I'm generally not fond of the anime's party changes for game characters but I think Midday fits Olivia better than Midnight so I'm okay with this change.

If Gladion has Midnight Lycanroc and Olivia has Midday Lycanroc… would that mean that Professor Kukui may not have a Lycanroc and may not be the Champion?

Kukui's not really the champion in the games. He only battles the player after they beat the Elite Four because that's how it's done in Kanto and he apparently really loves Kanto. No other reason for it. He even calls the player Alola's first-ever champion. And since Ash lives with him in the anime, having Kukui suddenly unveil a champion-level team would really strain credulity for me.

I'm not really upset about Team Rocket not appearing because I think way too often they just serve as a generic obstacle for the character of the day to defeat and I don't really like them in that role.
 
I think it would be Twilight based off how the other two are also based off times of day and Twilight is between the.
Well, at first I thought it would be called early morning or morning form because they were specific about the time of day.

But that's just kinda silly. Twilight sounds better. Never thought I would be saying that.

Hm, I wonder...are they finally moving to a different island for a longer term, or is it just for a couple or so episodes?
 
Yeah Akala is probably the summer arc they usually do at least once.

Wasn't Hano Beach mentioned in some preview? Could it be where the class is staying?

Yeah, the first preview, where Nurse Joy was talking to her Pokemon, but some narrations in the Sun and Moon previews are either non/canon and/or don't have anything to do with the plot of the episode, but I could see them going there in the episode. And speaking of Nurse Joy, I guess this means that Ash might see the Nurse Joy on Akala Island or one of the Nurse Joy's and he might assume it's the same one that he's seen on Melemele Island multiple times. I hope he does continue this trend.

Or... Could they (for the first time ever) look different from one another?!

Nah. Who am I trying to kid?
