So these are like the new medals or what?

theres only 4 gym leaders now

>>27475321
Why the fuck aren't their gyms? What the fuck.

>>27475321
That Guy looks like he could be Kuikui's Bro

>>27475321
Does that confirm the types of other tapus ?
Tapu koko is electric, and one of these guys is electric too. Maybe they're on the same island.

>>27475432
I'm pretty sure they are

Plus the Grass type Girl is from another Island, not melemele

>>27475321
They're like contest ribbons

>>27475321
I want to see the Marrowak the fire guy uses.

They are the trial captains OF MELEMELE
There are trial captains for each island, as well as a kahuna for each island.

>>27475432
No, all four of these guys are on the first island. They probably correspond with the four crystals that you presumably get on the first island.

The birds are probably a better indication of the guardians' typings.

>>27475480
Expect that's where she fits in best. Fire is in the volcano area on the second island, Electric is in the observatory on the third, and Water is the on the fourth based off the bridge.

>Clear each island trials and battle the kahunas
The kahunas will be the future elite 4?

>>27475362
There's four leader guys and 4 kahunas. It's still eight boss guys.

>>27475681
website says the Grass type girl is from another island called Akala o some shit

Man, looking back at them, these new NPCs are amazing. If the leaks were true, then we can choose any of these along with many more to come, as our Gym Leaders.

>>27475737
elite four are the totems.

I'm still baffled by there not being gyms.

I guess gyms were too hard for the dumb ass kids these days so they called removed them and called them 'trials' as some bullshit work around. Here ya go dumbasses, enjoy your 'trials'.

What do you mean?

>>27475794
>pink for grass
Why?

>>27475779
Wait, are they confirmed to be gone? I don't know how to feel about that at all.

>>27475794
That's kind of a stretch since the water one isn't remotely purple.

You know what is, though?

>>27475738
No kahunas are separate. It's confirmed there are 4 more team captains.

>>27475629
I don't think so.
There's going to be multiple trials per island, but I think the Grass girl's trial is Lush Jungle.
>From the site on Lurantis' page
>Lurantis is the Totem Pokémon of Lush Jungle, the site of an Akala Island trial.
These four are likely from different islands, but there will still be multiple trials per island, likely 4 as >>27475794 points out.

>>27475835
Flowers, probably.

>>27475794
Funny their types are the same as the shown Z attacks so far, and the four pokemon being pushed the hardest. Rowlet, Litten, Popplio and Pikachu. Grass, Fire, Water and Electric.

>>27475835
Grass girl's trial is on a different island.
On the first Island, we probably have a fairy trail they haven't shown.

>>27475871
>>27475835
Fairy subtype?

>>27475833

Leaks imply that you are eventually picking out potential gym leaders/Elite 4 for Alolas pokemon league

>>27475321
>>27475794
They represent the four islands and the four guardians, Tapu Koko being one of them.

It was also in the leak as well. So far that leak has been spot on besides Ninetails typing, which it did get the Fairy part right.

>>27475835
Maybe because of this. It seemed to be the guardian on the trailer

>>27475913
What happens afterwards? You have to battle them again?

THERE ARE SIXTEEN TRIAL PEOPLE AND 4 KAHAUAHAUANS GOD DAMN YALL DUMB

>>27475794
Electric, Ground, Fairy, Grass, Fighting, Fire, Water, Dragon.

There ya go.

>>27475945
The artificial island doesn't have a kahuna?

>>27475945
>16 Trials
>18 Types

Dark confirmed not a trial. Ground/Rock will be shoved into one.

>>27475794
WAIT A BLOODY SECOND

RED, YELLOW, PURPLE AND PINK.....
guise i don't want to be that guy but a poketuber talk about this time ago, the colours match, the types match...

Also all of them have the amulet thingy with the mtaching colour up, maybe other islans have them on the right side or left side or down side.

>>27475794
>>27475833
>>27475913
>it's on the Japanese site. It says there's others than just those four.

It's all connecting together.

Guys, I think I got it.
Gamefreak, the fuckers, showed us the 4 trials of AKALA Island, yet Hala, the Kahuna of Melemele.
Check pic related. Notice the sign?
It's like that charm, but it's in a different shape and the colors match the four faggots we've seen as trial captains.

