Each class has it's own colour, but the only reason we have them is because they all have their own features, as well as their own limits.
The Trainer is someone who focuses entirely on challenging the gym leaders around Elix, and the Elite four. Their main goal is to defeat the Pokemon Champion. They could eventually become gym leaders, after they defeat the Elite Four, and the champion. They aren't allowed to join contests, breed, or work for a professor- and are moderately less likely to find any rare items.
The Coordinator focuses entirely on winning contests, be it beauty, cool, tough, smart, cute, etc. Their main goal is generally to either win first place in all the contests they participate, or simply have the most attractive, intimidating, cool party, etc. They cannot fight gyms, breed, or work for a Professor- and are moderately less likely to find rare items.
The Breeder is someone who simply makes eggs and hatches them- selling them to others depending on the breed. They focus on collecting Pokemon, specifically, and selling the offspring. They also generally are known to keep Pokemon that are prone to evolving according to happiness- such as Pichu, or Riolu. They aren't allowed to join contests, fight gyms, or work for a professor- and are moderately less likely to find rare items.
The Researcher is basically a Professor's assistant. They're given tasks and assignments to complete by an NPC, and will get rewards and the such for completing them. They're a bit more likely to find rare Pokemon, and if they've done a good enough job completing their tasks over a certain period of time, they could also become a Professor. They aren't allowed to join contests, challenge gyms, or breed- and are slightly more likely to find rare items.
The Collector is primarily someone who searches for rare items. They collect them, keeping them for themselves, or sell them to the highest bidder. These items are generally evolutionary stones and the such. They aren't allowed to join contests, breed, or work for a professor- and they are moderately more likely to find rare items and Pokemon. Their chances of finding shiny Pokemon are multiplied by three.

Now then, there's also the option of choosing more than one of these classes- but there's also a certain post count that you must reach before having the option to do so.
For example, As soon as I hit 100 posts, I could either stay as a breeder, or I could choose a second class for my character- so she/he could be a breeder/trainer, or a breeder/researcher. Whichever you like. However, make sure that you PM an admin or mod notifying them that you want to be duel classed
Now then, you're probably wondering what benefits multiclass characters get. Well, they get whatever each individual class gets on their own. For example, add a trainer's characteristics with a collector's. This character in particular will be able to challenge gyms, but also gain the 3x bonus collectors have in regards to finding shiny pokemon. They're also moderately more likely to find rare items, as opposed to the trainer's original chances; slightly less likely. If you have any questions, PM me.
ADDITIONAL CLASSES:
The Professor: Only one person can have this class, and only researchers are eligible. (This class replaces "Researcher", if obtained) The Professor's characteristics are the same as the researcher's. They aren't allowed to join contests, or breed- and are slightly more likely to find rare items. (as well as have a 1.5x multiplier when it comes to finding rare pokèmon) But there's one more advantage: The Professor has their own laboratory, and receive 300 pokè money each time they moderate within that forum (as themselves.) In other words, you are THE Professor who distributes starter packages and the like.
How can you become The Professor? First of all, as already mentioned- you must be a researcher. Secondly, you must have completed a minimum of 15 research missions. Not only that, but you must also fulfill the requirements to be a moderator, seeing as you will in fact be acting as a moderator within the Laboratory. Finally, you'll need the administrative approval of at least TWO admins.
The Elite 1/2/3/4: The Elite 4 consist of some of the top trainers in the region. To obtain this class, you must have at least defeated all of the members of the E4. At which point, whether you defeat the Champion or not, you have the option to take any given Elite #'s place. Requirements; must be a Trainer, must meet the requirements to be a moderator since you'll be acting as one within the forum, as well as have the administrative approval of at least TWO admins. The Elite # has no alterations to their benefits: refer to "Trainer" for statistics.
The Champion. The best of the best. You must defeat the Champion in order to obtain this class, you must be a trainer, must meet the requirements to be a moderator, and must have the approval of at least two administrators. The Champion is paid 10000 pokèmoney for every battle won.
