>Lillie will become the Champion
Can we stop this fucking meme? In a series lasting 20 years, only 4 NPCs have been strong enough to become Champions. 3 of them were confident in their abilities and had resolve of steel.
Lillie is not strong. She just started. She doesn't have the personality to be a strong trainer, let alone a Champion.

pick one
>she just started
depends on how far in the future the next game takes place
what would even be the average time for a trainer to go from a level 5 starter to becoming champion? has pokemon ever touched on something like that?

>resolve of steel.
Indeed

If literally whos like Iris and Diantha can be champ then Lillie can be anything.

Does it matter? Trainers like Volkner, who've been a Gym Leader for years, can't even become the Champion. Some literally who isn't going to, if they aren't the protagonist.

He means 4 NPCs from the ones who weren't champions already.
Not sure where he got 4 though, there's more than that.

These ones didn't exactly "become" champions. They were already the champions when the games started.
>Lance
>Wallace
These two only became champion because the last one stepped down.
>Blue
>N
>Iris
These are the only NPCs to become Champions.

There are still hundreds of them. May, Wally, Silver, Barry, Hau, literally all of the NPC you meet in Victory Road. It's not easy to become a Champion.
In SM the youngster on the first route can challenge you for the champion title, the Alola E4 lost to a 6-8 year old boy I'm sure anyone can tough it out and become a champ.
People who think Lillie will be champion couldn't be assed to pay attention to the story. She's going to Kanto for her mother, not because she wants to be the best.

Maybe they should fucking carry six Pokemon, it's like they're not even trying

Unlike how it works in-game, the more Pokemon you have, the more work for you. Not everyone can handle having six pets at the same time.
