You can tell how he's the champion tough. He's the only remotely challenging fight in the entire game.

Even in Battle Tower, he’s the only challenging aspect of it. Doubles is easy with the rented Rain team if you go with Barraskewda and Pelipper first, and Singles even easier with Mimikyu and Sword Dance before dynamaxing.

You will have to change tactics when he comes up, though, because he’ll most certainly take you off your guard.

Giovanni wasn't called "unbeatable" or "strongest trainer in the world" retard.
He was also a mafia boss and pretended to be a gym leader, he wasn't an actual pokemon trainer, he was a gangster in disguise, stupid zoomer.

Sword and Shield aren't even the easiest games in the series unless you use candies. Which at that point you might as well use the EXP Share in X and Y.
But Leon still has such a large level spike from the battles before him that he definitely qualifies as at least vaguely challenging.

A gangster getting his entire organization blown up by a child is way more embarrassing than losing your undefeated streak to a kid.

This entire post is shitty bait anyway.

but it makes sense, dumbass, more than being an overshilled clown with titles "undefetable" and "strongest trainer in the world" only to get btfo by a little kid.
Also, Giovanni wasn't a dedicated pokemon trainer, unlike Leon, so it makes sense for him to easily lose against Red

Giovanni LITERALLY calls himself the greatest trainer. So did Gary by the way, who is also a 10 year old that managed to destroy the entire E4.

Furthermore, Leon's "greatest trainer" claims make sense in-universe, since Galar treats the League members as celebrities. In real life athletes are always hyped with their accomplishments just like that.

It's not even in the actual game. The "BEST IN THE WORLD" shit is only said in the new Anime season, which only does it because it is using the Pokemon World Tournament as it's battling plot-line backbone instead of a normal gym challenge.

In other words, OP is not only retarded, he is also wrong.

He wasn't, though. Leon is just as good as he's hyped up to be. You were just better.

Leon himself was also 10 years old when he became Champion. It's a Mary Sue losing to an even bigger Mary Sue.

The fate of every pokemon "boss" is to be beaten the protagonist, who is a little kid. You can complain that his in-game battle was easy, but don't go flinging shit because the champion of a pokemon game is beatable.

Did you guys end up liking Leon as a character or his “Undefeated” shtick?

Personally I can understand some of the appeal, especially since he’s more involved, but I didn’t end up liking him as much as I originally thought since he doesn’t really fit what I like best from champions too well.

Yes it is. Because the "promoted character" is being promoted by a literal fucking sports agency. You ever saw FIFA shill Pele by calling him "a completely normal player with completely normal winning streaks because if we say he is the best in the world that will trigger an autist on /vp/" ?
>>43714677
I think that his personality is bare as hell but it's atleast more than Steven, Cynthia and every Not-Alder champion has had.

>fucking sports agency
He was promoted by TPC and the anime staff, claiming him "strongest pokemon ever" too

Gary saying he's the strongest trainer is just normal for children. Most children who play games say they are the best players at fortnite for example.

Also, if "a literal fucking sports agency" claiming him as "strongest trainer in the world" yet he lost easily against the MC, this makes him more pathetic loser because his entire marketing is nothing but lies and he's a fraud

Are you fucking insane? "TPC" was just describing the fucking character as he was fucking shown in the actual game. In the game he is the undefeated and young champion that you, someone younger, is gonna try to take down. In the anime he is also the same because Ash's goal is to take him down. It's that simple. Characters in the game flat out fucking say "no matter how young you are, there is always someone younger", you taking him down and repeating his own feat of winning the champion at 10 years old is the entire point.

Probably the worst part is that they made the in-game day/night cycle (until postgame) based on the player's story progress. So we can actually know that canonically the entire thing, from the start to the end of the cup, only lasts A FEW DAYS. The undefeated champion, the one who never lost once, maybe one of the world's best trainers, who became champion at age 10 and kept his title for 8-10 years... got his asshole rekt by a noobie kid in less than a week.
