==Pokémon League Competitions Across Continuities== | |||
===In the Games=== | |||
In the game continuity, the Pokémon League challenge consists solely of collecting 8 badges and challenging that Region's Elite Four. | |||
===In the Games=== | |||
In the anime continuity, the League challenge is a tournament. Trainers qualify by having at least 8 Gym Badges from the relevant region, and then an elimination tournament takes place between the qualifying trainers. The winner of the tournament is invited to challenge that region's Elite Four in battle. If the trainer defeats the Elite Four, it is most likely they are eligible to join that region's Elite Four whenever one of the members retires, similar to the reward for the Battle Frontier in the anime. | |||
===In the Pokémon Special manga=== | |||
In Pokémon Special, the Pokémon League consists of a regional tournament held every 3 years in each region. There are two ways of qualifying for the tournament - either by having eight Gym Badges or defeating a large number of other applicants without Gym Badges in preliminary rounds. The Pokémon League is sanctioned and run by the [[Pokémon Association]]. In addition, in the Pokémon Special manga, there is no Elite Four challenge. In Pokémon Special, Elite Four are simply powerful groups of four trainers from each region who ally themselves with each other for power, and their activities are not sanctioned by the Pokémon League or related to the Pokémon Association - indeed, the activities of Kanto's Elite Four were villainous in nature. | |||
