It turns out that something interesting was mentioned during E3, but hardly anyone noticed it. It was actually revealed that in order to become the Champion, the player has to win the "island trials". Judging from the name alone, we are not dealing with standard gyms.
The question is: Just how different are the trials than gyms? Is it just semantics, or are Game Freak finally shaking up the formula? Could there be more to these trials than battles, much like the anime's Orange League? Will there be one trial per island, or two to mirror the number of gyms? Could the island trials be a replacement for the Elite Four instead of gyms?
