(screencap from Japanese Sun and Moon trailer)

There appear to be 8 silhouettes on the board...like 8 gym leaders? What do you think /vp/?

The names below the silhouettes are apparently Caitlin, Pablo, Hoku, and Ed.

Have you not been paying attention to any gyms in the last two Gens? Since Gen 5 they have been completely distinct buildings unlike any other in their respective towns with us being unable to tell where the gyms are on the map. With that in mind you wouldn't be able to see any gyms on the Alola map because we don't know where the hell they are.

I thought so too at first, but those silhouettes look very similar to Pokemon's art style, and aren't something you'd expect in a classroom. I think it's at least plausible that they're a gym leader Easter egg.

My guess is that the class did some kind of art project where where they made silhouettes of themselves.That's why you can see a 9th one off to the side. They're likely hung up all over the classroom.

Maybe, but to me they look too good for kids to have done and the images don't look like children, and the art styles and poses are very similar to past Pokemon character art.

I'm not saying I'm certain they're the gym leaders, I just don't think it's crazy.

They're feet. You can't tell what style they're in. If they look too detailed to be kids' cut-outs, there's probably a reason for that. For example, hey could have taken photos of the students, printed them out in pieces, then had the kids cut them out along with pieces of construction paper.

Evidence that it's fake? That's absurd, these things should be presumed fake until proven otherwise. Where there's no evidence that a leak is real or fake (aside from an easily guessable type combo), the only reasonable option is to assume that it's fake until evidence emerges to the contrary.

Actually the name Ed is from Aden which relates to Fire.

I believe it's Pablo and Hoku refer to 'Star' and 'Darkness' so possible Psychic and Dark type there.

Caitlin, while psychic in gen 4/5, could be referring to 'Fairy' since it's 'Pure' to the Dark types and Darkness.
