No, the Kahunas are replacing gym leaders

The trail captains arent battles, they're quests like finding stuff, with an extra battle at the end with the totem pokemon

Essentially, the islands themselves are gyms, trail captians are gym trainers and Kahunas are gym leaders

One per island. I don't think we'll be prepared to battle a competitive team of six pokemon when we ar almost leaving the first island.

Still seems likely that there will be some kind of challenge after all four islands are done, so hopefully thats true and the kahunas are just the equivalent of gym leaders

The gameflow now seems to be:
>meet trial giver
>do some sidequests
>fight totem Pokemon
>find next trial giver
>repeat
>when all of the trials on the island have been passed, fight the Kahuna
>win and go to the next island
Not really the elite four.

They're the boss of each island, and he's presumably the first.

So treat him as if he was the second or third Gym Leader. It's not out of place for him to have only three Pokemon.

More likely that they're the last four gyms. Or even the 2nd, 4th, 6th and 8th with the other guys on the same island being the 1st, 3rd, 5th and 7th. So on each island you'll fight a Trial Captain and Kahuna then move onto the next island, or you'll do all 4 trial captains then all 4 Kahuna.

I got the impression that both the kahunas and the trial captains were "gym leader", so the number of "boss trainers" would still end up eight, but looking back I can't find anything that says you outright battle them so.

Their type speciality seems to suggest that they function like gym leaders, but it could be that the Totem Pokemon are the gym leader equivalent.

This sounds right.

However, I do still think there'll be an E4 type deal (not exactly E4, but something equivalent) at the end on the artificial island.
Either that, or they're pulling a Gold/Silver and you go to a new region once you've mastered the islands.

We've only seen 4 out of what will likely be 16+ trial captains.
I assume one of them, likely on Melemele, will be Normal type and lead to the Gumshoos totem fight.

No this is 100% totally wrong
The first Trial Captain is in the forest on Melemele
The fire Trial Captain is on top of the volcano on the second island
The electric guy is probably on that building perched atop that giant mountain or something along those lines
There's no way there are 16 of them that's an asinine idea

The japanese site confirmed that there are more than just the four captains we saw. Since they specialize in a type, and each island is said to have more than just one captain, it's perfectly possible that there are 16+ of them (4 for each island).

I got this impression as well. Given that they have a type specialty it suggests that they can be battled at some point. My guess is that after the quests they assign you, you have to battle them, then fight the totem Pokemon or whatever, then the Kahuna. Meaning eight bosses to fight (four Trial Captains and four Kahunas) and four strong Pokemon ti fight (four Totem Pokemon)

I could be entirely wrong though.

I was thinking something like that. You deal with all the captains on an island, then you fight the Kahuna and/or Totem, then move to the next island. Straight forward enough.

I think people are assuming the trials will be a few quick things, and thus think "multiple trials" but I am expecting each trial to encompass the entire island, so you're working on the trial as you run around the whole place.

More like

Four Trial Captains on each island which I'm guess brings the total to twelve captains in Alola. Defeat the Totem Pokemon to complete the trial, then fight the Kahuna once you finished all four trials on that island. Then repeat three times and then I don't know what happens next.

That would be nice. I'm having trouble believing it because it would be such a jump in content compared to XY, but I'd love to be proven wrong.

They seem more like Gym Leader equivalents. I can see you battling each one on their island as a plot point.

Three Pokémon on a Gym Leader isn't the end of the world, if it's an earlier boss this is an improvement over the last two Gens, if it's a later boss then at least nothing has gotten worse.

Of the island sure, but not of the game. You face the Kahuna when you beat the previous trials of an island. Once you beat the Kahuna you earn the right to go on to the next island and face the trials there. It goes
>Island challenge trial issued by Trial Captain
>Fight Totem Pokemon
>Fight Kahuna

It confirms at least 8 since each island has more than one.

But I bet clearing the captains' trials is how you get the stones for the Z-moves, so I wouldn't doubt the existence of 16~18 of those guys.

You battle him and then can proceed to the next island. It's as far away from the E4 as possible.
