I have been playing Pokémon in the older days of my life, I have been wondering why is it so that when you beat the elite 4 and the champion. You don't become the champion of the Pokémon league.

"A Pokémon Master is simply an elite Trainer who is considered a professional and regularly takes part in Pokémon League competitions. " Have I got it mix up? I do wonder how élite four are picked ? how is the champion picked, it would make sense that someone who beats the Pokémon league becomes the champion.

I think the game should end with you becoming the Pokémon champion and every 4 years trying to keep that Title.

This is what google says "Pokémon Champions have strong Pokémon and are stronger than most trainers and Gym Leaders. Once the player character defeats the Champion, the player character is recognized as the champion, although in the games the player character declines the position and allows the previous Champion to reclaim their spot." why???

I think the game should have inside the Pokémon league. I not declining shit yo!!!
 
You don't become the champion of the Pokémon league.
What? You do become the champion; the game even tells you. For example, when you defeat Cynthia in Diamond and Pearl, she says:
"Just a few moments ago, you were the most powerful challenger. And just now, you became the most powerful of all the Trainers. You are now our newest Champion!"
I think Pokémon Master is more of the anime’s thing, and I don’t really think it’s brought up much in the games, if at all.

It was brought up a few times in the gen 1 games (probably where the phrase came from though it was recently revealed the title doesn't really exist in the anime); the back of the box alludes to you trying to be "the greatest Pokémon Master of all time" although this was changed in Fr/Lg, interestingly, to "best trainer ever".
In-game, when you defeat Lance he says:
That's it! I hate to admit it, but you are a POKEMON master!
That was kept in the remakes, I believe.
I can't remember the phrase popping up in later games, though. I suspect the idea got dropped with the postgame facilities meaning there are trainers still more powerful than the player after they defeat the champion.
 
Oh, right. Pokémon master is an anime thing. I still think the game should have inside the Pokémon league. Mabey a DLC pack.

I think just having the title seem boring to me. I thought it would of changed by now.
