The create-your-own-legaue was taken from the Chinese leak. I also don't see a Water/Fairy Guardian since I see the Guardians matching the types of Oricorio. (Ghost, Psychic, Electric and Fire with all of them with Fairy-type)

I could definitely see the main game being long especially if there's a lot of Trial Captains for every type and Team Skull/Aether Foundation stuff in it, the amount of Pokemon can vary with currently no exact number, the guardians type is most likely based on Oricorio.

I'd like to argue that since Tapu Koko has an Electric Terrain ummoning ability, I'd think that most of the Guardians are a combination of their terrain type plus the Oricorio typings.

Akala Island Guardian: Grass/Fire, summons Grassy Terrain
Pa'u Style Island Guardian: Fairy/Psychic, summons Misty Terrain
Sensu Style Island Guardian: Ghost/???, summons some new terrain for Ghost-type Pokémon

Can anyone tell me the names of the last two islands? I'd like to have the correct names for my list. Anyways, I think these typings are reasonable enough, but I'm not sure about the final Guardian's secondary type.

Though it's still unconfirmed until now, many believe that the names of the last two is Ula' Ula' (dunno how to spell it, sorry) and Poni.

The last two islands are assumed to be Ula Ula and Poni if everything follows the currently set pattern with Mele Mele, Akala, and the Oricorio forms.

The eastern island with the snowy mountain has been speculated to be Ula'ula and the western island with the big tree has been speculated to be Poni island.

The Guardians type combinations:
Tapu Koko: Electric/Fairy (Melemele Island)
Tapu ???: Psychic/Fairy (Akala Island)
Tapu ???: Fire/Fairy (Ula'ula Island)
Tapu ???: Ghost/Fairy (Poni Island)

Definitions of the islands:
Melemele - Yellow
Akala - Pink
Ula'ula - Red
Poni - Purple

Sure. The story might even be over 200 hours with more than 1000 Pokemon overall.

I've been wondering about the "create your own league" thing. Chinese leak, which is clearly accurate, says the objective is to build a league, but so far that doesn't seem like the overall objective of the game at all. It also says island leaders replace the Elite Four, but I'm pretty sure you fight Hala long before you would face the Elite Four in a normal game. Also, the "you can ride almost any Pokemon" spoiler, because it seems like you can ride a lot of Pokemon, but not even close to all of them.

Not saying the Chinese leak is fake, because at this point it's obviously not. Just wondering if maybe they only heard about things second-hand.

That is false. It says that the Elite 4 will appear after you have established the League. So basically you recruit 8 presumably Trial Captains to partake as Gym Leaders. This gives more fuel to the theory that there will be 18 Trial Captains, one for each type. Just imagine! You can maybe recruit a Dark-type Gym Leader! :p

I wouldn't call 6 a lot, either, and there might not be any others. XY had 5.

But what if there are Pokemon that you can ride underwater? Sharpedo seems like a jetski while Lapras seems like regular surfing. So what if we could dive with some Pokemon?

And this would bring the number up by how much, exactly? The point is that the Chinese leak was blatantly wrong about nearly all Pokemon being rideable. The situation is much closer to XY.

It would at least bring it up. But I guess even the most credible leaks are wrong with some things.

I really dislike the final starter evos in the Chinese leak... none of them take my interest in the slightest, so I really do hope they don't see the light of day.

I love the idea of split evolutions for the starters though, would give us options if we dislike a certain one.

Let's just hope that they are time-based, hey! :p

There might not be any others, but it's also possible that there's still many more they have yet to show.

Also, the way I interpret "any Pokemon" is "any Pokemon that looks rideable". Surely you don't think of riding Pikachu, right? That's all I have to say on this topic.

Thematically the Elite Four could be a close parallel to the four Kahunas regardless of at what point you face them in the game, is how I interpret that.

Good points though, especially about riding almost any pokemon; that would've been cool if true

Gamefreak would let you fly on Pikachu if they thought to do so to be honest

You could always just not use them if you don't like any of them.

Of course, but I adore Rowlet & Litten and wouldn't want to see them turn into those leaks, personally... Have there been any other leaks regarding the final starters evos I may have missed? (Been away from the forums for most of the Summer).

Most of the ones that say stuff about split forms are mostly fake. Oh well can't expect every pokemon to meet your expectations.
