I understand that the current roles started above are: Trainer, coordinator, and explorer. If I had to focus on one based off from the general definition (which I know your definition might differ) I would have to focus on the one that would fit a scientific individual the best and that would possibly be explorer. Someone who wants to explore the world and learn about the environments and different types of pokemon. Though I feel like my idea could fit into the trainer role on the basis of learning to teach as well. What do you think?

Honestly, a scientist could work really well for any of the three roles. It all depends on what drives them.

As a Trainer, maybe they’re studying combat mechanics in the field, trying to understand the way Pokémon adapt through battle, or testing a theory on how emotional bonds affect performance. As a Coordinator, maybe they’re trying to quantify beauty, charisma, or the subtle language between Pokémon and audience.

And as an Explorer, the fit is probably the most natural. If you check the OOC, you’ll see that in this region, there are 22 magical brooches known as the [i]Major Arcana[/i], each tied to either a Gym Leader, a Contest Icon, or one of the Elite Four or Champion, except for one: a brooch that’s been lost to time. An Explorer with a scientific mind might be driven to study the origin of these artifacts, uncover their true nature, and follow the trail of the missing one.

So yeah, go wild with your idea. The role can absolutely bend to fit the character, as long as their motivation shines through.
