"Pets"
- A pokemon companion.
- Cannot be entered in contests or be trained to protect a human.
- Just there for love and affection.
Of course all everything said above can be changed if the pokemon is registered to a character's license. Then it can be entered into contests or be trained to be stronger, but they likely will never be as tough as a protector or documented pokemon.
Most people do not do this because it is nonessential, that when an oc registers a pet it becomes solely the responsibility of that oc. If it is sick the character will be held accountable to pay the hospital bills, if it dies from neglect or a bloody demise it will go down in PRDA files, ect; this is sometimes not worth the trouble because the risks outweigh the benefits. (this is because a pet is technically a wild animal until it is registered - weak and not much of a threat)
Pets are illegal to catch with pokeballs, because once caught, a character will have two weeks to register them to a license before the Concealment Crime comes into play.

"Protector"
- A defender pokemon.
- Can be entered in contests and can be trained to protect.
- Very popular amongst starting trainers; PRDA releases them to new licensed owners.
These pokemon are mostly used by new trainers, as their first partner and charge. They have been rated by the PRDA to be strong enough to protect a human from the natural nuisances of life, examples are: combee, spearow, weedle, paras, spinarak, skorupi, joltik, and durant. These pokemon are not for battle but for protection, distracting those wild or raging pokemon and giving their trainer a chance to run away.
"Documented"
- A powerful ally.
- Can be entered in special contests. Danger rate above average.
- Must have either a college degree or class-course educated certificate to register these pkmn.
Depending on which pokemon a citizen wants to obtain (let's just say an electric type), you could be talking about a dangers class, tools of the trade course, worst case scenario class, responsibility and power class, and domestic handling course.
"electric"-dangers class : teaches how many amps it takes to spook, render unconscious, paralyze, kill, ect and many other important topics about electric pokemon. tools of the trade course : tools used to help discharge sick electric types, the handiness of rubber gloves, how to makeshift necessities during emergencies, ect. worst case scenario course : what to do when an electric pokemon is out of control, pokemon discharging during thunderstorms, ect. responsibility and power course : every citizens' right to own, consequences of destructive pokemon, average cost of a lawsuit, ect. domestic handling course : psychical experience and tutoring with trained, tamed electric pokemon (yay a field day!).
(of course different continent different rules and the general rule of thumb - ask before do)
"Documented" (high)
Pokemon used by military and royalty only. It is against the law for an average citizen to obtain one.
(unless of course you get a royal grant from a monarch or a letter from a president)
"Forbidden"
- Those caught carrying a Forbidden pokemon in a pokeball will be arrested.
Forbidden pokemon were logically rated for their savage tendencies, uncontrollable psychic abilities, or toxic and poisonous tendencies. These pokemon are extremely lethal and it is highly recommended by every government in Pokiere to stay clear. Citizens stay far, faaar away.
"Extinct"
- Those that find a labeled Extinct pokemon should report it in, immediately. Alive or otherwise.
Now Extinct pokemon are only labeled so because they haven't been seen in over 2o years-- this does mean that a species could have hidden somewhere but it is very unlikely; humans are everywhere these days... there are not many places to hide for such a long time. (but life finds a way... /mysteriousness)
"Pokemon Moves"
By "leveling up" (aka training, contests, races, ect) your pokemon can learn any attack its species can. There is no four move limit in Pokivere. TM ("Technical Machine") will now be an acronym for tutor move. Tutor moves are what they sound like; a pokemon will need to be taught their TMs, they cannot simply learn them instinctively like leveling up. HM ("Hidden Machine") moves don't exist. If a pokemon can fly, it already knows how to. If a pokemon can swim, same thing.
