The general structure of each League Conference is similar: {{pkmn|Trainer}}s must register for the region's [[Pokémon League]] before they earn any of the region's Badges, something which they can do at seemingly any [[Pokémon Center]] or with a [[Pokémon Professor]], and then must win at least eight of the region's [[Badge]]s in order to be able to register for the competition.
The general structure of most League Conferences is similar: [[Pokémon Trainer]]s must register for the region's [[Pokémon League]], something which they can do at seemingly any [[Pokémon Center]] or with a [[Pokémon Professor]], and then must win at least eight of the region's [[Gym]] [[Badge]]s in order to be able to register for the competition. In addition to this method, the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]] is known to accept entrants who have passed the [[Pokémon League Admissions Exam]] or graduated from [[Pokémon Tech]].


The tournament competition itself has an opening and closing ceremony. In some regions, there is a torch with the flame of {{p|Moltres}} or {{p|Ho-Oh}} that burns during the entire tournament, a reference to the [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world|real world's]] {{wp|Olympic Games}}.

The day after the ceremonial torch has been lit, in some of the regional leagues the qualifying rounds begin so as to weed out Trainers who have gotten the required eight Badges, but are not yet skilled enough to continue, and those who survive move on to the preliminary rounds. In other regional leagues, instead, the preliminary rounds will begin right away, and will continue for several days until the top sixteen Trainers have been decided. At this point, there is a short break in the competition so that the Trainers and their Pokémon may rest, followed by the start of the final rounds.

In the final rounds, most, if not all, battles are [[Full Battle]]s, with each Trainer competing with six Pokémon on each side.

Certain Leagues use various types of fields during Pokémon battles. While Conferences held at the Lily of the Valley and Vertress uses only a standard dirt battlefield; the Indigo, Silver, Ever Grande and Lumiose Conferences held battles on various different battlefields, like icy, rocky, forested, grassy and water to name a few. A standard rule for the Conferences with a myriad of battlefields, is that during the full battle stage in the tournament, once one side loses three Pokémon, there is a short break, during which, a field change occurs.  
In [[Alola]], due to the lack of Gyms in the region and the fact that its Pokémon League was only recently established, no specific conditions need to be met in order to enter its League Conference, and its winner will directly become the first-ever Champion of Alola.

A Pokémon League Conference (Japanese: ポケモンリーグの大会 Pokémon League Tournament) is an anime-exclusive championship tournament that is hosted seemingly annually in several regions in the Pokémon world.

Structure

The general structure of most League Conferences is similar: Pokémon Trainers must register for the region's Pokémon League, something which they can do at seemingly any Pokémon Center or with a Pokémon Professor, and then must win at least eight of the region's Gym Badges in order to be able to register for the competition. In addition to this method, the Indigo Plateau Conference is known to accept entrants who have passed the Pokémon League Admissions Exam or graduated from Pokémon Tech.

The tournament competition itself has an opening and closing ceremony. In some regions, there is a torch with the flame of Moltres or Ho-Oh that burns for the duration of the tournament, a reference to the real world's Olympic Games.

The day after the ceremonial torch has been lit, in some of the regional Leagues the qualifying rounds begin so as to weed out Trainers who have gotten the required eight Badges, but are not yet skilled enough to continue, and those who survive move on to the preliminary rounds. In other regional Leagues, instead, the preliminary rounds will begin right away, and will continue for several days until the top sixteen Trainers have been decided. At this point, there is a short break in the competition so that the Trainers and their Pokémon may rest, followed by the start of the final rounds.

In the final rounds, most, if not all, battles are Full Battles. All battles are conducted in the main stadium, and Trainers move up the tournament tree in single-elimination style. The winning Trainer, upon defeat of their opponent, is awarded a trophy and earns the right to enter the Champion League to officially challenge the Elite Four and Champion of that region.

In Alola, due to the lack of Gyms in the region and the fact that its Pokémon League was only recently established, no specific conditions need to be met in order to enter its League Conference, and its winner will directly become the first-ever Champion of Alola.

Most Leagues use various types of fields during Pokémon battles. While the Vertress Conference uses only a standard dirt battlefield, every other Conference has held battles on various different battlefields, like icy, rocky, forested, grassy, and water to name a few. A standard rule for the Conferences with a myriad of battlefields, is that during the Full Battle stage in the tournament, once one side loses three Pokémon, there is a short break, during which a field change occurs.
