This. Trials are reskinned, easier gyms.

Bring back Gyms and Gym Leaders, get rid of Trials but keep Totem Pokemon.

All of the trials sucked, nearly all of them were "Walk from A to B to C to D with a weak wild pokemon battle in between" with the exception of Kiawe and Sophocles which were just standing still and doing a few wild battles. There was never any puzzle to solve or path to figure out, they all just get laid out in front of you for you to walk through. Ilima's was the only even remotely clever one.

But Totem battles are great, and allow the game to do fun gimmicks and tricks that normal battles don't allow for, as well as push the difficulty up while doing something more unique than "a team of 2 more pokemon than usual" or "these pokemon are suddenly 5 levels higher than everything else around here". But we should also fight the Gym Leader as part of the story as well, since those are usually some of the only decent battles in the games until the elite 4 and can be used to give more personality and spotlight to the character. Again, Ilima is for some reason the only one who really did that until postgame.

>he prefers trials over gyms

>>32596578
Totum pokemons say other wise.

The really stupid part was you COULD go and fight some of the Trial Captains before post-game but it wasn't a necessary part of the game and not all of them were fightable or flat out version locked which is 100% horseshit.

Kiawe's trial made me smile.
Most gyms do not make me smile.

Your mom smiles for my dick. A great big ahegao.

This.
I want both.

They'd be a great 2nd half of the game with no cutscenes

>>32596231
I want a game to play not a loli cutscene simulator

>Trials suck
>But this one essential part of Trials was great

Doesn't that mean that trials were pretty good overall my man?

>>32598778
No, because Totem battles don't need Trials to work

>>32598778
Nah, the Totem/Gym Leader is only half the Trial/Gym, the other half is what you do to reach them.

>>32596243
I'd be okay with this

Why not have gyms as the main way of progression in the next Pokemon title, but have trials for the post game?

>>32598873
>trials for the post game?
That's a waste. I'd prefer to have Gyms in the cities and Totems in the routes and dungeons.
