That didn't sound right, so I took a quick look at the level four trainers on the market right now, just as a quick snapshot. Of the next ten level 4 trainers listed, only two have a salary under $20,000 and 8 are above that line. The bidding on the two under that line is at $520,200 for Leo Belu and $173,400 for Achacjusz Anonim, an auction with more than seven hours to run. Of the other eight level 4 trainers, only one has a salary in the $20's, and his bidding is already up to $325,000. Three salaries are in the $30's, three in the $40's, and the final guy has a salary of $79,340 (he also has a specialty).

So, upon closer scrutiny, a nice "calculation" turns out just to be a story. I would like to see fair calculations on this topic.

I was just here to explain the "20k a week" thing.

Okay, and you know the "20k a week" thing is pie in the sky, right? [I could have used much stronger language.] One out of ten in an admittedly small sample was affordable (unless the bidding soared after I looked), one was bid grossly high and the rest were already above $20k before they were even bought.

You cannot say New York City is generally populated with giraffes just because once there was a giraffe in NYC. You cannot say a level four trainer generally costs $20k a week just because one may have.

I would still like to see a fair computation of the current situation.

And two of them, with salaries of $18,476 and $16,207 just failed to get an opening bid of $1,000. You could have bid on these guys days ago and gotten either one. No bidding war. No need to be online when the auction ends. And this really is not that uncommon. I normally dump my lvl 4 trainers when their salary hits $20k/wk and find another one with a starting salary below $13k, spending somewhere between $10k to to $100k to make the purchase. Been doing that for a long time.

When I search for trainers I am shown the following skill levels:
1. basic
2. competent
3. advanced
4. superior
5. exceptional
6. world-renowned

I begin to suspect that maybe I am not being shown something.
