Revolutionizing Pokemon: A New Twist to Elite Four Journey

A Pokemon enthusiast proposed an intriguing idea to add excitement to the protagonist's adventure as they strive to conquer the Elite Four and emerge as the new Pokemon Champion. Although every Pokemon game introduces new mechanics and creatures to capture, the ultimate objective remains the same - to defeat gym leaders, gain access to the Elite Four, and finally challenge the reigning Pokemon League Champion to claim the title.

In every region, the Elite Four are a group of trainers that players must defeat consecutively to earn the right to challenge the Champion, the most skilled Pokemon trainer of the region. Upon defeating both the Elite Four and the Champion without losing to any of them, the protagonist becomes the new Champion. However, the Galar region in Pokemon Sword and Shield follows a different system, the Champion Cup, that replaces the Elite Four and culminates in a face-off against Leon, the local Pokemon Champion.

On Reddit, a user named Jortor400 shared a fascinating concept to make the journey to the Pokemon Elite Four more exciting by featuring the main character's mother as the Pokemon Champion. At the start of the game, when the player leaves their house, Jortor400 suggests having the mother inform her child that she will be unavailable later. When the protagonist finally defeats the Elite Four and is ready to take on the Champion, the mother appears in a stunning Champion outfit with the game's main legendary Pokemon. Upon being defeated, the mother awards the protagonist with the title of Pokemon Champion and the legendary creature.

Other Pokemon fans on Reddit have suggested an interesting twist to the traditional Pokemon journey. One idea is to have the main character's mother begin her own journey as a Pokemon trainer at the same time as their child. She would then beat her child to the Pokemon League and become the Champion before them. This unexpected turn of events could add a new level of excitement to the game. NPCs encountered along the way could hint at the mother's true identity without revealing the plot twist. This concept is similar to Pokemon Diamond and Pearl, where the player's mother is one of the top performers in Pokemon competitions that rate them on appearance and performance, rather than battling prowess.

While Pokemon Scarlet and Violet have multiple Champions with unique backstories, the main character's mother never achieved this title. Incorporating this plot twist into future games could add an intriguing element to the storyline.
