Non-League Trainer characters?

Anyone have any experience running or playing in a game with other Pokemon-related occupations besides League Trainers? I'm considering allowing basically anything in my sandbox game, as long as it's got something to do with Pokemon (no store clerks or schoolteachers, I'm afraid) - Pokemon Researchers or Breeders, freelance criminals or Team Members, Adventurers etc.

I once played as a Capture Specialist in PTU, whose job was to get rare or requested pokemon for sale. From wild types to a pet Buneary for a kid. In this system I imagine that would entail, on top of the capture, lowering Disobedience, and increasing Loyalty for behavior, as well as Happiness for disposition. There are no strictly defined mechanics for how that would work since these stats are RP-related, but I imagine it would work like a Training Session where you roll against Disobedience and/or Will of the Pokémon. On top of the RP, of course.
