Ohmori admitted that trials were a last minute addition to Sun/Moon. Basically, he had to cobble together a few barebones trials from the assets he had available (fishing spots, Rotom photo, etc.) in order to rush through a replacement for the Gyms he'd left out.

Imagine /vp/. At this very moment, Gamefreak probably have the barebones outline of a game and they are absolutely SHITTING THEMSELVES wondering what the hell they're going to do to make Pokemon Switch semi-decent.

They're sitting around a table, a handful of new pokemon designs approved, wondering WTF they can create for Pokemon Switch.

Are you worried?
