Pokémon League (Sinnoh)

The Pokémon League (Japanese: ポケモンリーグ Pokémon League) of Sinnoh is the location of the region's Elite Four and Champion, who may only be challenged by the player after defeating all eight Sinnoh Gym Leaders. It is located on an island north of Route 223 and west of Route 224. Inside, the player can challenge the Champion, after defeating the Elite Four in order.

Location

Location of Pokémon League in Sinnoh.
The Pokémon League in Diamond and Pearl

Like in Kanto and Hoenn, reaching the Pokémon League requires first passing through Sinnoh's Victory Road (and a large waterfall) to the south of the League building. The Sinnoh League is located in a castle reminiscent of a Gothic cathedral, having a rose window and two towers at the very front of the building—a characteristic of Gothic architecture.

When entering the Pokémon League building for the first time, Barry will encounter the player on the ground floor, as the player attempts to gain entry to the first challenge room. In Pokémon Platinum and Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, once the player completes the story events at Stark Mountain, the levels on the Elite Four and Champion's Pokémon will increase.

Geography

Ground floor
Diamond Pearl Platinum
 

The lobby of the Pokémon League consists of a large, combined Pokémon Center and Poké Mart on either side of the room. In between them is a gateway to the Elite Four, blocked by a guard who will grant access when the player has earned all eight Sinnoh League Badges. The guard is a male Ace Trainer. Like in other Pokémon Centers throughout Sinnoh, the lobby of the Pokémon League building grants the player access to the Wireless Club and a basement where they can access Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl and Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, the lobby design scheme resembles a large Pokémon Center. In Pokémon Platinum, the lobby has been upgraded to have its scheme being changed to a mainly black one and the escalator to the Wi-Fi Plaza being moved nearer the one to the Wireless Club.

Between rooms

Preceding each Elite Four member's room is a blue and white hallway separated into two distinct parts by a small lift and lined with yellow and red lights. The first hallway leading to Aaron's room has a longer lift than the others, and the hallway to the Champion's room features a longer hallway after the lift.

In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl and Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, all the Elite Four rooms have white cauldron-like fixtures emitting green light in each of the corners, a Poké Ball design in the center of each room, and a floor color scheme generally matching their type theme. In Pokémon Platinum, these cauldron-like fixtures have been removed, and the rooms contain various items pertinent to each member's type theme. The Champion's room is different from the others, and is larger as well as containing a lift to the entrance of the Hall of Fame.

Hall of Fame
Main article: Hall of Fame

The Hall of Fame is a dark room with a machine resembling a Pokémon Center healing machine, preceded by a vestibule lined with green lights and statues. In it, Cynthia and Professor Rowan congratulate the player on their entrance to the Hall of Fame.

Binoculars
Looking at the Pokémon League through the Vista Lighthouse

If the player looks into a pair of binoculars at Sunyshore City's Vista Lighthouse, they can see the Sinnoh League shrouded in mist.

In the anime
Lily of the Valley Stadium in the anime

In the anime, Sinnoh's League Conference, known as the Lily of the Valley Conference, is held on the Lily of the Valley Island. The island that the Pokémon League is located on is never named in the games, so the two could be the same location.

In the manga
The Pokémon League stadium in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!

Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!

The Pokémon League first appeared in A New Battle Begins!, where the League tournament started. In Mitsumi's first match, she went up against Cynthia. Despite faring well against her, however, Mitsumi suddenly forfeited, deciding that the competition would be more interesting that way. In Hareta's Heart's Desire, Jun was defeated by Koya, while Hareta managed to overwhelm Flint to such a degree with his Regigigas that the Elite Four member chose to forfeit, admitting that his Pokémon stood no chance against the power of a Legendary Pokémon.

In Hearts and Spirits Collide, during the battle between Hareta and Koya, Hareta's long-absent father, Kaisei, was revealed to be in the audience, watching his son's battle. In A Surprise Visit from Hareta's Father!, Hareta and Koya's battle was interrupted when multiple Team Galactic Grunts working for Charon appeared, intending to blow up the League stadium with a powerful bomb. However, thanks to Hareta and the other Trainers present, the explosion was contained so that it didn't cause any damage. Kaisei then briefly met with his son, giving him a Pokémon Egg before leaving.

In Mitsumi's Wish, Mitsumi and Cynthia had a talk following the Team Galactic attack, and decided to have a rematch after Mitsumi proclaimed that she'd use her full power to defeat Cynthia.

In Gathering of the Legendary Pokémon!, the aborted Pokémon League tournament was resumed, although its conclusion was not shown.
