So another poor rival? Well the last time we had a good one was gen 2 so I`m kinda used to that.

Disappointed that you mention Kanto callbacks though. Just seems like GF tried to go for gen 1 nostalgia way too hard for me. Wouldn`t have minded some, but it just seems over the top. If they wanted that many callbacks to older stuff then they really should have done some for the other gens and not just 1, wouldn`t feel so forced that way and would actually have some variety.

As for surf, does it still work? Like when you get the TM and teach one of your pokemon surf can you still ride them? Or are you only able to use official ride pokemon and not your own?

I'm only on the second island, so my thoughts might change, but so far I've found the callbacks to previous gens to be less one-sided than in X/Y. 

 X/Y was no more nostalgia-dependent than any previous gen. This one took a bit too far. Alolan forms are only of Gen1 pokemon. Your character comes from Kanto. You get to battle Blue and Red. Theres a character that's named Oak, thats pofessor Oak's cousin and look exactly like him with a tan!!! Like wtf
