1. Paldea - The new Top Champion Juliana reignited passion for battling region-wide, and with
her wife Nemona as the new Head of Battle Studies worked tirelessly to make Naranja Academy the foremost institute of learning on Pokémon battles in the world.
2. Galar - While the region mourned the loss of its Invincible Champion Leon, he was succeeded by an era of fierce competition between Gloria, Hop, Marnie and Bede, with the championship never belonging to anyone for longer than a season of the Galar Cup. The League Challenge is more popular than ever as their deadlocked battles inspire greater participation in the Gym Challenge than ever, as well as more trainers on average clearing more Gyms before ending their run at the title.
3. Unova - Formerly on top of the world, the melting pot of the Pokémon world still possesses a wide variety of elite trainers from a berth of origins, and Blueberry Academy has not diminished in quality; the competition has simply seen a surge. Director Cyrano has begun conducting inter-regional tournaments between BB Academy and various sister schools in other regions to offer students a wider array of opponents as learning opportunities in battle courses.
4. Hoenn - The Battle Frontier has grown in popularity year after year for well over a decade, and with increased participation, the residents of the Hoenn region boast increased knowledge on Pokémon. It's rare to find a trainer these days who can't boast at least a few participant rewards from the facilities there.
5. Sinnoh - Once a hotbed for trainer activity, the surge of Trainer pride in their esteemed Champion Cynthia waned with her retirement to pursue archeology full time. Though their Elite Four remain among the toughest in the world, participation in the League Challenge has dropped.
