Is this the new badge case?

It's the trial charm.

You get a new bead added to it every time you beat a trial captain.

Nope, you get a new bead everytime you beat a Kahuna

>>28706306
beating Kakunas is easy though

But there are 18 Trial Captains

>>28706601
There are 8

If Passimian and Oranguru are Totem Pokemon, then that means there are version exclusive Trial Captains

Wow. You're fucking late.

You should write for Kotaku.

>>28706601
There's one charm for each island.

Source?

>>28708623
Source for what?

I somehow missed the if. Nevermind me.

Either way, Alolan Raticate and Gumshoos are version exclusive totem, despite not being version exclusive mons.

The point is, each Totem Pokemon's type seems to coincide with their Trial Captain. Lurantis and Wishiwashi are the Totem Pokemon for Mallow and Lana respectively. Which means there is a Normal-type Trial Captain.

So if both Passimian and Oranguru, who's abilities are double battle-oriented, leaning off of the calling in an ally aspect of the Totem Trials, are Totem Pokemon, that'd mean there would be a Fighting-type and Psychic-type Trial Captain, but they'd be version exclusive.

And seeing how we've seen quite a few changes to the games to make them two different experiences, I wouldn't doubt GameFreak would have characters exclusive to each game.

jesuschrist what a joke, is this supposed to be the elite four equivalent?

>>28709276
>The guy you fight less than 1/4 of the way through the game only uses 3 pokemon
WHAT A SHOCKER

>>28709276
They're the E4 "in spirit".
The first one, Hala, will be easy as he's the first on the first island.

It'd be like if after every second Badge in the first game you'd fight an E4 member to move on to the next 4th of Kanto.
