Please post this into your member request with your answers to be placed in a job!
Please don't complain about the jobs you are offered or the starters. 

Deliberately going for or 'gunning for' a specific job in order to get it or the starter pokemon is NOT permitted, and will result in you being assigned random jobs instead. An easy way to avoid this happening is to give your trainer varied interests that could suit two or more jobs! Remember that there are plenty of opportunities to change jobs and pokemon, the starter is to just get you established! 


Please answer as your trainer would!
