My thoughts, as typed for the related video:
Wait, now Rowlette is a Grass/Ghost type?! AWESOME!!! GOODBYE 4X ICE WEAKNESS!!! HELLO WILL-O-WISP!!! With a good typing, Decidueye will hopefully be even better than Gourgeist and Trevenent. It will depend on the Hidden Ability, stats, and moves. Spirit Shackle, with the right speed, has the potential of acting like a pseudo Shadow Tag, locking an opponent in, and draining their HP with a Will-O-Wisp and Leech Seed combo.
Decidueye had better get both of these moves BTW, or I'll be upset. Very upset.
Incineroar: awesome name for an awesome Pokémon! He looks good at what he does. And what he does isn't very nice! Move over Houndoom, because you have competition! With set up moves like Bulk Up, he might have potential as a sweeper/counter-sweeper with Darkest Lariat, assuming it has the base power to use in place of Crunch or Dark Pulse.
I know a lot of people are already complaining about Incineroar being a biped, but lets face it: we couldn't ask for a better biped. He looks strong, and muscular, while also looking lean, like a muscle car, unlike Emboar (who is big and ugly). He's also different enough from Blaziken and Infernape, while sharing a typing with one of my favorite Gen 2 Pokémon. And with a good offensive typing, hopefully he has the bulk to use it well, unlike frail Houndoom.
Primarina: You'll have to get a female for this. Breeding this one will be interesting. When I get to it, Wonder Trade is going to be flooded with Popplios. I hope for once, they actually make this starter mostly female. It's not like they'll be hard to obtain anyways, so enough with the 1 in 7 being female shit! I look forward to seeing what sets her apart from Azumarill. Hopefully, she gets some good moves like Nasty Plot or Calm Mind, so she can at least chill out in UU. Sparkling Aria however has no use, since it causes damage. We in the competitive community like to burn down the opposition after all. And unless it also deactivates a Burn Orb permanently, I see it as too situational to use over Scald, Surf, or Hydro Pump.
I'm glad the leaks turned out real. Because these look awesome!
Still, I think this Battle Tree confirms there will be no Battle Frontier. I swear, if they remake Diamond and Pearl, and don't add the Battle Frontier then, I am not getting it. I guess that if they add in other surprise guests, it will sort of make up for it. Hopefully, they'll also give them appropriate Mega Evolutions.

Don't apologize, because everyone is excited, so you can start bouncing off the walls now (especially during Halloween while snacking on sweets. In fact, why don't you wait till then, and give yourself a better pretext?).
