These new Pokémon look quite interesting. The only one of this batch I definitely won't train is the new Pikachu clone. For some reason, I trained a Minun, a Pachirisu and an Emolga in their respective Gens and they all sucked. Never again.
The thing that caught my attention the most were all the new Abilities. Even if the Pokémon themselves won't be any good, their Abilities sound fantastic. Dazzling, Comatose, Berserk and Electric Surge all seem awesome. I just wish Tapu Koko isn't a legendary Pokémon so that I can actually use it.

From the clip they used, it looks like dazzling makes priority moves fail? Which is... interesting, at least.

Hyper Training will allow us to raise the IVs of our Pokémon? Now we're talking! Goodbye, breeding! I don't even mind that it will only work if the Pokémon is at level 100, because I always raise my team to level 100 anyway. Now all I have to do is catch Pokémon with the right Natures and leave the rest to Hyper Training and possibly Ability Capsules if necessary. This is a godsend.
Bewear looks kinda stupid, but I can't help but laugh at its name and who knows, it may be better than the previous bear Pokémon. Too bad that Fluffy is just a poor man's Fur Coat. Taking double damage from Fire-type attacks sucks.
Mimikyu is adorable. How could I not love it? I'll definitely train one. Its Ability is basically a free Substitute and that's awesome. Most of these new Abilities in Gen 7 are incredible.
Wimpod is a wimpy bug and it has the Wimp Out Ability. Okay then. Unless it evolves into something extremely badass, I think I'll skip this one.
Comfey seems to be the inanimate object of this Gen. I kinda like that it's a lei, but I can't believe it's another pure Fairy-type that looks like it should be a Grass/Fairy-type. Yes, I know, Florges is great partly because she is a pure Fairy-type, but still.
Mudsdale looks awesome and I have a feeling that it will also be awesome. It's a goddamn Ground-type draft horse that increases its Defense every time it gets hit. That thing so has a place in my team.
And finally, Cherrim Jr. Bounsweet, the Pokémon that has a tendency to get eaten by other Pokémon. Yikes. Even if the poor bastard turns out to be better than Cherrim, I don't think I'll be interested.

Despite the new exeggutor form looking like a monstrosity out of some sort of fresh hell, I really like giving old pokemon new forms, instead of making even more new ones. The new pokemon revealed have actually been mostly good so far, because of their abilities if nothing else. That, along with the same old formula finally being changed up a little bit (Looks like we're finally getting out Orange Islands game, kind of), is convincing me to buy this game instead of hold out for a DP remake. I'd still like that remake though.

While I'd also love a DP remake (Sinnoh 4lyfe), SuMo looks really really great so far. The changes are fresh and I think it'll make this gen pretty memorable in the long run.
Dragon Exeggutor makes me wanna cry, but hell if I'm not training a badass Ice/Steel Sandslash (Sandslush?).
The only thing I don't know how I feel about is Z-moves, but I felt the same way about Mega Evolution when it came out so who knows.

Where to begin? Alola apparently doesn't have a League or Gym Leaders, it has an Island Challenge, Trial Captains and Kahunas. Okay, I'm cool with that. It's nice to finally change the formula a little after 20 years, right? (I still want an evil Team, though.) The Trial Captains look like cool characters and of course their types are Grass, Water, Electric and Fire. I could've seen that coming if I'd known that there would be only four "Gyms" in Alola. Anyway, I'm getting nice Orange League vibes. Maybe this means that Ash will actually win the Kalos League and the anime will get a new protagonist. Alolan versions of Kanto Pokémon are a mixed bag for me. I actually think Alolan Exeggutor looks hilarious and Alolan Vulpix and Ninetales look gorgeous, but their Abilities are pretty horrendous. As for Snowshrew and Snowslash, they are Ice/Steel-types? Really? That's a terrible combination with a double weakness against two common offensive types. Not only that, but they have Snow Cloak too? Unless Snow Cloak has somehow been boosted in this Gen, I don't think I'll train a Snowslash. I'll train an Alolan Ninetales, however, because it's just so pretty.I can't even say how many Donald Trump jokes Gumshoos has inspired so far. Still, it has such great Abilities that I might give it a try. I had a feeling Mudsdale was an evolved Pokémon, so it's nice to see that I was right. Mudbray is the first donkey Pokémon, so it has that going for it. I don't understand why it was overhunted, though. I can't imagine it tasting very good. Minior is a Rock/Flying-type with a cool new Ability and it's also an Easter egg because you won't know what it looks like until you break it open. Neat. I hope it evolves. The new Grass-types don't look like anything special to me. Lurantis is said to be the most beautiful Grass-type and it learns a powerful new move, but I don't care about any of that unless it has good Stats to compensate for its lackluster Ability, Leaf Guard. How many Alola Pokémon have Leaf Guard now? Hopefully it's been boosted. Oricorio is awesome. It can change its type and it has a great new Ability. I just hope that Dancer will allow Oricorio to use the move it was ordered to use even after copying the opponent's Dance move if Oricorio is slower than its opponent. And finally, Z-moves! Maybe they and the Alolan Forms are this Gen's Mega Evolution. If so, then I don't mind. Only a small percentage of Pokémon could Mega Evolve, but EVERY Pokémon can use Z-moves and I love it. Too bad they can be used only once during a battle, but if they won't cause their users to recharge in the next turn, then I couldn't care less. Elemental Hyper Beams and Giga Impacts, eat your hearts out. Despite the new exeggutor form looking like a monstrosity out of some sort of fresh hell, I really like giving old pokemon new forms, instead of making even more new ones. The new pokemon revealed have actually been mostly good so far, because of their abilities if nothing else. That, along with the same old formula finally being changed up a little bit (Looks like we're finally getting out Orange Islands game, kind of), is convincing me to buy this game instead of hold out for a DP remake. I'd still like that remake though. I, for one, want more new Pokémon than XY gave us, but I agree with everything else you said. I've always liked the Orange Archipelago saga in the anime, although I was a little disappointed that Ash only had to battle two of the four Gym Leaders. Luckily, it seems that the player has to perform various trials first and then battle the Trial Captains in SM. Snowslash. Also booo snow cloak is dumb and boring. Yeah... Let's hope Snow Cloak and Leaf Guard are better in SM.
