Server Roles
Ace Trainers
Organize raid RSVPs
Ace Trainers are courteous, friendly, and helpful members of the community, just like you! They can operate RSVPkachu to make RSVP roll calls. Their username colors may be green (city/region role), red (Valor), blue (Mystic), or yellow (Instinct).
Gym Leaders
Represent the city communities
Like Ace Trainers, Gym Leaders know how to operate RSVPkachu to facilitate raid organization. They can pin informational posts to be easy to find and reference. They are also familiar with local areas and can help lead raids, for example, by separating into team-specific/smaller groups to maximize chances to catch the raid boss. The Gym Leader role is distinguished by the pink color.
Elite Four
Moderate the "neighborhoods"—regions and channels
Why are there more than four if they're called the Elite Four? In the Pokémon universe, it's canon that the Elite Four of each geographical region are the strongest, most experienced trainers. They are also trustworthy leaders—know how to have fun but serious when they need to be. In addition to RSVPkachu mastery, they are the go-to folks if there is an issue or conflict that needs resolution. If the Bay Area Mons raid alerts go down, they can activate GymHuntrBot. Elite Four usernames are displayed as purple on Discord.
Champions
Manage the server, inside and out
Champions of PGBAR are the server admins, constantly working to make sure things run smoothly on the Discord server as well as on the ground. Keeping the vision and drive to improve the PoGO raid experience, they are focused on developing the organization with experience and integrity. The Champions MNAK and RJ aka MisaCampo have their usernames displayed in orange. Literatrix in the Ditto role is a soft pink.
