Probably Red.

The Champion

But the Frontier Brains are often stronger...

>>29432034
I don't think a 10 year old boy is eligible to be president.

Silph Co.?

Pokemon League doesn't equal government in anyway. It's the highest appointed role ever shown, but consider there is money and government run facilities depicted in the series there is presumably an unknown figure along the lines of a president or prime minister.

daaaamn she gets my vote

>>29432055
Post-game ain't canon :^)

I would imagine the governing bodies are not highly relevant to a dog fighting competition, so we likely never see anything relating to government in the games.
The champion is in charge of the league, not a lawmaker or policy starter.

>>29432108
As we all know, there are no policymakers in charge of dogfighting in our world.

At least early on, I always imagined that the Pokemon world was sort of like historical Japan, sans an emperor.

Each city was ruled by the gym leader, who was the most powerful trainer, functioning like a shogun. The Elite Four were the Daimyo, the most powerful shoguns, and bowed to the most powerful trainer in the area, the Champion (who is effectively like Nobunaga).

>stronger
Frontier Brains battle you with unique conditions, not outright strength.

>>29432308

Im willing to bet that each region is independent and that there isnt a particularly strong central government.Considering that every single criminal team has had to be stopped by a 10 year old and only a few bumbling authority figures its more likely that the big Gym leaders/Elite 4/etc are the closest thing to a military/police force that exists

>>29432020
he is not known.
the show is never much about government officials.

>>29432020
>President
Pokemon nations are all monarchies anon.

>>29432421
Odd that he wouldn't be known when we have had two Kings in the Pokemon world so far, and now a toppled Monarchy too in Sun/Moon.

>>29432399
Police are seen in Yellow and Sun and Moon

If we're going by the anime, there's been at least 2 kingdoms in Hoenn and Sinnoh. I don't think Kalos has de facto royalty anymore.

>>29432399
Regions like Unova and Kalos kind of complicate that, as does Looker, since he's apparently a part of the Pokemon equivalent of INTERPOL.

>>29432461
And they're largely ineffective.

>Regions like Unova and Kalos kind of complicate that, as does Looker, since he's apparently a part of the Pokemon equivalent of INTERPOL.
Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh are also confirmed to be in the same nation

Clay is the mayor of his town, so we know that there is some sort of government system in place that we never see, at least in Unova.

"a utopian"
because the "u" in "utop" is pronounced as "juu" not "oo"

4chan has broken me, thought you were complaining about jews for a second

>>29432083
The Pokemon world obviously has a caste system where the stronger you are, the more you can do. If you have no Pokemon, you can't even leave your town. I'd imagine that since the champ is the strongest trainer, and holds the safety of the entire PokeEarth in his/her hands, they are the highest authority.

I mean, who's gonna say no to the most powerful trainer? The champ can do whatever the fuck they want.

>>29432461
Fucking AMERICA is mentioned in Gen I. America, at least, is canonically in the Pokemon world. As is war. As is war using Pokemon.

>the prime minister of the pokemon league
this should be the next evil team, they need to fuck off with this "THE UNIVERSE IS IN PERIL BECAUSE SOME FAGGOT WITH A LEGION OF RETARDS ARMED WITH ZUBATS DECIDED HE WAS GOING TO CAPTURE GOD" shit
have them do a hostile takeover of the league and start replacing gym leaders with their cronies, you could totally build a good story off of that

>>29432447
>Kings

I never saw these episodes but as you know. monarchs hold no power nowadays.

And in the end, you were right

>>29435662
What was the backstory for that guy who had a fucking Mewtwo anyway

>>29434847
how can you know they talk about real life america and not another region that is called America?

>>29432072

Red's like 19 now assuming it's a 5 year gap between 4th and 5th gen.
