You will need a parent present to help you!

Click “Continue with Consent Process.”
If you do not do this within 48 hours of receiving the e-mail, the child will need to choose to resend this consent e-mail. If you do not give consent within 14 days, then the child’s account will be deleted. - The e-mail will take the parent to Pokemon.com to create their own Trainer Club account. This parent account will be able to manage and control the child’s account.
- Enter the required information. You will need to accurately enter your name, birth date, and e-mail address.
