Meaningless SM edits that will not affect the quality of the game but will make autists rage.
>Starters pokedex entries now go water, grass, fire
>No fat guy in starter town to praise modern technology
>Surfing is not necessary to complete story mode
>Nicknaming is removed
Okay, but none of that will happen.

>>Nicknaming is removed
That one actually impacts the game. How am I supposed to know which pokemon are mine without giving them shitty nicknames.
As for your question: Rival doesn't get 3rd evolution of starter pokemon
>>26625825
>removing a feature doesn't affect the quality of the game
OK.

The first one is already deconfirmed by the new trailer. The starters go in the normal order.

The fat guy thing might.
That said,
>you can only access the other islands by boat, because surf doesn't put you high enough on the water to get on the docks

>The fat guy thing might.
Fair enough. Correction:
Okay, but none of those that actually matter will happen.

The surf thing happened in Gen 5 and it was great.

True, good point. You literally needed to use an HM once the entire game. It'd be great if they'd do that again.
I don't see that happening in Alola, though. Too much water - there's got to be mandatory surfing *somewhere*.
I never nickname my Pokemon and neither do the opponents. I rarely ever see nicknamed Pokemon, basically just from trades with players and NPCs.
I'd feel more inclined to do it if the other trainers in the game did it too. They should do that.
