The Player (Pokémon GO)

==Summary==
Little is known about the Pokémon GO protagonist, other than the fact that they love both Pokémon and their friends, to the point of constantly surrounding themselves with both of them. While the game has about as much plot as a walk in the park does, their general mission is to catch, train, and bond with Pokémon, skills they eventually got very good at, and eventually was given the choice to side with Team Valor, Team Mystic, or Team Instinct. When Team GO Rocket invaded the world, they joined forces with Professor Willow, Blanche, Spark, Candela, and trainers all over the whole world regardless of teams to mount a counterattack against the evil corporation, even coming to blows with Giovanni himself several times. To this day they continue catching, training, and battling Pokémon, and nobody would have it any other way.

*Poké Balls
*Pokémon Box: A device that currently allows the Player to store up to 4000 Pokémon inside it.
*Mega Bracelet: A device that allows him to temporarily Mega Evolve his Pokémon, making them vastly stronger than they were before. It should be known that he wears this purely for fun as he utilizes Mega Energy to Mega Evolve his Pokémon and thusly does not need a Mega Bracelet.
*Rocket Radar: A radar that allows the Player to locate any GO Rocket Leaders nearby.
**Super Rocket Rader: A radar that allows the Player to locate Giovanni.
*Incense: An incense with a mysterious fragrance that lures wild Pokémon to him for 30 minutes. As of recent events this has been upgraded to 60 minutes.
**Mystery Box: A strange black box with a red and blue cover that, when opened, will start steadily spawning Meltans near the Player for him to catch. If he eventually gets enough of their Candy, he can turn one of them into a Melmetal.
*Egg Incubator ∞: A device that incubates a Pokémon egg as the Player walks. Unlike any other Incubator, it will never break.
*Rare Candy: A special type of Candy that the Player can use to replicate Candy from any species of Pokémon, even Legendaries, allowing him to power them up or evolve them even further.
*GO Transporter: A machine that the Player has access to that allows him to transport his Pokémon from the GO universe into Pokémon HOME, a nexus between the GO universe and the main game universe.
*Anything found in a PokeStop
Intelligence: Extraordinary Genius (Managed to outsmart Giovanni and beat him in a Pokémon battle, even though the evil businessman had stronger Pokémon. Defeated Candela, Spark, and Blanche in professional Pokémon battles, all of whom are considered geniuses in Pokémon battling in their own right, Blanche even being as obsessed with knowledge as Candela is with a Pokémon’s strength. Alongside Professor Willow, they managed to uncover the ancient mysteries behind numerous Mythical Pokémon including Mew, Celebi, Shiny Celebi, Jirachi, Victini, and Meltan. Frequently finds and catches Legendary Pokémon, which are plentiful in the world of Pokémon GO. Reaches breakthroughs in the field of Pokémon research weekly)
Weaknesses: Formal Pokémon battles in their world only utilize 3 Pokémon at a time. Can only use 2 Protect Shields per battle. Is not as smart as Professor Willow or the Team Leaders in a scientific sense, hence them figuring out how to build the Rocket Radar instead of him. The Super Rocket Radar can be fooled by decoys, usually forcing the Player to visit multiple places in search of the real Giovanni. Collecting Mega Energy is an incredibly tedious process, and therefore Mega Evolution must be used very sparsely. The GO Transporter can only operate if it has enough energy, and the rarer the Pokémon sent through, the more energy is used up, especially if the Pokémon happens to be Shiny.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
*List of moves that can be performed in Pokémon GO
*Mega Evolution: A transformation that eligible Pokémon may undergo which increases their strength, speed, and durability dramatically, as well as changes their biological typing to become weaker or more resistant to different elemental attacks.
