The Pokémon League (Japanese: ポケモンリーグPokémon League) of Sinnoh is the location of the region's Elite Four and Champion, who may only be challenged by the player after defeating all eight Sinnoh Gym Leaders. It is located on an island north of Route 223 and west of Route 224. Inside, the player can challenge the Champion, after defeating the Elite Four in order.
Like in Kanto and Hoenn, reaching the Pokémon League requires first passing through Sinnoh's Victory Road (and a large waterfall) to the south of the League building. The Sinnoh League is located in a castle reminiscent of a Gothic cathedral, having a rose window and two towers at the very front of the building—a characteristic of Gothic architecture.
When entering the Pokémon League building for the first time, Barry will encounter the player on the ground floor, as the player attempts to gain entry to the first challenge room. In Pokémon Platinum and Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, once the player completes the story events at Stark Mountain, the levels on the Elite Four and Champion's Pokémon will increase.
The lobby of the Pokémon League consists of a large, combined Pokémon Center and Poké Mart on either side of the room. In between them is a gateway to the Elite Four, blocked by a guard who will grant access when the player has earned all eight Sinnoh LeagueBadges. The guard is a male Ace Trainer. Like in other Pokémon Centers throughout Sinnoh, the lobby of the Pokémon League building grants the player access to the Wireless Club and a basement where they can access Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl and Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, the lobby design scheme resembles a large Pokémon Center. In Pokémon Platinum, the lobby has been upgraded to have its scheme being changed to a mainly black one and the escalator to the Wi-Fi Plaza being moved nearer the one to the Wireless Club.
Preceding each Elite Four member's room is a blue and white hallway separated into two distinct parts by a small lift and lined with yellow and red lights. The first hallway leading to Aaron's room has a longer lift than the others, and the hallway to the Champion's room features a longer hallway after the lift.
In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl and Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, all the Elite Four rooms have white cauldron-like fixtures emitting green light in each of the corners, a Poké Ball design in the center of each room, and a floor color scheme generally matching their type theme. In Pokémon Platinum, these cauldron-like fixtures have been removed, and the rooms contain various items pertinent to each member's type theme. The Champion's room is different from the others, and is larger as well as containing a lift to the entrance of the Hall of Fame.
