That's true... that is QUITE A LOT of people to consider managing. Still, I think there is validity in the idea. For one, Heleor is right. Trainers are intended to be found around the convention and not necessarily at Meetups. Second, all Assistants have to do is say Hi and hand out a card, I'd like to think that most human beings are considerate enough to manage that.
There is a slight concern with less trustworthy Trainers just handing out a pile of emblems to their friends without earning them and pre-screening against that sort of behavior would be laborious. On the other hand, I feel like everyone here is here for the love of pokemon and GLORIOUS POKEBATTLE and genuinely wants to help out. I think the first to be considered for trainers should come from the list of those who didn't quite make it as a Gym Leaders.
Even if every Leader has only one trainer or assistant, it's still a feasible idea. We'd just have to find a reasonable number of emblems to request.
