Alola Champion League is the only one that actually matters every other "Champion League" is just a glorified HR department for regional nepo babies
>show up
>beat 8 janitors with type themed autism
>fight the boomer elite four retirement home
>get handed a title by a region that was going to crown someone anyway
Who cares.
Alola is the only league that actually had to build itself from nothing. No centuries of fossilized bureaucracy, no prepackaged "elite four therefore legitimacy" nonsense just pure competitive natural selection.

If you win there, you're not inheriting prestige you're creating it

other regions:
>wow you defeated our carefully curated employee ladder

Alola:
>prove you can survive an actual unpredictable bracket where nobody can hide behind ceremonial status

people hate this because it destroys the fake mystique of older leagues, turns out a lot of "prestige" was just tradition merchant cope
