>>52657191>The fact that in the games a BF character like Caitlin ended up as E4 later is obvious proof that Brains are ~E4 levelCaitlin is not proof of anything, especially when the standard level for post-game facility trainers is to be stronger than the E4.
>Hoenn-Stated to be superior to the Elite 4 by Scott.
-Handpicked for strength from different places, not just Hoenn.
>Sinnoh-Palmer is portrayed as particularly strong
-Caitlin is Elite 4 level, but Darach, the actual battler in the Frontier, might be better than her.
>UnovaBenga's actual strength is left unclear, but he's unlikely to be weaker than the E4.
>KalosBattle Chatelaines are confirmed to be as strong as the champion, so they are stronger than the E4.
>AlolaThe Battle Tree bosses(Red and Blue) are massively stronger than the E4.
>GalarThe Battle Facility boss is the strongest galarian trainer in history, barring the playable character.
Also the strongest champion.>in the anime Ash won the BF in gen 3, and then later, in gen 4 a STRONGER Ash got destroyed by E4 FlintThe animes portrayal is irrelevant to the games.
>it took until gen 8 for Ash to reach proper champion level, and JN Ash is much stronger than any previous AshesAgain, games and anime have no relevance against eachother.
Blue in the games is stronger than most of the Anime's Masters 8, but anime Blue(Gary) gets creamed.
