Post game

Leaks from months back confirmed that we build the league as post-game

why would they advertise something not in the game

Something that GF won't do:

Post game consists of you visiting 8 newly build Gyms and then challenging the league.

>>29469807
Just like the Battle Frontier in ORAS HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA`

>>29469764
>You visit the area early or mid-story.
>It's nearing completion by the time you get there.
>Beating the game will open it up.
>Postgame is a full story

>>29469859
What is Battle Frontier?

>>29469859
the trailer only says that you'll see the league being built.

That IS in the game.

>>29469764
no, it says you have to be a champion to play in the battle tree.

the league is in this game

>>29469856
I really hope this includes gyms as well, although I'd be happy E4 to be honest.

>>29469909
There's a reason why there no mention of the Battle Frontier being built in ORAS marketing

It'd be retarded to so. The league wont be as in depth as people are expecting but it'll be there

>>29469891
>implying battle frontier was EVER advertised and not just speculation by overhyped fans

>>29469934
you become the island champion when you beat all the trials

>>29469764
I don't know why nobody is mentioning the seven plaque squares visible on the Alola map that clearly implies we create gyms in the post-game. I assume that's how we obtain the last seven Z-Crystals.

at worst it's post-game

at best it's the second half of the game

if it's just a glorified teaser for a sequel i'm dropping pokemon for good

At best, I assume that going through the Battle Tree will make gyms pop up around the region with the Trail Captains leading them. Then you can walk in and rematch them whenever you feel like.

That's because we can create our own Pokemon league in the post game. Your character is the champion and you can select Alola characters to be part of the E4. Characters from others gens (Red, Blue, etc.) try to defeat your pokemon league.

Yes, I know most of it is bullshit, but it's cool anyway I guess

>>29469764
If this was a next game thing, it would be a secret tease at the end of the game, not something revealed before release.

>>29470272
This, I don't understand why are some getting the wrong message like this.

So

- League being built post-game
- Many cities have empty slots of land
- Leak saying we build or own League
- Battle intro's found for types matching the Trial Captains

Are we getting gyms too post-game?

>>29470208
Not to mention that this explains why this game is 2x the size of XY.
It's a double "region" game like Gen2.
Only the second region is the first region but with the standard Gyms and E4...

>>29470418
>- Battle intro's found for types matching the Trial Captains
Wrong

Battle intros match the Kahunas

>>29470272
Denialfags literally cant stop being wrong while refusing to admit defeat

>>29470441
So basically its "pretend there are two regions"

>>29469957
someone has that one masuda pic with El Rato?

>>29470418
yes

there are 7 colorful assholes that are all confirmed type specialists yet we fight Totems instead? The plan all along was to use them for the postgame. Reformed Guzma will probably fill the last spot

>>29470470
There are more type-related intro's than kahuna iirc

If the post game is gyms and the e4 at high levels I will be as excited as I will be shocked. Game freak doing something right is rare enough, but doing it that right is basically unheard of. I expect a PWT situation, which I will be fine with.

>>29470577
Not really there are two sets of four and in both Fighting and Rock appears. The remaining two change so i guess two kahunas get BTFO and some other two characters become elite 4

>>29470641
we're getting both a league and a PWT

Honestly I'm hoping that gyms will be postgame.

>>29470749
Same here. Doesn't make sense to have a league but no gyms. The gyms are always a core part of the league.

>>29469764
Maybe you'll get to go back and fight all the Trial Captains and Kahunas in huge 6v6 battles, and assess them to see who will be worthy of a place in the Elite Four?

The miniature tower and sign board was a "surprise".

It's not that unlikely though. Guzma talks about not being able to become a trial captain to Kakui. Team Skull is all about disrupting trials because he's still salty. There's a bigger badder team we're confirmed to fight. And we only have 7 possible gym leaders right now

So since this will be the 20th anniversary of the Anime and would run about 3 seasons making it last from 20-22 seasons total... Ash should be able to win this league. Also he should get the chance to encounter old friends like Dawn, May, Iris, and Misty, as well as Brock since it'll be 20 years of the anime. There should be a movie about everyone coming back too and its supposedly the end of the world and all UB's attack and Ash and friends help save the world.

Just like that Battle Frontier years ago, eh?

>>29480603
Why do people keep on bringing up the battle frontier.

Nintendo literally never mentioned or even hinted at the battle frontier

>>29480618
Because people were under the impression that it would come with a remake of a remake, or DLC confirmed.

Meanwhile, we already have screenshots and video showcasing the tree deal and Blue mentioning it's nice to meet another champion, which is much of a giveaway as possible that there will still be a league to be crowned champion of in Alola, just that it isn't active early on into the game.

>>29480238
There have only been two and a half in the series' history, one and a half of which are only in sequels. I think poison is the second least-used gym type after Dark. (and fairy, but that shit doesn't count)
