He's clearly talking about Red, since in the remake they don't keep things about Red secret like in the original GSC, and just the fact that he's in the Champions Tournament of the World Tournament should tell you even more that he is a Champion.

==Red as Champion== | |||
I think we can all establish the fact that there is canon evidence to support Red being Champion (eg. HG/SS reference, actual Champion title given, he can be fought, etc.). However, the only problem I have with this piece of information as it is would be the location. Red shouldn't be under Indigo Plateau, rather it should be Mt. Silver because he is not fought in Indigo Plateau itself. He shouldn't be categorized with Blue and Lance.

I think | :To put something on top, "The player has always met the Champion before challenging the Elite Four"? I don't remember seeing him in GSCHGSS before Mt. Silver. Shouldn't we correct that? [[User:TeudowEthan|TeudowEthan]] ([[User talk:TeudowEthan|talk]]) 08:20, 23 April 2014 (UTC) | ||

Blue [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgNm2WZtGWY#t=7m52s refers] to himself as "League Champ" in FRLG. Oddly enough, seconds later he refers to the player as "Pokémon League Champion". [[User:Marked +-+-+|Marked +-+-+]] ([[User talk:Marked +-+-+|talk]]) 20:40, 27 December 2012 (UTC) | |||
== N as Champion? == | |||
Just out of curiosity, would N be canonically considered a Champion? He DOES beat Alder himself in Black and White, and you do have to fight him as (one of) the final boss after beating the Elite Four. I think he would fall under the same category as Blue, being a Champion only temporarily, and like Red, not listed as a Champion when fought. These are just my thoughts, but I'd like to know what you guys think. [[User:Zorocario|Zorocario]] ([[User talk:Zorocario|talk]]) 19:09, 9 February 2013 (UTC) | |||
:Quote from N just after he defeated Alder: | |||
::''"It's over! Never again will Pokémon be made to suffer or be held captive by humans. It's all thanks to my friend, Zekrom/Reshiram! <b>You may have the title of Champion…</b> But you can't stop me with just a title. Your soft heart has left you weak. Years ago, you lost your Pokémon, your partner, to sickness. In order to forget the pain in your heart, you wandered Unova… Who knows how long it's been since you've had to fight with your full strength? I actually kind of like that about you, though. <b>As a Trainer who far outmatches the Champion</b>, I shall issue an order across Unova: Trainers of the world, free your Pokémon!"''' | |||
:This seems to indicate that while he defeated Alder, he chose not to be Champion. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 03:49, 10 February 2013 (UTC) | |||
Yeah, but you can't choose to be champion. I think the champion is the strongest trainer in the region, or in the case of Indigo, regions. Basically, the champion is whoever defeats the last champion. I think while Alder had the legal title of Champion, but N was the true champion- he just didin't formalize it. I think it's sorta like how Lance is Champion in G/S/C/HG/SS, but Red is obviously stronger and was known to have beaten Lance a few years before. Maybe we should just include both of them.

:I don't think we should add him unless something explicitly says he's considered a champion to be honest. --[[User:Funktastic~!|<span style="color:#009900">'''It's'''</span> <span style="color:#CC66FF">'''Funktastic~!'''</span>]][[User talk:Funktastic~!|<sub><small><span style="color:#99CCFF">''話してください''</span></small></sub>]] 18:43, 20 April 2013 (UTC) | |||
::The Champion is not necessarily the strongest Trainer in the region, it's just the one who currently retains the title, who gets it through Pokémon League protocol. I don't believe N collected 8 Badges, so while he defeated the Elite Four, he wouldn't qualify to become Champion anyway (and he let Alder keep the title). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 13:30, 24 April 2013 (UTC) | |||
:::I know this isn't the newest thing ever, but I'd like to point out some things in favour of him being a storyline champion, like Red. I don't believe N would force his way through the Gates that check for badges, nor would he evade them. As you remember, he truly believed he was doing right, and he clearly didn't try and be a criminal, and I doubt he would enter the league without the badges. My second point being in the Super Music Collection for Pokemon Black and White, his battle theme is listed as "決戦", which translates to Decisive Battle. This title is only ever used by Champion Steven and N. Thoughts? [[User:ArtistKyurem|ArtistKyurem]] ([[User talk:ArtistKyurem|talk]]) 05:25, 10 March 2014 (UTC) | |||
::::The "''far outmatching the Champion''" phrase seems pretty clear. It's never been stated you're not allowed to refuse the title anyway. | |||
::::The name of the battle theme can be explained by the fact that the guy just summoned his [[N's Castle|Castle]] to [[N#In the games|attach]] to the Pokémon League, and that you're battling his {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup/5|Bl}}/{{p|Reshiram}}{{sup/5|W}} with your {{p|Reshiram}}{{sup/5|Bl}}/{{p|Zekrom}}{{sup/5|W}}, putting each others' beliefs on the line for the future of Unova.<p> | |||
::::So my thinking is: | |||
::::'''Did he have all the Badges?''' | |||
:::::→ '''No:''' If you're thinking you're gonna save the world, then Badges can probably wait. It's very possible for him to have said <nowiki>'</nowiki>''look over there!''<nowiki>'</nowiki>, and then storming in. | |||
:::::→ '''Yes, did he know that makes you the Champion?''' | |||
::::::→ '''No:''' He's ignorant. | |||
::::::→ '''Yes:''' He refused it. ''(the currently accepted solution)'' | |||

:::::Keep in mind that the entirety of N's Castle is past thee Badge Check Gates; N was raised on the other side of them, so going between the main region and his home would not be necessarily intentionally evading them. The entirety of Team Plasma, even those who followed Rood and N in B2W2 and actually loved Pokémon, was past the Badge Check Gates, so I don't think it is appropriate to think about the members evading the gates as much as just having their base of operations past them. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 09:24, 23 April 2014 (UTC) | |||
::::::Well, it was and it wasn't.

::::Like I said, he either didn't have all the badges to qualify for the title, or if he did, the phrase <i>"As a Trainer who far outmatches the Champion"</i> either means he's ignorant enough not to know that or he refused the title (e.g. being against the whole ideology). | |||

== If Red is considered a champion, shouldn't all protagonists be considered champions as well? == | |||
After you beat the champion in any game technically you are the new champion. So, shouldn't the other protagonists be put on the list of champions? | |||
I can't really think of a reason why Red is the only one there except you can actually met him in game unlike other protagonists. Still, that shouldn't exclude other character from the list. | |||
I think Red should be put in another list. A "non-active champion" section, since Red never actually plays the role of the champion in any of the games (unless you count the Pokemon World Tournament which I don't because a champion's main role is to be the final challenger in the Pokemon League and the PWT isn't a part of that). | |||

== Iris and Diantha == | |||
Since Iris is the champion in Black 2 and White 2, the Opelucid Gym Leader in White, and is expected to run the gym in the anime, should it be stated that Iris is the first Champion Ash battled? Or does that bit of information go to Diantha? I think I left something about this on Diantha's page, but I can't remember, and this topic has my curiosity piqued.
