I've just been thinking lately, who do you think is the strongest trainers, who's stronger than who, what is a strength indicator? Take any region, say Hoenn; you have all 8 Gym Leaders, the Elite 4, the Champion, and the Battle Frontier. Is it a fair indicator to say there's a strongest in them? From the PWT we know that every gym leader has strong Pokemon, so you can't just say that Juan is stronger than Roxanne. And the Elite 4 are linear in this but they can also have the same case, is Drake really the strongest when Glacia should be able to wreck him? And Steven has higher level Pokemon than Wallace, why is he not champ? And with the Frontier the Brains supposedly offer a greater challenge. And are all strengths relative to each region? The PWT proves the Champions face each other, but because RNG you never know which is canonically stronger. And besides that, can ordinary joes be stronger too? With people like N it can be assumed he beat Alder with one Pokemon(though it was legendary), and what about people like Colress? And there's even trainers in post-game areas that are possible stronger than the Elite 4/Champions. What do you think on the matter? Sorry for the essay
