Looks be damned at least they were a challenge and have more than 4 pokemon...and the "champion" is likable and challenging.

So, it's established that every time they leave the building (maybe just their chambers), the Champion has to refight the E4. Do the other region champions just kind of camp out in their championship room?

I think other gens actually did it wrong by making your champion status not mean anything. Su/mo at least justifies you fighting a "champion" each time you go through the E4 in that it's a good trainer challenging you for the spot. In other gens for some reason the champ you beat still stays the champ and you continue to fight them each time you get through the E4.

I like this a lot better actually, I always thought it was kinda dumb that the Pokemon League was in some kind of fucking castle with hilariously over-the-top props. Gens 4-6 were retarded in this aspect. Alola drops the theatrics and just has a bunch of battle arenas.

Kukui wasn't the Champion you ding-dongs. You're the first one to beat the Elite Four which makes you the Champion. Just like Blue was the Champion after beating Lance.

>>30433842
I wouldn't mind this but it's not really implied to be the case. Unless every region just happens to have an ornate castle right outside of Victory Road?

Gens 1 and 2 make sense since it's just a battle facility clearly put there on purpose, and I always thought the implication of Hoenn's League being called a "city" was that there was a city there but it was re-purposed into a battle facility.

Gen 4-6 just have really jarring juxtapositions between the building itself and the interior. Kalos is by far the worst, with those stupid, pointless, and bizarre contraptions in every Elite 4 room.

I'm pretty sure there was a lot of paperwork and stuff involved, and he just was the person making the petitions and doing the work so the region could get lisenced. And then it got built with some outside funding, he did the plans and stuff the league just helped put it together.
The Elite 4 is like the governing body of the regions circuit and the starting line is the leading scientist/professor that starts trainers on their journey.
Which is why you don't get your Pokemon from a Professor this time around since you're not traveling on the league circuit/doing a professor a favor.

Did Kukui give anyone else a hard time? Maybe it was because my team was horribly type-balanced and all physical, but he really did take me for a spin instead of the typical "sweep the entire team" E4 experience.

Pokémon Leagues are just like international sports teams/leagues. The members likely have no political roles and are just revered battlers like real world athletes or rock stars.

I'm pretty sure the Pokémon world has actual governing bodies, since we see things like the town hall on Melemele. And they have their own version of INTERPOL, which would probably report to a higher organization that's some kind of Poké-UN.

Kukui likely just has a lot of political influence, being a reputable scientist as well a celebrity trainer in Alola. I'm sure he went to whatever Alola's governing body and easily convinced them to build the league after his personal experiences in Kanto.

Pretty sure the Pokemon League being a pollitical force was canon. There was something in the lines about Pokemon League being formed to regulate pokemon battles as sport events in order to avoid people using pokemon as actual weapons against other people and avoid another pokemon war.
