SpoilerEdit: So I liked Rider character, but I also dabbled with a few others. I'm having trouble really liking any one of these characters over the other, so I'll post all of them up here and see what you guys say.
Rick Hayton
Sergio Dos Estoban
Gunter Gunkreig
Edit:
Gnola made a very excellent argument about how snaggers are terrible. Sergio is great and the team could use a healer. I'll flesh out Sergio Dos once I get a chance (probably Tuesday night).

Rick loves one thing: riding on pokemon. He has the dexterity to do it and the charisma to get away with it. As a coach, he can channel his charisma directly into stat boosts for his pokeymans.
He will be riding this pokeman.
Rick also has the coveted Authority Figure because of backstory. This means that he can boss around most cops and law enforcers, a useful skill if you're trying to cover for illegal activities.
His pokemon would be rideable, probably with stealth to activate "All terrain mount"
There is a good chance Rick will try to ride you around like a horse.

So there were some things in Sergio that I really liked. The lesson here guys is don't go too deep into a character's backstory if their shtick is that they are somewhat creepy. Most importantly do not have them watch a pokemon tentacle-murder someone and take a bazillion pictures of it.
This Sergio is much different though, he never explores the sexual realm, at least not openly. He would be the team healer. Let that sink in.
This sergio is a lover, not a fighter or pervert. His crazy high-wisdom and charisma means that, despite his penchant for invading your personal space, Sergio can be quite the likeable guru.
He does not own a camera.
His pokemon is a Mr. Mime.

Gunter here is a typical full force Snagger. Basically he has a chance of stealing other people's pokemon if they have a loyalty of 2 or lower. His stats are pretty average all around, and he could possibly gain Multitask at level 10. He also has room to take on another class if it seems useful.
His pokemon would be one he stole - of course.
Also he probably has a gun.

Sergio joined Rangers. All tests were easy for Sergio, love for pokemons drove Sergio through. Sergio is talented, ambidextrous, flexible.
Sergio saw peoples hurting. Pokemons would befriend Sergio then heal them. Sometimes they did not want healings, but Sergio knows better.
Sergio developed skills for healing pokemons and peoples. Sergio is very handsome, has delightful accent.
Rangers did not appreciate Sergio's techniques. Ranger commander thought Sergio too affectionate! HOW CAN YOU HEAL WITHOUT AFFECTION???
Sergio knows the answer is not at all. Sergio will heal all peoples and pokemons. If they do not want healings, Sergio will show them they need healings. They will see from Sergio.

Befriend
At-Will
Trigger:: Sergio successfully restrains a wild Pokemon with his Styler.
Effect: Give the Pokemon the Helpful title. This ally will remain under the Sergio's guidance until it is hit by an attack, severely distracted, or has helped Sergio in a significant manner once, such as by making an attack. You do not get a list of any capabilities or moves you cannot deduce yourself, and it cannot be taken from the area you found it in or it will run away. You may only give the Helpful title to one Pokemon at a time.
Companion
At-Will
Trigger:: Sergio successfully restrains a wild Pokemon with his Styler.
Effect: Give the Pokemon the Companion title. You may only have one Companion at a time. If you give a new Pokemon the Companion title, you free the other Pokemon and replace it with your new Companion. To make the wild a Companion Sergio must sacrifice half an hour upon giving it the Companion title to bond with the wild. This process starts the Companion at Loyalty 2 at least and obedient towards Sergio, regardless of circumstances before Befriending. The Companion gains experience and levels exactly like a Captured Pokemon, as well as counting as Owned for the purposes of levels and features, but cannot participate in official battles or contests (doing so is fraud). The Pokemon cannot be returned to a poke ball and it costs 150 credits to heal at a Pokemon center. Companions are considered Helpful, but act in combat as if they were owned.

Maybe there's something about Maury, or it's that Mr. Mime as a species has a tendency to gravitate towards the unsettling, but Maury approached Sergio while Sergio was rubbing a "healing salve" over a drowzy Ryhorn.
Without saying a "MR MIME" Maury just dipped his hands into the lotion and begin mimicking Sergio's actions. Sergio shooed him away at first, but the curious Mr. Mime returned until Sergio relented and caught him with his styler - thus freeing the Ryhorn from his salve-based servitude.
When Sergio was dismissed from the Rangers, he managed to keep his badge and styler, and Maury continued to follow him.
Eventually, he just used a pokeball to catch Maury...
Sergio wondered why no one had ever thought of that before.
