Trial Captain: Difference between revisions
Better not to be general, as I don't remember the game specifying anything about seven being the "ordinary" number of trials. All we know is the number of captains and trials at this point in time, we don't know whether it shifts as captains come and go.

A '''Trial Captain''' (Japanese: '''キャプテン''' ''Captain'') is a [[Human|person]] who designs and presides over a certain [[island challenge]] trial and gives guidance to participating {{pkmn|Trainer}}s. All of the Trial Captains have previously completed their own island challenge a few years prior. They retire from their position when they turn 20. Like [[Gym Leader]]s, they [[Type expert|specialize]] in certain [[type]]s of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. They can be identified by the flower-shaped adornment they wear someplace on their bodies, each with a different colored jewel to represent their specialized type. | A '''Trial Captain''' (Japanese: '''キャプテン''' ''Captain'') is a [[Human|person]] who designs and presides over a certain [[island challenge]] trial and gives guidance to participating {{pkmn|Trainer}}s.

In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], there are seven Trial Captains who each preside over a trial in the island challenge, although as shown by the [[Vast Poni Canyon]] trial, a trial can exist in a functional form without a Captain to preside over it. | ||
Normally, Captains are chosen by the island's [[Island Kahuna|Kahuna]]. However, in special circumstances, they may be chosen by the previous Captain, as was the case when [[Molayne]] chose [[Sophocles]] to succeed him after retiring. | Normally, Captains are chosen by the island's [[Island Kahuna|Kahuna]].
