I think 18 is a bit much. Maybe 8 at the most but 18 is too many in my opinion.

That's a very vague assumption. I don't see why Sophocles would be on a separate island as the other three who are all on Akala Island.I think Sophocles will be located in the observatory of the "UlaUla Island". In the vídeo you can fairly ser some kind of ceiling full of stars.
Yes, I mentioned that in the Island Trials thread. But one thing is for sure, he is definitely on Akala Island. So in September they'll reveal Ula'Ula Island's captains, October will be Poni Island's captains and November will be Mele Island's captains.I'm pretty sure he's in the lighthouse on Akala Island, or that seems to be the common assumption.
The four trial captains shown so far could all, maybe Sophocles, linked to the second island, Akala. 16 is for all the types bar Poison and Dark. It has been rumored that the Poison Z-Crystal you obtain from Plumeria and the Dark Z-Crystal from Guzma.
and i don't necessarily disagree with the idea that they'll be 18 Totems (or perhaps 16 Totems with 2 Z-Crystals from Skull), i just don't think there'll be 16-18 of them tied to Trials. i think what's more likely is that there's 6-12 Trials that are in the main campaign and then a handful of them as optional content.
i mean, hell, look at what we know for Melemele: you fight Hau a second time at levels 7-8; Totem-Gumshoos is fought at around 15; you then fight Hala to proceed to the next island where what is perhaps the first Totem, Lurantis, is fought at level 23. throw in a couple of Skull encounters (the first one that occurs nearby the Pokemon Center that's obscured by the waterfall area as well as the harbor area), and you're really running out of levels to smash in three more Trials, let alone locations to put them in. i could see maybe a second trial easily, but a third or fourth is really pushing it.
that's a bit of a circular conclusion though, don't you think?By the sounds of that, it almost seems like leveling has been slowed down.

Well it just seems like a lot of in-game progress without a lot of leveling, that's all. As f they're slowing down leveling to fit more game length and content.that's a bit of a circular conclusion though, don't you think?
That's a strong possibility.Do the levels in the trailers really matter though? The game isn't complete yet. What we see could just be developer shenanigans and nothing more. It's possible the actual battles with Hala, Guzma, etc. could be at higher levels.
plus some darker story maybe just for adults would be amazing, but that will probably never happen because I realize as an adult l'm no longer their main targeted audience.
Yes, you can pretty much rely on the eternal absence of any piece of Pokémon media that is "just for adults."
However, this does not mean that there cannot be a "darker" story. Darker story elements are not exclusive to "adult" media (the games have already included quite a lot as it is) - what you won't get is a more cynical story, because the series always maintains an optimistic tone and has little cause to do otherwise.
iirc Team Galactic and Flare already attempted mass genocide.Yes, but I mean like a truly horrific tale that anyone under eighteen wouldn't be allowed to play. For example like murder, genocide, profanity, and etc. I know GF has touched on these topics in the past, but just an overview with the safety guards on. And rightly so because it is a game that's catered to children mostly with everybody else in the minority. I'm not saying it will never happen, just extremely unlikely.
Edit: haha cynical is exactly what I was trying to describe.
Flare I can understand, but why Galactic? They just wanted to have legendaries under their control.iirc Team Galactic and Flare already attempted mass genocide.
