>>28267859>>28267875>>28268072Uh. Okay, then.
>>28268667>For starters, I highly doubt they'll manage to embrace as much variety as the leaders already do.Well, so far we've got qt cook girl, overenthusiastic fire dancer, dedicated older sister fishergirl, and mechanical prodigy, plus there's probably gonna be WAY more captains. I'd say that embraces just as much variety as the leaders.
>Plus it's the lore behind the gym and league battles what makes them so charming, the competition and achieving a big title.But... the island trials still have lore. It's just new lore. The trials are a rite of passage in the region's culture, which kind of seems more interesting to me than "defeat these powerful trainers because... because is why".
>Without that it's just empty battling, something many people would feel it's just "meh" once they get it over with.Seems to me that a lot of people already feel that about gym battles- just look at XY's forgettable gym leaders; the only one everyone remembers is remembered because she exists to push Lucario even more.
