It would have been interesting that while famous champions were backed by powerful companies or institutions, Steven thanks to his father, Cynthia on behalf of the Sinnoh museum, Leon for almost all of Galar and this because, as in the real world, the rental of stadiums, equipment , training gyms, plane tickets are not free and investment is required to move all these sports worldwide.
Instead rookies like Ash and Iris would have to start from the bottom with a humble sponsor, for example the Magikarps seller for Ash (a fishmonger) which would cause him embarrassment to show his shirt with a slogan of a fat magikarp and an ice cream shop for Iris (Oh the irony) or even thanks to Bianca her millionaire friend.
It would also have served as a pretext to show the other gym leaders of Galar, under the pretext of fixing a problem in some location, they would meet the gym leader or trainer on duty who is obliged to attend because it is their sponsor.
