In Galar, there is supposedly two sets of Gym Leaders: the A League and the B League. But in the game, we only get to battle the A League Gym Leaders. My question is: where are the B League Gym Leaders? Why do we never see them? Where are their Gyms located? Why do we never get to visit them in-game?

You know why. Stop looking for autistic "lore" reasons to explain GF's laziness and incompetence.

My issue is mainly that the Galar region feels incomplete because of these B League Gym Leaders. Where are their Gyms located? That's my main question. It feels like there are places in Galar that are inaccessible.

Imagine if you have to defeat all B gyms before challenging any A gyms, like an upstart football club starting from the lowest tier league.

>where are the B league leaders?
In the B league, below the championship league
>why do we never see them?
Because we're not in the B league stream
>Where are their gyms located?
In the towns irrelevant to the game plot
>Why do we never visit them?
They're irrelevant to the plot.
It's a reference to both England's football pyramid and Japan's own J-League (J1, J2, J3) where the better a team in the lower leagues do, they get promoted to the higher league with the worst performing of the higher leagues being dropped in their place.

You do see Klara and Avery in the DLC, but that's the only reference in the game

Yeah that would've been cool. But my main issue with SwSh is that we don't know where the B League Gyms are located. It feels like you haven't traveled across the entirety of Galar. Makes it feel incomplete as a region.

Are you implying that we only get to visit towns that are relevant to SwSh's plot? Meaning that there are other towns that we never get to visit?

According to Masuda, they're located in lore.

This is such flawed logic. We should be able to visit EVERY town in the region. Even the ones not directly involved in the game's plot.

That's nice, I like lore. But I don't like it when said lore implies there are inaccessible places in the region.

That's exactly the problem. I would call that "negative lore". Because it's the kind of lore that doesn't enhance the in-game world, but rather leaves you wanting to see more than what there is in the game.

Is having tiered leagues why you have to get sponsored to challenge them in Galar? I didn't play it.

the best explanation we have is what happens in Bea/Allister case, we know the city only has 1 gym but there are 2 possible gym leaders. Maybe if the current gym loses a lot, they are demoted and the next in line is promoted.

Avery's backstory sort of hints towards a similar system, which means for the year SWSH take place, those are the A league gyms, and maybe next year a different set of gyms is in place.

unrelated, but i wish the games simply had 8 unique gym leaders for each version.

You know what would be cool? A Pokemon Football Manager style spinoff where you can manage a gym in Galar or some other region with this kind of tiered gym system. You'd pick your type, design kits for your gym trainers, manage the upkeep of your own and their Pokemon, and hit metrics against challengers to determine whether or not you rise up in rank to a higher tier or even going from gym 1 to 8.

Does this mean that MAYBE there's only 8 Gyms, but 16 Gym Leaders? Like, each Gym hosting an A Division Leader and a B Division Leader?

Is this what you're saying? This would solve my problem because it would mean that there aren't any Gyms that we don't see.

That's what should've happened. If making character designs for the remaining types was too much, just have the same leader specialize in a different type, even if it leads to Narajna/Uva Academy issues.
