Revision as of 20:56, 16 September 2009
A Champion (Japanese: チャンピオン Champion) is a type of Pokémon Trainer that first debuted in the Generation I 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 Blue also keeps his position.

Trivia
- Unlike the Elite Four, all five Champions have appeared in the anime at some point (Gary counting in Blue's place).
- As of Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, 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 Dragonite, Salamence, and Garchomp in the rematch against him in HeartGold and SoulSilver, Steven has a Metagross in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, and Blue has a Tyranitar in the rematch against him in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen). Also, Cynthia has a Garchomp as well in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum.
