"To complete the island challenge, young trial-goers must overcome the trials in store on each of the four islands. These trials are not limited to battling with Pokémon. They take a variety of forms, such as finding items or completing tests of knowledge. You will not be able to accomplish them with ordinary methods!"

Ok totem battles are cool (allthough some are easy like Raticate/Gumshoos, Salazzle, Vikavolt) but the trials suck ass. None of them were even intersting or surprising or even creative. Half of them were also "lol we have a sense of humor see? SEE?!" Waste of time
Bring back gyms and give the gym leaders main Pokemon the totem aura effect
