There will be 8, and each will give you a symbol of your victory

They'll basically be gym leaders then

Yep, people are crazy if they thought they'd take away something so basic. The change to it with the Kahunas being a thing is still pretty big though.

It should be obvious that each island will have multiple trials and thus multiple captains.

Not sure if we actually fight the captains though, or if we just go through the trial and the Totem and that's it.

Why do people need Joe to confirm this shit? Really sad, feel bad for the guy.

>>27475643
Yup. Basically, you do side quests first than tackle the "gym leader" along with the totem Pokemon. I like it.

>>27475540
Now we have to wonder how many will there be?
8 to replace the gym leaders?
or 18 to cover every type?

>>27477159
18 across 4 islands? I guess that would depend on how big each island is

>Why do people need Joe to confirm this shit?

people can't think for themselves apparently

>>27477380
18 could be doable
3 on the first island
4 on the second
5 on third
6 on the fourth

I'm expecting 4 for each island, for a total of 16.
The ones we know would be the 4 Captains of Melemele Island.

It's obvious that the 4 captains and the 4 kahunas essentially equates to our eight gym leaders, the formula is just presented slightly different. Stop fishing for shit that clearly isn't there.

>>27477599
No this is totally wrong.
Two of the Trial Captains were shown to be on completely different islands.

>multiple trials and thus multiple captains.
Yeah I get that there are multiple trials but that doesn't necessarily mean that there are more than 4 captains.
