>There are people on this board that actually think Kukui was the Champion

We have this thread but the player is explicitly referred to as the region's first champion. Whatever kukui was, challenger, 5th elite 4 member, just a guy who wanted to have a private battle not officially related to the league, he wasn't the champion.

I mean he is called POKÉMON PROFESSOR and not Champion by the battle intro screen

Every champion has been the final hurdle. That doesn't mean the final hurdle has to be a champion.

>you actually made a whole thread because someone baited you
>>30274174
In Red & Blue, the Champion and the final member of the Elite Four were meant to be the same thing. You only ended up fighting five people because Blue got there first.
How come since then it became standard to have four+ a champion?

You bit anon's bait so hard you went and made a thread about it.

To be fair, weirder shit happened during the game.
