While challenging the Battle Factory in Johto's Battle Frontier, I think only on Saturdays, a Pokemon Trainer battles with you, and tells you (after defeating him):
You're just SHELLOS, if I say so myself.
I am Gen I & II Pkmn Trainer, so I don't really know what the characters of the new Pokemon are (for example, I would know that a Blissey would care for others). What does that Trainer mean? In other words, what does SHELLOS mean
in this context?

It's a pun. "Shellos", the name of a Pokémon, sounds like "jealous". The trainer is saying you're just pretending you're not interested in his lifestyle, while actually being jealous of him.
In this case, "envious" would be the correct word to use, but "jealous" is commonly misused as a synonym of "envious".

I heard the pronunciation of the word Shellos on Google Translate, and it seems that you are right. Maybe if I was a native speaker (or a proficient enough one) I could have thought of that, but nope, so thanks!
