I really can't see how anyone would argue that the trials are inferior to the gyms, and the direction they take is definitely needed. Trials were both more memorable and more challenging than any Gym I can remember (with very few exceptions), but I am convinced that there is a way to combine the two. Not fighting the leader/captain at the end of the trial feels very, very off and strange to me.
