>>33866707A proper Pokemon league with an actual tournament, like in the anime. (PWT is close, but doesn't count)
The anime just does this way better I think. Making the world feel more alive, like it's filled with trainers that are in direct competition with you.
Just imagine winning all your badges, and then being able to complete in the annual Pokemon tournament.
You could battle against randomly chosen trainers, some that maybe you'd even beaten already on your journey, only with boosted teams. You'd battle in a huge stadium, filled with crowds of people. And of course, you'd face your rival in the final.
They could even make it cool and have it show the tournament bracket, and have it show both you and your rival progressing on different sides. They could also add in cut-scenes between battles, of your trainer waiting in his designated room, being visited by various story characters and having them encourage you on.
Only after becoming champion and winning the league, would you then be able to go on to fight the elite four.
