Is it true \vp\? No gyms in Alola? Just random quests and one boss pokemon at the end? This makes me sad.

Go play red then, fag

>Eight important battles followed by a gauntlet of four battles in a row
Sounds like a league to me, name be damned.
>>28239706
They'll be back in Generation VIII and/or Generation VII remakes, so you won't be crying forever.
Nigga where you been for the last 3 months
>are they going to change one of the fundamental basics of the franchise?
No, of course not, that's retarded.

>Go get me these ingredients
>>28239809
>and then fight me afterwards and I have a team that all shares a common type!
It's still gyms, retard.
>>28239794
They're really not, though. 4 islands with 2 "boss" challenges apiece is essentially he same as 8 gym leaders, just with different window dressing.
>>28239749
There are more than 8.
>>28239849
Only eight fight you, tho.
>>28239862
yes
>>28239858
says who
and you still have to fight the kahuna at the end of each island. You don't fight them four in a row.
>>28239994
by fight you mean be forced to capture, and the game stops you making them faint, or restarts the battle if you run.
>>28239994
>Shut up, butthead.
Mhmm, mhmm.
>>28240023
You are confusing the Kahuna with the Guardians
>>28239706
It kind of makes sense though. Alola is isolated from other regions so they most likely have their own customs and traditions.
>>28240127
And we don't really know how the Guardians work do we?
We don't even know if you can capture the totem Pokemon or how many captains there are or anything.

good
>>28239706
So, what's the difference between that and gyms then?
>gyms
Predictable bosses with type focus, same concept as previous 2 decades
>random quests and one boss pokemon at the end
Oh look, it's a gym but less predictable and less boring.

XD: Gale of darkness is a great game, fuck you anon.
>>28242199
Because theyre not called fucking gyms or in a gym.
>>28239834
There's 4 trial leaders on the second island. I think it's safe to assume there's a leader for each type.
Guess it depends if Totem battles will be hard. If not then it'll feel like a downgrade from gyms (because so far they havent shown any battle with any captain)
Then again i can imagine the Totem battles to be hard since this is a new system and yet they still aim for the new audience
