and why is it Unova?

Kidding even though it is my answer also..
I haven't watched the anime but include that in your answer if you want.

From Game experience though I definitely thing it is Unova because of the Gym leaders go on little side missions with you throughout the story and then at the end of the game they hold back the sages for you so you can go after N.

Well most games they don't do anything other than sit in their gym. I mean in Kanto only Giovanni does anything outside of his gym. You at least see some of the Johto or Sinnoh gym leaders around their city every now and then, but they are very rarely important.

Unova definitely has the gym leaders most directly involved with the plot. Kanto would be the winner for the anime as Brock and Misty kind of make that a mandatory nominee.

Yea I kinda agree with you guys that Unova has the most involved gym leaders. When I played Black/White back in high school I remember them showing up when Team Plasma was causing trouble and actually helping you. It made thier characters feel like a part of the world and not just roadblocks. In most other gens they just chill in their gyms until you walk in and beat them lol.

I do think the Alola kahunas and trial captains were pretty involved even though they arent technically gym leaders. Galar tried with some cutscenes but it wasnt the same. And like the anime brock and misty traveling with Ash will always be the gold standard tbh.
