Yeah, I really believe this is going to be the case. It makes complete sense to me after thinking about it a little.
We saw in the E3 footage of Sun and Moon that each of Alola's four islands has a guardian deity, the one for the island you start on being Tapu Koko.
I don't know a word of Japanese, but the CoroCoro scans of the new dog and new koala Pokemon seemed to show that the starters and the dog have a secret.
In the E3 footage, Hala says the player character met with Tapu Koko the day before that festival battle. Besides a few NPCs, the only living thing the player met that day had to be his/her starter. In this case, Popplio. Whichever starter you picked is the key to finding whichever deity it goes with, and is a messenger of some sort to it. What I mean is that the player met Tapu Koko not literally, but simply through the starter Popplio. The other two starters and the dog will be the keys to the other three. If you pick Litten or Rowlet instead of Popplio, you'll be told that you "met" with a different island's deity and if Hau picks Popplio, he'll have been the one to "meet" Tapu Koko.
In the end, these deities are surely legendary Pokemon. I think we'll only be able to catch them if we acquire the dog and starter Pokemon, perhaps in their final evolutionary forms. It's also possible that the four deities' types will match those of the starters and dog too. Rowlet's deity will be Grass/Flying, Litten's Fire and whatever second type it gets, Popplio's deity Tapu Koko is Water/Fairy (?), and the dog's deity is Rock (and if it gets a second type, then said second type as well).
This make enough sense?
