Pokémon Military Rankings

Just a quick note for people, this is quite plainly Headcanon, so it's not actually how the Pokémon world works with their armies, who knows how their military works. This is simply a list of rankings for the Pokémon World's version of the military, at least in my viewpoint, BUT! This is canon across all of my fictional stories taking place in the Pokémon world, so if you're curious then feel free to read through and think about what this might mean in the grand scheme of things. Yes this will also be sorted based on my opinion and include the difference between each "faction" of the army or military including general officers just for the heck of it. Also there will be a mystery Dungeon Version of it as well just because hey that game is awesome but we'll need a quick sheet for ranking.

Now, onto the actual list I guess.

Exploration Team Ranking

Well I did say that I would talk about this, since it's a pretty big thing I would reckon, especially since not many people bother trying to work out the ranks for stories and simply seem to allow their characters to do anything. But since this is pretty much what the military is in Pokémon MD, well I think that having the system outlined may paint an easier picture, especially when it comes to my story.

Normal/Rookie

Bronze/Apprentice

Silver/Apprentice Officer

Gold/Officer

Diamond/Sergeant

Super/Lieutenant

Ultra/Captain

Hyper/Major

Master/Deputy

Master(one star)/Assistant Sheriff

Master(two stars)/Sheriff

Master(three stars)/Admiral

Guildmaster

Other Rankings that don't really fit with the mould:

Secret

Some rankings may differ depending on the series or whatever, but generally this is the ranking system that I would use... it's kind of neat actually... especially since technically the Secret ranking isn't exactly on the list officially since it's almost impossible to achieve and you're not exactly supposed to let people know when you do get it... which kind of sucks... but hey, That's life.
