A rookie champion, Geeta, would have been a thousand times more interesting, using Gogoat, Avalugg, (Pokémon from past generations, losing miserably to no one's surprise), leaving Kingambit as the final surprise and a good challenge for Leon, who had never seen this ability before. He won using strategy and improvisation, giving real weight to his champion status.

In addition to correctly using Kingambit's ability, this would serve as an early commercial for SV, similar to how they used Blaziken in Johto league or Electivire at the end of Hoenn.
