Are these rewards given out by those NPCs who tell us about an upcoming event in X number of days? Do all of them only give out expensive items? I had hoped that some of them would trigger an event in the demo as it is quite lacking in new challenges right now. Has any word been said about new quests by the NPCs?

SPOILERS! Pokemon Sun and Moon Demo Discussion
- Thread starter DHR-107
- Start date
Same thing with random encounters, it's a nice touch.
Just posting to confirm you can do this. I actually prefer the riding costume to be honest. It's much better than the standard garb we get to wear!
All I have done for the last hour or so is run around on Tauros! It's awesome and so fast we might even give up bikes!
I'm not sure if someone mentioned it, but Pikipek learns Rock Smash too
Hey guys,
I have decided to make a list of all the NPC's who say you have to meet them in X days.
If I missed someone please correct me so no-one will miss whatever goodies they give us.
These days are counted from the day the demo was released, if someone wants to add specific dates to them, feel free to do so.
Day 1 (Not timed), Tauros ride 3 stardust. (Talk to the lady at the far end of the road with the Pokécenter) (Any date) On the route towards the trial, beat all 4 trainers and you will get a star peice. (4th one is kinda hard as she has an electro-ball Pikachu)
These are timed:
Day 2, talk to the guy outside of the Pokécenter (19-10-2016)
Day 6, lady wearing a straw hat at the corner south of the Pokécenter (23-10-2016)
Day 13, old man inside of the city hall (31-10-2016)
Day 19, Police man on the docks of the marina, backtrack right of the city hall and go down (6-11-2016)
Day 25, woman inside of the building at the marina docks (12-11-2016)
PLEASE CHECK IF THESE DATES ARE RIGHT!
As far as I can see, after having talked to every NPC after completing the trial these are all timed events.
Fun fact: if you battle a trainer while on Tauros you wear the 'safety clothing' during the battle, thought this was a nice detail to tell. :D
EDIT: Judging on the pokémon I caught: Pikipek has decent speed, quite high attack and decent rest. Yungoos, mine was modest, but he has surprisingly high attack, rest is super decent (same speed as defenses). Rockruff, mine was brave, but he has decent attack and high speed, surprisingly Rockruff has less attack than yungoos.

Rockruff also learns Rock Throw & Bite, I caught one in the mini game. Yungoos also has sand-attack and bite.

Do abilities affect this though? Like talonflame specifically
yeah they're from the NPCs
Friggin Finally that argument gets laid to rest.
I'm pretty sure Gale Wings would affect a Flying-Type Z-Move.
Cresselia~~

I thought we get to keep what we caught in the pokeball challenge.
I was so sad that I have to give away my Pikachus... 1 female and 1 male..
I got a Nugget to be send to the full game for catching at least 3 during my first time, I caught 6 in total. Kinda sad you have to release whatever you catch.
Wait a second, you can actually find Pikachu!? All I found were Pikipek and Yungoos, and only once in a blue moon, Rockruff. Where are the Pikachu hiding?
With the leaking in the demo, some evolutions of pokemon like the starters could be seen. Was this done using hacking and how excactly since the game isnt even out?
Can't remember all of the moves off the top of my head, but I think both Yungoos and Rockruff get Bite. However I can say that Jangmo gets Leer and Hakamo gets Scary Face and Headbutt.
Datamining, the demo is a scripted dummy version of the full game just like the ORAS demo.
When fishing for entries in the demo you get the models and data attached to them as well as music and other scripts.
Basically they where too lazy to remove stuff from the original when scripting the demo and we got a near full leak.
We confirmed Mallowgate harder that Wottergate and even got shiny models of some stuff and a certain character Pokémon with fitting caps.
I won't discuss further, given that a mod deleted my post with images of the UB, the extra Alolan formes and Ash Pikachu(s), but let's say they did a lousy job in trying to masquerade stuff as Pikachu and all the moves as pound, we still got a lot of stuff...even weird stuff for Solgaleo and Lunala.
Again mods don't delete this I'm only explaining how the leaks worked I'm not going to go full spoiler mode nor post images.
The demo has a bit of scripted events for daily stuff, and I'm going to enjoy those for the time being.
I guess this indicates (or confirms?) that Pokémon riding basically replaces the Bicycle.
Has anyone else brought up that, in the bag, the slot for TMs doesn't say "TM & HMs", but just "TMs."
Finally confirmed HMs are a thing of the past?
Guess it would make sense with the Poke Ride feature, but I'm curous what's gonna happen to Surf, since it's still a good move

I'm really liking the layout of the game. So far it looks like once you register a key item(?) you can just click the control pad and instantly use it without having to click Y. Kinda small but will save time. Just need to get use to it.
Also another thing I noticed from battling wild Pokemon is that you no longer need to click on the bag to use Pokeballs. Whatever was the last ball you threw will be registered and all you need to do is click Y and then you have the option to throw it or scroll through your Pokeballs. I wonder what other things have changed

It may be old news, but I still find being able to check stat raises/drops, along with volatile status conditions of each Pokemon on the battlefield is very cool. I also like how touchscreen-friendly it is for allowing us to check the info without having to press L+A.
no the last thing we need is pokemon like talonflame and zard to come in without taking the 50% stealth rock damage... the paralysis nerf is more than enough considering now its 90% accurate and the fact that it only reduces the speed by half.. i don't know why they reduced the accuracy and i don't i like it since its used mainly to cripple fast pokemon.. and now that it can miss, its a game changer like will-o-miss... but yea stealth rock is the only hazard that varies depending on the typing of the pokemon and i think it works out well..
