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.

I believe I was thinking more of an individual who would be focusing on the biology, behavior, and emotions of pokemon with/without their human companion. I think I would focus on trainer in that aspect. Thank you.
