Any prospective players need an example of what a decent character's story might look like? Need some inspiration or similar for yours? Maybe you just need to know what kind of trainer other players are before you make yours? Well, maybe my character's backstory can help ya with that. I'd like to introduce Nathan, a newbie trainer from the starting town of Trillium. Here's the backstory:
A rather emotional and lonesome 16 year old from the town of Trillium who's almost never seen outside without at least a light jacket on no matter the weather and temperature, Nathan's mostly kept to himself throughout his life. He was never really all that interested in adventuring with a pokemon of his own, but all that changed the day he met Ralts. Nobody knows why a Ralts was in the area, as the species is not known to inhabit the wilds of that area, nor is it an incredibly common species to begin with. Despite that, Nathan encountered Ralts, battered and beaten, while he was out for a rare stroll on one of the trails at the base of Mt. Molten. He couldn't let the little guy stay that way, and rushed him to the nearest pokemon center for treatment, not letting the rain nor the Absol following him through the forest slow him down. Ralts has been incredibly attached to Nathan ever since, and the little guy has certainly grown on him, even if it hasn't really improved his social skills all that much. He wonders who or what left Ralts in such a state though, and is determined to find out, one way or another.
He's a nimble and smart guy, but don't expect him to take a lot of punishment. Much like his Ralts, actually. Don't expect him to be super friendly with everyone to begin with either. He just wants to find out what the heck happened to Ralts the day he met him.
And boom, there ya go. Maybe this gave you some ideas on how the party met? Or maybe a general idea for your character as a whole? Or maybe there's other people who are somewhat close to him that have yet to be mentioned in his backstory(if you want to go that route, you'll have to arrange that with me)? I hope this has been helpful in some way!
