Players liked the idea of the Trials and the Kahuna, but they wonder if the gyms will come back
Iwao: This time the traditional gyms won't be there and the Trials continue, that traditional form of the region of Alola for trainers to improve. But we made an extra effort to reinforce the Trias, in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon we made some changes and added certain elements to improve its gameplay.
Even if there won't be traditional gyms as such, [USUM] will have a new feature based on the same idea and we want the players to try it by themselves.
