>>46601749You're confusing written canon with viewer observation.
>Its one season of a tournament. And 1v1 dynamax finals make it a bigger joke than SMs league desuBut it's still treated as the biggest tourney in the world by the characters. I agree with you though, in reality it's a shitshow.
>And winning it doesnt make him an official regional Champion - which you definitely want to achieve on the way to a Pokemon MasterWinning makes him a world champ, and is effectively bypassing regional champ status.
>I dont see how beating Lances Gyarados in a 1v1 dynamax battle makes him the strongest trainer.See my first point. I agree with you, but when you disagree with the writers of the official canon, all you can do is play a game of pretend. It's like playing a homebrew space marines chapter: you can fluff them up to be as grand as you want, but canonically they can't hold a candle to the writers favourite smurfs.
