Why is the Champion the Champion if there are trainers stronger than him/her?

Apr. 30, 2021

In the post game of several games, there are trainers that are stronger than the champ, as well as wild Pokemon that are just as strong or alittleweaker than the champ. Is this just GF logic, because it seems to me that the Champion and their Pokemon shouldactuallybe the strongest Pokemon and trainer in a region. So is there an explanation for this, like: Those trainers choose not to compete against the E4, or are quiet/timid, or is this just Game Freak Logic pulling another one.

It’s Game Freak logic.

But, logically, it’s for the levels to be scaled to yours. Would we want a champion with level 80 Pokémon if we had levels in their 50s? Of course not. Would we want weak trainers during the post game that we can easily run right over? Nope. Game Freak doesn’t strive to be the most logical game, it wants entertaining games that it can sell. Would the TV show be fun if Ash lost every battle because of his weak Pokémon? No. Would it be more fun if he won some? Yes.
