In the anime, Is being a frontier brain a more prestigious position than being a gym leader

i wouldn't say so, you'd think frontier brains would be brought in to deal with evil teams because they're the best battlers in the reigon but they just hang out at their amusement parks

Gym Leaders don't have any governmental power. We've seen plenty of mayors and other politicians.

Frontier Brains in the anime are explicitly weaker than the Elite Four and Champions. They're glorified Gym Leaders basically.

Well we know they're better than gym leaders. Watching the hilarious stompage brandon gave Paul, almost as bad as the beating cynthia gave him.

The whole point of a Champion is that they're the strongest in the region. You can't be called a Champion if there's someone stronger than you out there.

Plus I'm pretty sure the same thing is implied in the games too, with Caitlin moving up from Frontier Brain to Elite Four member between Gen 4 and 5. They just seem stronger because of their gimmicks and being given legendaries to make then more challenging in-game due to being postgame.

No, he just battled in Caitlin's place because when she was younger, she had anger issues, and her psychic powers meant that the temper tantrums she threw when she lost were destructive. When we see her in BW as an Elite Four member, she's matured enough to be able to handle losing.

And yet Blue wasn't champion in Gen 2. Wasn't a member of the Elite 4 even though he was in the Pokemon League running a gym, and had higher level Pokemon, in greater numbers than the champion Lance did.

Also how would Will and Koga oust Agatha and Lorelei but not Bruno? Something other than objective partycomp and W/L Ratio is going on.

Levels are an abstraction for gameplay purposes. Lance simply trained and got much stronger between Gens 1 and 2.
