Gym leaders confirmed?

>>27266429
They don't even need their own confirmation. Why the fuck would they remove a core element of the franchise like that? This Chinese leak is the most cancerous thing to happen all summer

>>27266429
>Gym leaders confirmed?

There aren't any gyms in Alola, as the regional map lets you see

>>27266429
This has been talked about since the week they were shown

>>27266482
This post was made in an effort to debunk it

>gym leader named pablo

fucking dropped

Of course those are the Gym leaders. People knew that from the hour the trailer came out.

Most of them sound like dudes. Not good.

There aren't any Gyms in Kalos then

>>27266486
There is no such thing as Kiloude City or Friend Safari in Kalos, as the regional map lets you see.

I doubt it, it looks like a regular classroom setting to me so it's probably just something to help with English lessons.

Like why would the names be in English in the Japanese trailer?

>>27266429

Dropped.

>>27266577
There is only 2 Gyms as well

We all know we were fooled

>>27266429
>Caitlin, Pablo Hoku, and Ed
That's not how Gym Leader names work. Where's the typing pun?
Caitleaves(grass), Pebleo(rock), Hawku(Flying), and Eddison(electric)

>>27266619
nice hivemind retard

>>27266647
This. Leaders' names gave a hint to their type specialty aside from their design.

>>27266617
Because its Hawaii, stupid

>>27266617
The fact that there are 8 hidden (seemingly) adult figures implies that this was a gym leader tease. This is something Nintendo would include as an easter egg.

>>27266508
I know. It just pisses me the fuck off that there are ACTUAL people on this board that think they'll be removed just because of "muh mermaid"

>>27266429
At least we can assume the 2nd one is a nigger.

>>27266729
The starter designs are independent of "Chinese leaks" as they were out before them.

However, potentially reliable chink leak went out of its way to confirm the rumored designs.

Im loving the Easter eggs they're hiding away in their trailers and game play. Vikavolt was starring at us in plain sight

>>27266552
No God please no. I don't want to go the Social Justice gym

>>27266856
where was Vikavolt hiding?

>>27266577

Also worth noting, there's nothing on this map that's obviously a gym. And even now knowing about the Kalos gyms, how many appear on this map? Like, two?

>>27266915
Just look the desing in what is this kid wearing

>>27266915
Nigga, his shirt

>>27266429
hoku is the kid in the commercial that the kid makes friends with in the end. It's the names of the kids.

>>27266904
What makes it social justice exactly?

>>27266656
Fuck off, Pablo.

>>27266486
>Implying the gyms aren't just conventional buildings like the Water hotel

>>27267026
What a ridiculous idea. Gens I-IV used to have gyms in random ass buildings, but Gens V and VI have laid out clear groundwork that gyms must be in their own, easily-recognizable buildings, like Pokemon Centers and Marts.

>>27266961
Who's to say the kids he meets aren't based on the gym leaders?

>>27266486
Have you not been paying attention to any gyms in the last two Gens? Since Gen 5 they have been completely distinct buildings unlike any other in their respective towns with us being unable to tell where the gyms are on the map. With that in mind you wouldn't be able to see any gyms on the Alola map because we don't know where the hell they are.

>>27267076
I really don't see the problem here

>>27267026
The concept art of this hotel has a fucking gym emblem next to it

I think it's actually in the fountain

Fuck off, there are gyms.

>>27266656
>>27266666

>>27267076
>I-IV used to have gyms in random ass buildings
>literally all the same building with

This sign was probably just something that was already in the classroom they were shooting the commercial in.

>>27267076

Most Gen V gyms appeared as something else - a restaurant, a museum, an art gallery... very few of them are in standardized buildings like Pokemon Centers or Marts.

>>27266974
Black and female.
At this point anything other than white male scares these people.

>>27267251

I thought so too at first, but those silhouettes look very similar to Pokemon's art style, and aren't something you'd expect in a classroom. I think it's at least plausible that they're a gym leader Easter egg.

>>27267251
Doubt

>>27267156
Uh might want to read my post again there friend. I never said there WOULDNT be gyms. I was implying that there is, actually. Ease off the salt kid

>>27267300
My guess is that the class did some kind of art project where where they made silhouettes of themselves.That's why you can see a 9th one off to the side. They're likely hung up all over the classroom.

