That.. does make sense, but also that might be affected by the fact that most trainers restart each region. Most of the time, each trainer can barely defeat the current champ. Most of us use our fair share of battle items, so I think that's kinda... We might be stronger than them, or just have a lot of Revives on hand, but I don't think there's a power difference big enough to warrant any champion being as strong as eight Elite 4 members. O: Maybe if someone were to take their old team into lots of new region and completely dominate??
idk.. that's kind of interesting to ponder...
THAT ASIDE.
