It usually refers to a Trainer who has completed a [[Pokémon League]] by collecting all the necessary [[Badge]]s, and either winning a regional Pokémon tournament or defeating the [[Elite Four]] and the previous Pokémon Champion (if there is one). There is usually only one Pokémon Champion per region at a time. [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] share a Champion, while other regions have their own. It is assumed that the Champion must defend their title against challengers, as stated in [[Generation II]] games and [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|its remakes]], in which {{ga|Red}} is said to have become the Champion after defeating {{ga|Blue}}.
