#REDIRECT [[Pokémon Champion#In the games]]
A '''Champion''' (Japanese: '''チャンピオン''' ''Champion'') is a type of [[Pokémon Trainer]] that first debuted in the [[Generation I]] {{pkmn|games}}. It is the name given for the Trainer who last defeated the [[Elite Four]] and the previous [[Pokémon champion]].
 
Although the player character is always introduced to the Champion before challenging the Elite Four, there is often nothing to suggest their status, so it is often a "surprise" to find out that that person is the Champion.
 
After becoming Champion, the player returns home, rather than staying at the Pokémon League to fight challengers. The previous Champion keeps his/her position. This may be a decision of the player character and his/her family rather than official Pokémon League rules, as Champion {{ga|Blue}} also keeps his position.

==Trivia==
<!--* Unlike the Elite Four, all five Champions have appeared in the {{pkmn|anime}} at some point ({{Gary}} counting in {{ga|Blue}}'s place). (Adeku has not yet)-->
<!--* As of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, all the Champions (excluding Wallace) own at at least one [[pseudo-legendary]] Pokémon at some point in their respective games, and have them all amongst themselves (Lance has {{p|Dragonite}}, {{p|Salamence}}, and {{p|Garchomp}} in the rematch against him in HeartGold and SoulSilver, Steven has a {{p|Metagross}} in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, Blue has a {{p|Tyranitar}} in the rematch against him in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} and Cynthia has a Garchomp in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}). (Adeku does not)-->
<!--* All the champions (excluding Wallace) has at least one relative that appears their respective games. Lance is related to [[Clair]], Blue is related to [[Daisy Oak|Daisy]] and [[Professor Oak]], Steven is related to [[Mr. Stone]], and Cynthia is related to her [[Professor Carolina|grandmother]]. (Adeku has none known)-->
* In HeartGold and SoulSilver, all Champions from previous [[paired versions]] appear. {{ga|Blue}}, the Champion from {{2v2|Red|Green}}, {{2v2|Red|Blue}} and {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, is the [[Viridian Gym|Viridian]] [[Gym Leader]], Lance from {{2v2|Gold|Silver}} is of course the current Indigo Plateau Champion, Steven from {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}} alerts the player to {{p|Latias}}/{{p|Latios}} roaming and later gives the player a [[Hoenn]] [[starter Pokémon]], and Cynthia from {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} appears in the [[Sinjoh Ruins]]. Only [[Wallace]] does not appear; however, he was Champion only in a third version ({{v2|Emerald}}), while all others aside from Steven were Champions in all games of their region.
** {{ga|Red}}, although not a Champion at the time, also appears and can be fought at [[Mt. Silver]]. He is the only [[player character]] Champion to appear.
* The Gym Leaders in the French versions are called ''Champions'', while the champion is called ''maitre''. ''Maitre'' means master, while ''Champion'' simply means champion.
