There's 4 islands, but at least 5 Trial Captains. Are there 8? What are they for?
Two per island.

>captains are basically gym leaders
bravo Game Freak, you really changed up the formula

Except you don't fight them you literal retard. The totem Pokemon are the bosses to emphasize the extreme nature of Alola over man vs man.

Kiawe, Lana and Mallow are all confirmed on Akala.
Seems like there are 1+3+2+1 (or 1+3+1+2) Trial Captains, and maybe an extra one for Zygarde on the last island

I don't know, but I am now claiming Kiawe as my husbando before any of you faggots do. Goodbye.

Pretty sure there's only 7 Captains, but I reckon Guzma will redeem himself and become a captain making 8, if the 'make the league' thing actually happens then having 8 trial captains and 4 kahunas pretty much makes gyms and elite 4.
So much for changing things up..
If it really is 7 trial captains, 4 kahunas...
>MeleMele
Ilmia - Normal - totem Gumshoos/Raticate
Kahuna Hala - Fighting
>Akala
Mallow - Grass - totem Lurantis
Lana - Water - totem Wishiwashi
Kiawe - Fire - totem Salandit evo
Kahuna Olivia - Rock
>Red Island
Sophocles - Electric - totem Vikavolt
Ghost girl - totem Mimikyu
Kahuna country girl - Ground
>Purple Island
Dragon - totem Hakomo-o
Kahuna - Flying
I believe Sophocles is on Red Island due to the following:
>No hints he is on first island based on demo and previews and general size of MeleMele
>4/7 captains on Akala Island would be too much
>Clear electricity-related locations on Red Island, possibly matching the footage we've seen of him also
>Togedemaru can only be obtained on Red Island as per https://twitter.com/KazoWAR/status/789067224137039872
