:It's been discussed on the Discord with some very well in-depth research, most people seem to agree it should just be Captain, with a large majority of the staff agreeing with it. I think the decision was that it should be moved, but the action was never done. (of course staff members, and other users are allowed to correct me on this.) As the page suggests, the "trial" part of "trial Captain" was only ever made within promotional material for English only, every other time their role has been mentioned it's only been "Captain." Other languages don't even use the word "trial" or it's alternative and simply just call them "Captain" (or their alternative). Capitalization was also inconsistent in Sun and Moon, but by Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, it's been primarily fully capitalized. (TL;DR: "trial" isn't part of their name.)

::Why was that never brought up here? Seems like an unnecessary idea to me, personally. It's still an official term. Shouldn't discussions like this happen here in the open rather than hidden on Discord? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 11:09, 13 April 2024 (UTC) | ::Why was that never brought up here?

:::The thought was likely never brought up. It's easier for me to bring something up on the discord and have people research it that (which significant progress was made). Sometimes things slip passed without proper resolution. Another reason is that [[Captain]] is also already a page for a disambig, so discussion also just involved what the page should actually be titled, and not just "Captain (Trainer Class)" because that would ruin some inconsistency with stuff like [[Gym Leader]] which doesn't have that tag on it. | |||
:::Personally, I'm under the boat of Captain (Sun and Moon), or changing the old disambig to Captain (disambiguate) and calling this one Captain. Calling it Captain (Trainer Class) is a bit awkward when it talks about the properties of the Captains when they're not always a Trainer Class.
