Pretty sure Wataru has never been called a Champion in the anime.
He easily could have lost the title in the time in between. Champion isn't something you are for life.I find it hard to believe that was the original intention. Anyway, if they called him a Champion back then, they should still call him that now. It doesn't matter if there are three people below him or four. I'll wait for the actual episode to render the verdict. This summary doesn't refer to Leon as a Champion, either.
It isn't that hard to stick to the GSC version where it's one set shared between two regions and led by Lance as a Champion. Since this is the World Championship rather than a regional Champion League, Lorelei and Agatha could still compete even if they retired from the Elite Four (that's how the PWT handled retired gym leaders).
Wasn't he referred to as a champion in the lake of rage episodes? I remember him Being called that and i dont think it was a dub only thing
Ash: Wow, it's Lance!Wow Finally some continuity
Weren’t you guys asking for continuity? Lance being just an E4 member makes sense. The Champion of the Indigo League is Jon Dickson
Im afraid that this might happen lolAsh: Wow, it's Lance!
Go: Huh, you know him?
Ash: Nope! First time I've seen him!
I hope dont. That would be so lameIm afraid that this might happen lol
Ash: Wow, it's Lance!
Go: Huh, you know him?
Ash: Nope! First time I've seen him!
Bell Tower episode already showed the damage. I expect the worst anyway.Which would be weird since he has a red Gyarados, and only previous anime only Lance could've had a red Gyarados so semi continuity would be weird.

Was he referred to explicitly as the Kanto Champion, because there is a difference between Johto and Kanto.
And Lance was never the Kanto champion, but he was the Johto champion (games wise, again I'm not sure about anime that's why I'm asking)
Sure, why wouldn't they call him the Johto champion instead of Kanto Elite Four, but I'm sure its whatever. Plus I guess it is weird to have an Elite Four member actually battling a champion of another region in a contest to see who the greatest is, as that might presumably imply an Elite Four member beat Cynthia for example (not that it actually happened, and the writers always have questionable story/plots that ultimately contradict each other, or not clear enough, so I shouldn't expect more.

Ash could still say something stupid about meeting Lance the first time or forget who Lance even is, sadly.I'm so ****ing happy they're not pulling a Steven on Lance, seeing him with Red Gyarados is pure awesome!
And also basically confirms it is indeed a Mega vs Gigantimax battle like I thought it'd be
Though it is annoying they're downgrading him from a Champion to a Elite Four member... why? Unless they actually plan on introducing the Johto Elite Four then I don't see the freaking point
