Pokémon League

A Pokémon League is the top-level tournament of Pokémon Trainers who compete in Pokémon Battles toward beating increasingly higher-ranked Trainers. To enter, one must collect eight badges, one from each Gym in their regional area  or in the case of Alola, complete the island challenge. Also, they are only allowed to use six Pokémon at a time. In the games, a Trainer works toward the goal of eventually battling the top victors, called the "Elite Four" and the Pokémon Champion.

There are eight known regional Leagues under the Pokémon League: the Indigo League in Kanto and  Johto, the Orange League in the Orange Archipelago, the Hoenn League in Hoenn, the Sinnoh League in Sinnoh, the Unova League in Unova, the Kalos League in Kalos, the Alola League in Alola and the Galar League in Galar .

In the anime, Trainers must participate in a Pokémon League Conference, where they battle one another in order to win.

This marks the first time where the Elite Four (apart from the Champion) can be battled in any order, the Champion still cannot be battled until after Shauntal, Grimsley, Caitlin, and Marshal have been battled. The Champion in Black 2 and White 2, Iris, is the youngest Champion at around age 12.
