Also, I really, REALLY loved riding around on the Tauros, it felt really MEATY to smash those rocks with it.
As an aside to this - I hope we can somehow choose to wear the riding gear all the time once we get access to customisation. Really digging that outfit.
Edit: Related to Mencee's comment above, I wonder if Wishiwashi will be the first mon to learn Surf naturally then?

Oh, so much this. Especially compared to the Rhyhorn in XY, which moved slower than walking pace, and had to stop to smash boulders. Tauros just runs through them like nobody's business. Tauros is a little sluggish, but great when it comes up to speed, versus Rhyhorn which simply is sluggish all the time.
Well, it's a Tauros and you are comparing it to a Rhyhorn. Makes sense considering their base Speed stats :P
I like the way Z-Moves work. It won't necessarily be a one-shot move unless you use the strongest moves in the game, so it adds an interesting balancing element for the early parts of the game. Also does Battle Bond power up Water Shuriken before the transformarion? I know it became a special move, but it felt unusually powerful even before becoming Ash-Greninja.
CTNC
Doesn't know how to attack
Did anyone notice there's a joke with the Slowpoke blockade to the south? I have it hidden in case anyone wants to check it out for themselves. (Talk to them from left to right.)
Slo.
Hooww.
Nooo.
Uhhhh.
Poke.
Slohow- no, uh... poke.
Who has to think about what their own name is? :P

Alolan Dugtrio is not in the demo, you can only see it in the overworld
I think someone was able to hack it into battle but the game just crashes once it tries to do something
I use a 2DS and haven't noticed really big frame rates. Everything looks pretty to me.
Btw, I have to protest on something:
WHY ON EARTH CAN'T WE SIT?
Come on! That was one of the most stunning things in XY, being able to sit and enjoy the scenery. Now I can't even sit in a bar stool. Sad. Really sad...
While doing the capture challenge I noticed that both yungoos and pikipek give Atk EVs
Edit: rokruff also gives Atk EVs

I have a question: How do you trigger Dugtrio's event? I have been resetting for a while now and the old guy is not on the beach
Not sure if this was mentioned, but has anybody else seen why the "effectivity" of moves isn't there for every battle? I've seen it in the Jangmo-o, but not Hakamo-on wild battles. Seems weird.
The feature only takes place once you've encountered the Pokemon at least once, if it's your first encounter with that Pokemon it will not provide those details
Also want to know it.
Btw, I find it a cool detail that Ash-Greninja takes the Shuriken from its back instead of creating it with its hand after transforming.
One thing I noticed that no one seemed to have mentioned is that there's a person in front of what appears to be a clothing store that mentions someone named Kahili. She states that Kahili is a golfing genius from Alola that is also quite strong in pokemon battles before stating that she's off conquering the world and hopes she returns someday.
I reckon Kahili is the champion then?

There may be a "Big Kahuna" or something like that.
