Trials were a neat idea, but horribly executed. Those "puzzles" were shorter than the puzzles of the gyms and were repetive (Rotom camera was used two times, a quiz two times etc. and you fought against the same pokemon over and over again, while trainers in gyms usually have a wider pool of pokemon. Not speaking about the Totem battles, which were pretty much the ace pokemon of a leader: While they're strong, it is the only strong pokemon while the other are wild pokemon level of strong and only are there for the Totem pokemon not to be some total jokes since you can use all six pokemon against one single pokemon. All of them except Wishiwashi and Lurantis were to easy and forgettable.
Also those trial areas take away some space of the region. The volcano on the second island = a trial, the forest=trial etc. while gyms are IN a building, which don't take away region space.
Not talking how sudden and rushed the last seventh trial was and there being only six real trials in generell.
If they have to do it again, then at least ditch those totem pokemon and mix in those Kahunas in them.
