So are the gym badges one use only? Ash loses every league,

Don't they have to be from the region in question?
Why would the Hoenn league take Kanto league badges?

Because that would mean waiting a year and he has to stay ten

I meant like say, he just lost the Kalos league, why couldn't he just try again before leaving each region?

>>28291473

It's never been particularly clear, but it seems that they're only good for one cycle.

>>28291488
So why no just wait a year (Training obviously) and go back to the same league?

>>28291488
hes asking why he doesn't he compete in the same league again

>>28291522
Because Ash loves the adventure
Otherwise he just would have stayed in Kanto. We already know he didn't get all the badges there because Gary had some different ones. The journey is just as important as the destination for him.

>>28291522
He's 10. He'd rather go try again in a brand new place than sit on his thumbs for a year training in his mom's backyard.

Then what's the point? He's going around collecting the badges in order to challenge each league. Why all the trouble if he's just gonna walk away after a single loss?

He can
a) wait one year in the same region, competing in 0 leagues
b) wait one year while moving to other regions, competing in other leagues

Ah. That makes sense. Didn't think of it that way.
