#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).
*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}}, and Blue has a {{p|Tyranitar}} in the rematch against him in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}). Cynthia has a Garchomp as well in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.
* In HeartGold and SoulSilver, all champions from [[paired versions]] appear. Blue, the Champion from {{game|Red and Green|s}}, is the [[Viridian Gym|Viridian]] [[Gym Leader]], Lance from {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} is of course the current Indigo Plateau Champion, Steven from {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} alerts the player to {{p|Latias}}/{{p|Latios}}'s roaming and later gives the player a [[Hoenn]] [[starter Pokémon|starter]], and Cynthia from {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} appears in the [[Shinto 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.
* Every Champion of their respective games has also fire,water and grass-types.Blue has Venusaur,Charizard and Blastoise(Red and Blue as well as Fire red and Leafgreen),Vaporeon,Flareon,(Yellow)Arcanine and Gyarados(Gold,Silver,Crystal,HeartGold and SoulSilver).Lance has Charizard and Gyarados(Gold,Silver,Crystal,HeartGold and SoulSilver).Steven has Cradily(Ruby and Sapphire).Wallace has Ludicolo,which is Water/Grass(Emerald)and Cynthia has Roserade,Milotic and Gastrodon(Gastrodon was only in Diamond and Pearl because it was change by Togekiss).
