Confirmed that instead of figjting kukui every time you go to the elite four you fight new trainers challenging you for the title each time.
>confirmed trainers so far
Gladion
Hau
Kukui
Hapu
Sophocles
Plumeria
Molayne
Ryuki
As to whether or not this is the full list is unknown. I imagine other important characters like other kuhunas and guzma might challenge you as well. It might be that some trainers are exclusive to being fought at the battle tree and others exclusive to being fought as title challengers.

There's also Youngster Tristan and Guzma.

>Defend the title
I´ve wanted this for years
So how're you going to use it outside of leveling up. Just using your in game team to steamroll, or are you gonna make a themed team at or two levels above the e4 teams, with an ace, just to see if you can defend your title like the other champs?
What happens if you lose? Will you fight the challenger next time?
>>29887158
I'll inject several themed teams with a couple levels above the e4 teams so I can defend my title against challengers.
The only thing that turns me off is having to fight the E4 again. I mean, you're the champion defending your title, why the fuck would you have to rematch the E4?
>>29887217
E4 rematches. Makes for some decent extra grinding anyways.

Acerola and Kahili comment about this, something about the Champion having to prove they're still stronger than the E4.
>>29887217
I believe Acerola addresses this. She says that the champion has to constantly prove that they are more powerful than the e4. Plus, the e4 members are technically also gunning for your title if you lose to them. Albeit, only Acerola and Kahili make it blatant that they want the spot.

don't get excited, they only use 5 pokemon and it's easy as hell
>>29887449
>not using only 5 Pokémon as the champion a real champion
>using legendary Pokémon

Is this another game where the only time someone has six Pokémon is if they are the champion or rival?
