Friendly reminder that we're still getting Gym Leaders.

>>27476424
I was thinking the same maybe we still have Gyms

>>27476424
no

>>27477846
No what?

>>27476424
No we're not

>>27478343
Why?

>>27476424
But where's the puns? Every gym leader has some sort of pun to their name based on their pokemon type, whether it's subtle or not. What on earth could Ed even be a pun of?

>>27478365
Eddy is a synonym of whirlpool or vortex. Any spinning of water or air.

>>27478361
Because there is no proof of them being in the game and gym leaders are not needed anymore

We have trial captains & Kahuna's

>your source are fucking decorations in a live action teaser video
>none of these names correspond to characters we've seen yet, even hoku, whose in-game parallel is hau
>we've gotten another live-action teaser video, and none of the old characters were brought back

Why do you think we won't be battling Trial Captains in addition to doing quests?

Those are the Japanese names as these come from a Japanese trailer.
I don't think they would give us another Caitlin in the English translations.

Did you even read the OP? Even Serebii doesn't count them as trainers, just quest stuff. What are those silhouettes in that Japanese trailer then?

>>27478636
The picture you posted literally implies we'll be battling captains as part of the trials, just not the whole.

>implying serebii knows a damn thing at this point

>>27478636
All this picture said was it's not limited to battling

Why would they give these trial captains specific type expertise if you weren't going to battle them?

>>27478636
The kids in the class in that trailer's world. What they did is they took a set and decorated it like a classroom. It's common to display the kids' names in a classroom.

They are trainers. They are confirmed to have Pokemon as well as type specialties.

those sillhouettes are just the fucking actors in the commercial, they're the classmates who took full body pictures and were blacked out. It's not artwork. You fucking idiot, I'm sick of people posting this. It's not anything.

>One aspect of the unique culture that has developed in the Alola region is the island challenge, an adventurous rite that involves traveling through each of the four islands. This event helps young people grow into fine Pokémon Trainers. As the main character of Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon, you yourself are destined to attempt this island challenge.
>The final trial on each island is called the grand trial. It is a Pokémon battle against the kahuna who leads that island. If a trial-goer succeeds in clearing this grand trial, he or she will be publicly recognized as having cleared all of the island’s trials and can move on to the next island.

It does imply gym leaders are pointless as they basically accomplish the same goal. Hell, the "gym" in the concept art could be a place where you find the Kahuna or a Captain.
