>>47546252>>47546256That'd be pretty based. SwoSh sounds annoying tho.
Out of curiosity, could Gym Leaders also take on the league? Do you need 8 badges + proof that you're a capable, responsible trainer? In HGSS Gym leaders seem to use their "true" teams in rematches. Or just get promoted to E4
>>47546397Interesting! Though I slightly disagree that most of the population lives in rural.
When you fight random Scientists, Hikers or Bikers, do you think they're random people like me and you who just have Pokémon and pursuing their own shtick, or they're also random League challengers? It almost sounds like society wants to produce semi-competent trainers before they hit puberty
>Tfw you will never get a random plumber who suddenly reveals he was a runner up in a league tournament and reveals his fully evo PokémonAlso, yeah. That's my gripe with High school really. Depending on some subjects or schools it teaches you critical thinking or memorization but I really felt like high school didn't teach me a whole lot to make me mature as a person. Except maybe reading comprehension and training my brain.
>>47546470Why are there a relatively large amount of Pokémon professionals at a young age? Tate and Liza, Maylene, Cheren, etc. Are you telling me Brycen does coke behind the scenes to juggle both high stress movie acting and Gym battling?
