Why is Edgeworth a pokemon trainer
Oh great. Now you're making me imagine everyone from Ace Attorney as a pokemon trainer and they're all highly exaggerated.
Phoenix: I've become a pokemon trainer to open your eyes to the truth! Pokemon training is not just about victory!
Edgeworth: Shut up! I'm going after Team Rocket! Small fry like you are merely a waste of time!
Phoenix: GO CHARLEY! [Insert plant pokemon that is similar in appearance]
Edgeworth: GO PESU! [Insert dog pokemon that looks like a shiba. I gave up after gen 2.]
[Insert battle here, though I imagine at one point, Pesu lifts his leg and "waters" Charley. Also Nick eventually wins.]
Edgeworth: Nooooo! How could I lose?! I trained them so hard!
Phoenix: EV training alone won't take you to victory! You need the power of friendship!
Edgeworth: But I get Pesu groomed every day and everything.
Phoenix: So wanna be best friends again?
Edgeworth: I'd rather be rivals.
Phoenix: That works too.
Meanwhile, Gumshoe would be the first and easily beatable gym leader, Maya would be the hyperactive ghost gym leader, Franziska would also be a gym leader and whips everyone who beats her and Larry's the lazy guy in the road who won't move until he teaches you how to catch pokemon, even though Nick and Edgey already know how.
Phoenix: We learned this in fourth grade, Larry!
Edgeworth: Seriously. Weren't you paying attention?
Larry: Eh, not really.
And then, in Gen 2, Apollo and Athena are the two player characters and Franzie, Godot, Klavier, and Blackquill can be the Elite Four. And Edge is Pokemon champ. And Nick's the one chilling in the mountain for no given reason.
Also, first thing I thought of when I saw Greninja: "Katie has obtained the facade used to overcome life's hardships: THE PERSONA DISCO NINJA FROG!"