>>27267254
Or Gen 6 where gyms were also a photo gallery, rock climbing facility, roller derby, etc. Surprisingly people that say "I don't see any gyms in Alola" have forgotten about this fact.

>>27267429
Eight are visible, and as pointed out earlier, they all appear to be in Pokemon-anime-character style.

>>27267429

Maybe, but to me they look too good for kids to have done and the images don't look like children, and the art styles and poses are very similar to past Pokemon character art.

I'm not saying I'm certain they're the gym leaders, I just don't think it's crazy.

>>27267514
>Eight are visible
Look at the top-left corner. There are more that aren't in-frame.

They're the students. Kids their age always have shit like that in their classroom.

>>27267622
Yes, because i'll never forget the day we hung anime-style silhouettes on the board of my classroom

>>27267597
>>27267622
Could be the E4.

>>27267622
>Kids their age always have shit like that in their classroom

Names, yes. Detailed silhouettes in strange poses? I don't recall that.

>>27267699
They're feet. You can't tell what style they're in. If they look too detailed to be kids' cut-outs, there's probably a reason for that. For example, hey could have taken photos of the students, printed them out in pieces, then had the kids cut them out along with pieces of construction paper.

>>27267795
Why the fuck would they even do that? And those are very odd poses...i'm starting to think you just don't want gyms in SM.

>>27267860
>Why the fuck would they even do that?
Elementary school arts and crafts.
>And those are very odd poses
They're elementary kids. I'd be more surprised if they didn't do silly poses.

>>27267239
>>27267254
I'm going to ahead and assume that >>27267076 was being sarcastic, since they said the exact opposite of how it is.

>>27267904
You're forgetting one thing:
This is a trailer for a Pokemon game. Nintendo loves using silhouettes and doing discreet teases. If this turns out to be an easter egg, no one should be surprised.

>>27267795

The reason is an adult dressed the set by printing that shit out and no kid touched anything.

>>27266552
Finally a dark type gym!

>>27266672
Erika, Sabrina, Janine, Blue, Whitney, Chuck, Jasmine, Claire, Tate, Liza, Wallace, Juan, Lenora, Elesa, Iris, Cheren, Roxie, Viola, Korrina, Clemont, Valerie.

Explain.

>>27266974
>>27267289
The drawing came from someone who identifies themself as an SJW and BLM activist.
The gym leader is literally them, nose-ring and all.

>>27267597
8 gym leaders on above the board
Other notable trainers not above the board.

Isn't that hard. When I was in school, my teacher used to have the founding father's pictures hanging above her whiteboard, then the other world leaders on the other three walls.

>>27268402

It's a video of the real world where Pokemon is a game. They wouldn't have Pokemon trainers on the wall like founding fathers.

And one of the kids in the class is named Hoku, which is one of the four names you get to see.

It's literally nothing.

Sabrina (the teenage witch), Whitney ("white" plain colour), Chuck (as in, "to fucking throw"), Jasmine ("Mine", "Mineral"), Clair (Dragon's "Lair"), Liza+Tate ("Levitate"), Wallace and Juan both have the "wa" sound from "water", Lenora is almost an anagram of "Normal", Elesa (come on, Ele = electric, how retarded are you), Roxie (rock+toxic), Korrina ("arena"), Valerie ("Faerie").

Obviously I can't explain them all, but you'd have to be pretty thick not to see some of these.

>>27268252
Blue is an exception because he's your rival in RBY. This was before they had names like Brendan and May for rivals.

People still believe we aren't getting gyms? Wtf?

>>27269385

But a Chinese leak that happened to guess one unused type combination said so! It must be true!

>>27269776
Mhmmm, sure. Whatever you say man. Still doubtful and will continued to be so until I see some actual evidence.

>>27269995

Evidence that it's fake? That's absurd, these things should be presumed fake until proven otherwise. Where there's no evidence that a leak is real or fake (aside from an easily guessable type combo), the only reasonable option is to assume that it's fake until evidence emerges to the contrary.

>>27270045
Oh no. I meant evidence of it being real. Whenever leaks appear, I am very skeptical. Should have made that clearer lol.

>>27270146

Oh... well then I think we're in agreement!

Actually the name Ed is from Aden which relates to Fire.

I believe it's Pablo and Hoku refer to 'Star' and 'Darkness' so possible Psychic and Dark type there.

Caitlin, while psychic in gen 4/5, could be referring to 'Fairy' since it's 'Pure' to the Dark types and Darkness.
