All should have the same prestige except Alola league for 2 reasons
1. It is a different region, it does not have gym leaders and apparently not recognized by Charles Goodshow, there is no champion, it does not seem to be broadcast outside the region, there is no elite four ...
2-It is a new league, the fact that there were no requirements to participate, suggests that it is an improvised league
The first point makes zero sense lmao, Charles Goodshow didnt even appear for the Unova or Kalos league so they must be less prestigious as well then. Ofc there isnt a champion, its the FIRST league
For the second point thats literally you pushing your headcanon. It was the first league so of course it would have different things such as no entry requirements. The narrative and literal anipoke sources treat it as a league like any other, it being less prestigious or not as important is purely fan made up headcanons
It most definitely was.
>had no 6 on 6 battles
>gave him super strong mythicals
>last minute evolutions
>unqualified referees and judges
>no alain/tobias equivalent
>pikashunium z
It's like the universe itself wanted him to win. He didn't struggle AT ALL.
I love how you include the pikashunium Z but no six on six battles as if kukui doesnt count, cherrypicking to fix your bias
Giving him super strong mythicals? And? He had meltan for a while and it evolved like it does in the game and didnt contribute to him winning, it played the least part in his victory
Last minute evolutions played no part lmao, Incineroar happened after Ash won and Naganadel did nothing much in his overall victory
Unqualified referees and judges? Said by who? Just because Nanu made a mistake? As if qualified people dont do that, again pulling BS out of nowhere and treating it as canon
Yes he did struggle, and he deserved to win owing through his entire journey in alola but nevermind that
Idk why peeps wanted to reignite the same discussion and bump this thread, its tiring. Acting as if their headcanons of alola being a lesser league is fact when the narrative and anipoke official sources have always treated it as the same. Just because its the first league and therefore its own different rules doesnt mean it isnt important at all but whatever, and kukui is part of the league arc so not counting him seems petty to me but whatever.
