Neither did I until I actually looked for it, which is odd when you consider how often I usually spend on Bulbapedia.
True, it does seem famous trainers from one region are all but unknown in other regions. Then again Desmond steam rolled multiple regions, so I'm sure Rian can have a fanboy moment or two. Mt. Battle always struck me as something that would be a much larger spectacle than the Pokemon League.
Heh, I'm sure Rian's motivation for being there will reveal itself if anyone actually confront him about it. That or they'll yell at him for being a lazy bastard who does nothing but play chess with a giant pink hippo.
I guess I'll just call it "that weird half-circle design thing".
