I believe kahili was meant to be a slightly more prominent character with her own trial at one point; didnt someone discover the inaccessible golf course at grand hano resort was fully textured and fleshed out?

Also might explain why the flyinium Z is just randomly slapped in ten carat hill with no leads or explanation

You're completely missing the point of him creating the league in the first place. He wants to show how powerful Alolan trainers are since they had done the trials. Replacing it with gyms goes against that objective.

Giovanni sure was a great inclusion into the PWT, right?

Also, even accepting the title defense as canon, which is isn't, it doesn't support anything about Mina being stronger than the Elite Four.

What's wrong with Giovanni being in the PWT? He probably have never been treated like a criminal in Kanto, and other regions doesn't even know about the Team Rocket.

Not an argument. Unless you can show she is stronger, there is no reason to assume she is stronger than them since the Elite Four are almost always the strongest canon trainers apart from the protagonist and the champion.

There's the difference. We're told that Nanu was picked but declined the offer, so we have a reason to assume that he is on the level of the Elite Four (and we can also infer that Acerola is possibly the weakest of the Elite Four since she's only there because he declined). No such thing exists for Mina, so there's no reason to assume that she is as strong as them.

Although I can't actually see that paragraph on tcrf anymore so it was probably wrong all along.

All the same though, I still think the golf course is part of scrapped content, just like the empty plots of land which turned out to be nothing.

Realistic answer is that she's just too lazy. She's supposed to make a fairy trial and she hasn't done any shit yet, she even gave you the fairium Z without a fight she was intended to have with you, which she happened to forget about.

I don't think anyone has see her fighting for this reason, so I wouldn't be surprised if she wasn't even considered to be a part of the E4

Mina is obviously strong if the Kahuna got together to basically force her to battle you along with Naru to make sure you'd be ready to tackle Guzzlord. She even says in her dialogue that they told her not to hold back and it was absolutely vital that she do it. She probably only did it because the player interests her.
