>the trials were fantastic, such an improvement over gyms,

No one likes the trial puzzles. The totems on the other hand were a nice change of pace from gym leaders

The trials themselves are easy but I found the totem fights a lot more interesting and challenging than 90% of gyms in previous games.

Seeing combos like Wishiwashi + Alomomola and Castform + Lurantis was neat.

They shat the bed with the electric and dragon totem fights though, those were pitiful

The battles were the cool part. Having actually gimmiks like Castform+Lurantis

I really wish the pre battle trials were actual trials

meh, the first trial, like first gyms are expected to be a warmup for what's to come.

it was rather disappointing they didn't ramp up, but I still wouldn't call the awful. Also the Kiawe trial was fun.

What the fuck Gamefreak. There's no excuse whatsoever because all of the other Totems have custom moves and HAs and summon mons with egg moves and specific movesets. Vikavolt' trial was hot garbage.

Sun and moon is made for pre school kids. Honestly that fire trail proved it
