn't have a history obsession or a taste for yaoi. Not that there's anything wrong with either of those things.
I'd live in Kanto. I'd start with a Growlithe (and later get a Squirtle from the Prof). Then I'd travel, catch the Pokemon I liked (not going to bother catching them all, hell no) and just enjoy life on the open road. That's my dream in real life, so I'd basically be doing the same thing, just with Pokemon. I'd battle for money, but also get my Pokemon some experience and street cred by stealing from various towns and places. I'd battle the Gyms for the shiny badges to show off, but probably wouldn't enter any tournaments.
It's possible that I would leave Kanto. But I doubt I'd want to leave my region at all. If I did, it'd be for the exploration. I wouldn't bother myself with catching more Pokemon - might battle some of the Gym leaders for something to do.
In the end, I'd probably have a team like (in order obtained): Arcanine, Blastoise, Pidgeot, Raichu, Alakazam, and Gengar.
Open roads, starry nights, the wind carries the scent of adventure... That's the life.
I'll elaborate on my original post now.
I'd be a trainer and a breeder, but I'm not out to get them all. I'll only collect those I like and occasionally a few that I know are strong. Breed them, trade them out to those who want them.
If I had to choose a starter, it's be Squirtle and he'd be with me until I die as Squirtle or Wartortle. I don't need Blastoise.
I'd definitely find a Farfetch'd and train it so that (and this is not going by the games standards), it'd be intercourse ing strong.
I'd travel from time to time, but since I'm a breeder I can't go too far. Maybe leave it with my loved one when I wanna explore.
I'd ignore Team Rocket unless they came at me, in which case I'd just intercourse poop up.
I'd accept any challenge from any trainer. I'd only go to gyms if I was bored.

Even if they do break the rules much, they still don't in the majority of the cases. Besides, the point I'm making is that the writers aren't supposed to break the 4 move limit rule--but rather, acknowledge it.

Actually, there's one instance of levels mentioned by Giselle in the episode
The School of Hard Knocks. I'm not saying that there definitely is a level system in the animé--just that there "isn't definitely
not" a level system. In other words, there's a chance, as it's been mentioned and is not yet disproved.
This maybe completly cliche, but I would want to be a gym leader, or maybe even an elite four member if I was good enough.
