I think its still very possible, but the girl does not quite match up with the leaked information I've seen about the Elite Four so far:I was convinced that the Fighting E4 was basically confirmed beingthe girl dressed in black with Hariyama seen in the trailer
- Kaka previously claimed that the E4 have the following characteristics
- Child
- Teacher
- Gym Leader
- Female
- He went on to say that out of these four, "Teacher" and "Gym Leader" are already "public", but "Child" and "Female" are not. This was on August 5th, after the second trailer.
- From this, we can assume that the "Child" and "Female" E4 members have not been shown yet, so we can remove them from the equation for now.
- I do not think these terms are necessarily mutually exclusive, which means that "Gym Leader" could also be a teacher at the school, its just that this is not how Kaka chose to define him/her.
- Later, Khu Tweeted an image of a Man in a Suit that was seen among the school staff in the second trailer, labelling him "E4". We can deduce that this person is the "Teacher", and he has since been speculated to be the Dragon-Type member. So we can remove "Teacher" from the equation.
- The remaining member that we can identify is "Gym Leader", which could mean the following:
- Option A: One of the E4 is literally a Gym Leader, in which case they must be either Bug, Ice, Water, Normal, Grass, Electric, Ghost, or Psychic. However, none of these match the leaked E4 types.
- Option B: One of the E4 is a family member or is otherwise related to one of the "Gym Leaders", which means they can have any one of the leaked E4 types.
- Freeing this up, "Gym Leader" could very well be the Girl with the Hariyama, but there isn't anything to suggest that she is related to one of the known Gym Leaders. Alternatively, "Gym Leader" could be the Lady in the Coat next to the Man in the Suit, as she looks similar to the leaked image of the Ghost Gym Leader.
So unless Kaka made a mistake (which he does sometimes), I personally don't think the girl with the Hariyama is the Fighting E4. I think we only have enough info to know for certain that the Man in the Suit is one of the E4, and we'll have to wait for more info before we can definitively identify the rest.
