ok so i had this thought as i began to watch the unova league. weve seen ash compete in each region's league so far, correct? but what happens if you want to compete in one of them for the second time. would you have to go and win 8 badges again in order to compete? or would you automatically get in for the next year? it seems to me that the producers never thought this through, although they didnt need to since they'll send ash to a new region for each tournament. thoughts?
