Rest talk with Bulk up is pretty much the new curselax of this gen.

Who uses Brick Break on their Medicham?
Well, that's kinda what happens when you let Shuckle set up on you.
The Rotomdex does constantly remind you to progress the story though, it just doesn't pause the game to do it.

I dare suppose Bewear got its name for a new reason then. :P
Mainly out of curiosity, I dare ask: if there was one mechanic that you could change that has been present in all the core series games thus far, which would it be?
Ilynne: "… Sidney… that gasmask of hers… why does she wear it…? And… why… why is there no… violet text color…?"
Face me now, Bitch!
They already did with the HM's being removed, but as far as mechanics, I want there to be a way to have multiple diffculty settings and save files. I can see gamefreak going that way with Gen 8, since so many long time fans have been asking for it, thanks to the likely switch to HD with the Switch.

Hm's are gone?
One Strip! One Strip!
Replaced by Ride Pokemon.
Yep. Ride Pokemon take their place. No more HM slaves. No more wasted move slots, no more "Guess I'll have to come back later" except for earlier in the game when you simply haven't unlocked a particular ride, yet.
I'm at a 50+ chain of Sandiles trying to get a Rough Skin Garchomp
these guys are as anti-chain as the Hakomo-o in Poni Canyon
why gamefreak
they can call castform that change the weather

Although, it could be that Ride Pokémon are only available in certain regions (like Alola), or that Hidden Machines will be returning in a future game? Ilynne: "… Sidney… that gasmask of hers… why does she wear it…? And… why… why is there no… violet text color…?"
They're commonly cited as one of the worst mechanics in the series so unless Gamefreak are just that out of touch I doubt they'll ever come back. They made TMs infinite use and that's stuck since, so quality of life improvements that significant tend to stay that way.
Rather or not Ride Pokemon will always be in the games is a different story, though. It makes the most sense thematically, but I could see them put twists on it in each new game.
What's an HM-maker?
The people In-Universe who make Hidden Machines I'd assume.

So what about stuff where you don't necessarily ride Pokemon (like using Cut or Strength or Rock Smash)?
Beyond that, I'm kinda glad that HM's are gone, though I'll miss them a little.
One Strip! One Strip!
The Tauros you get both doubles as your bike and smashes through rocks. A Machamp carries you with its lower arms and pushes with its upper arms for strength.
There are no cut trees in Sun and Moon.
kartana is the only pokemon in the whole game that can learn cut
Leader of the Holey Brotherhood
Well then, that takes care of that.
I will miss those HM's. Is gonna be weird to not have them anymore.
One Strip! One Strip!
Not as angry as the name would suggest.
I personally think that Stoutland makes for a better Bike equivalent - it feels more maneuverable.
Oh God! Natural light!
Mecha and Waifu, become one!
Uggh, apparently if you want a metal coat for your scyther or onix in Sun/Moon you have to steal it off of wild mons. Good luck as it's only a 5% CHANCE of said mon having it. :v

Not certain on whether or not it ought to be spoiler'd, but I'll play safe and do so anyway.
According to Bulbapedia's HM page, two Swimmer Girls appear at Poni Breaker Coast (in the post-game); they apparently explain that HMs are difficult to make and that, in most regions, they cannot legally be sold.

We have a dediated Pokemon Go thread if you want that.
@Rotomdex
It's adorable, i love it. I certainly never really found it annoying, since he doesn't constantly remind you, "hey you need to go places" (unless that marker on the bottom counts as constantly reminding you, but remember, it could be worse).
Also, the fact that the he doesn't constantly tell you "go progress the story" every 5 seconds means you can go do whatever you want before progressing.
