Based on trainer battle number, Kahili is supposed to be the last person ; ie the champion.

Seems fitting tho. A strong trainer, Prestigious, wealthy, well-known

Seems fitting rather than coo-coo-ee filling in as the last challenger

Oh yeah, totally, that's why when 99% of folks get to her room, the only thing they say is "literally who is this random bitch?"

Oh, well I guess that makes it okay that the only time you see her is in her League room, and she does does exactly between "jack" and "shit" the entire game then, doesn't it?

It could be, she was Island Challenge Champion once and she also was mentioned in the demo despite never appearing in the main game until the League, also Flying type would be interestingt type for a champ, but Lance kinda has this place in a way with all the flying types he owns. But it could also be Lillie and Hau. If Lillie, Ice type champ would be interesting. Hau will just have no prefered type. But I also kinda hope it someone completely new.

The difference here is that, of the characters making up the Pokemon League in Alola, Kahili is the only one that comes completely out of nowhere. She's not a Trial Captain, she has no scenes before the League is established, she's not even mentioned by anyone. You only find out who she is at the moment just before you battle here, when the game decides providing an infodump is the best way to familiarize you with the character. The very end of the game.

In a game where they actually do a good job of introducing you to everyone, and everyone else at the League makes some sense, Kahili sticks out like a sore thumb for being the one person who's had zero presence in the game whatsoever up until then. Nothing hinted at her existence the entire game. She's just there. It's bad storytelling and writing.

I was referring to the Elite Four. Even so, you meet Professor Kukui at the very start of the game. He also has a sizable number of scenes where you interact with him, and he's available for you to see/interact with all the time. Kahili, again, simply doesn't exist until you enter her room in the Pokemon League.

I hope you're aware that Sun/Moon demo mentioned Kahili, as a quite strong trainer, making a comeback to Alola.

The fact you need a source outside the game proper to inform you of her is, again, bad writing. She should have been mentioned in Pokemon Sun/Moon themselves. Anyone who didn't play through the demo (and they exist) will have no idea who she is, and a number of the people who DID play through it will have either forgotten it entirely or missed it.

its actually reverse psychology

everyone else has backstory
since she's the only one without any in the E4, she stands out in the crowd and makes people remember her

We don't need Caitlin to remind her as the owner of Battle Castle, or being in Sinnoh BF, in BW. You have to play the older games/or spin-offs, demos, to actually relate the characters from the past story. No one could know the E4 Caitlin is actually a character in Pt/HGSS, if they didn't play it. Can't see much difference here.

The order works for the surprise factor as well:

>Hala: "Ok, I guess the Elite 4 are the Kahunas"

>Olivia: "Yep, definitely the Kahunas"

>Acerola: "WTF, huh okay"

>Kahili: "LITERALLY WHO?!"