>>27476039
>tfw Dark isn't one of them
see >>27475945
>>27476024

>>27475935
Well, speculating in mind, I do think we can. Just to test them and then we can share our version of League online with friends.

>>27476062
So 4 for each island? Meaning 16, where are the other 2? I don't mind more NPCs, the more, the merrier and the fanarts will keep coming.

>>27476174
>Just to test them and then we can share our version of League online with friends.
That'd be neat. It'd be even better if we can choose pokemon and movesets for the gym leaders. But that's too cool for GF.

>>27476215
Actually, it may be more.
It looks like there's 5 shapes on that sign actually
>2 "wings" one green and one yellow (hard to see, it blends in with the sign's color)
>a blue/purple base
>rectangle split into orange and red
Maybe different islands have more trials.

>>27475794
I think that medallion just represents the islands, not gym badge-things.

>>27476274
Oh, anything is possible now. They're breaking the mold with this Gen. Let's hope we can customize even their Pokemon and move list.

>>27475757
would only chose female ones.

>>27476062
this makes sense.
This means, the next leaks shall be about akala.
I think akala is the red island, the pink and purple island shall be revealed weeks before release.

the guardians aren't related to red, blue, green and yellow but to red, yellow, purple and pink

If the leaks were true, that Water-type uhh girl-boy, must be in my League. That design is appealing to my eyes.

>>27476394
Lana is girl
Website calls her an older sister, even

and qt

>>27476428
Lana it is! She will be in my League.

>>27476374
Up to you, my good man. And if there is enough for all girls League.

>>27476349
This is a safer bet, it's just a pass. But the League building and more Trial Captains are up in the air but considering >>27476039, I'm quite hyped.

Lana is the qtest!

>>27476561
You just had to ruin it.

>>27476215
The other two are probably hanging out on the artificial island or something.

>>27476215
It's said that all of the captains had previously passed all of the trials themselves, and we know Hau (and probably Lillie) are going around doing the trials. They probably take the last two positions in late/post-game.

>>27476672
I'm holding onto this.

>>27476923
So those 2 won't have type specialty but if we go by the leak, I just hope we can customize their Pokemon and movesets. Alright, sounds cool enough.

>>27476981
Cheren wasn't a normal-type specialist until after he took over the gym, so they could still end up with one.

Your face when building a league in the china leak means that only 8 are needed for the mainy story, and the other 10s trials and dungeons are freely explorable sidequests.
Your face when without a gym quest the game is tiered between islands, and yku can do whatever the fuck you want between Kahuna's
Your face when the middle 2 Kahuna's can be beaten whenever you want and the middle two islands are open world for the entire middle part of the game.

>>27475321
Fire, Electric, Grass and Water? Does that mean the island guardians are gonna be those plus fairy?
Fire/Fairy seems fun

>>27477240
Popular theory is "Electric, Fire, Psychic, Ghost" because of the bird that changes type based on which island it's found on. (and Alola's emblem being Red, Yellow, Pink and Purple)

>>27477354
Either way we get a Fire/Fairy with an ability that boosts its fire attacks.

>>27475321
Pretty sure those medallions just represent they're guides. They aren't anything that we get as a reward.

>>27475846
>Melemele = Yellow = Electric Oricorio and Tapu Koko = Hala as leader
>Red island = Fire Oricorio and Tapu Koko clone
>Pink island = Psychic Oricorio and Tapu Koko clone
>Purple island = Ghost Oricorio and Tapu Koko clone
>each island has 4 captains = 16 captains
>the artificial island has 2 extra captains = 18 captains so every type has one
Does this make sense?

>Island with the volcano isnt Ulaula
switch the two and youre fine

>>27478218
Each Hawaiian island has a designated color. For Oahu the color is yellow and Melemele ("yellow" in hawaiian) is the Alola version of Oahu. So it's safe to assume that the other islands follow the same pattern - Maui=Pink=Akala=Island on the right; Kauai=Purple=Poni=Island on the left; Hawaii=Red=Ulala=Island on the bottom.
