There was a leak before the reveal of the Alola forms that predicted a lot of this, including Oricorio, in such detail that it basically confirms it had a legitimate source. It started with a leak from China that included concept images of the final evolutions of the starters, and was expanded upon to contain more information later.

For full information on this:
The Leak
•There actually are No Gyms - SEEMINGLY CONFIRMED
•There is more than one evolution for Rockruff including a Werewolf
•Yungoos' evolution is fat and hairy - CONFIRMED
•Time works differently in each version
•There are new forms of old Pokemon which are not Mega Evolutions but more along the line of Shellos/Wordam. Another chunk of information suggests that these are a few Pokemon that'll get new forms... Butterfree (Bug/Psychic), Rattata line (Dark), Nidoqueen/Nidoking (Poison/Fighting), Ninetails (Fire/Fairy), Growlithe line (Water), Abra line (Fighting), Duduo line (Fighting/Flying) - EXISTENCE OF FORMS CONFIRMED, THOUGH NINETAILS IS ICE/FAIRY, NOT FIRE/FAIRY.
•Pokemon transferred from the VC releases will have pre-gen 6 typings/stats
•The stone bracelets have nothing to do with Synchro Evolution - CONFIRMED
•Ash-Greninja is in the game
•S.S Anne appears in the game
•Larger, but not by much, amount of brand new Pokemon than last gen
•Looker, Cynthia, Blue, Zinnia, AZ, and Lance all make appearances
•Furfrou's hair cut can be changes in the new Amie
•Some of the new forms for old Pokemon get new animations (Mentions the Abra line)
•Transferring through Bank will be the only way to get some forms of old Pokemon
•There is a flying type bird whose appearance varies each island - CONFIRMED
•There is a 2 stage cat Pokemon that is Normal when captures but will inherit the fathers primary type as its 2nd type when hatched and the color/pattern varies by type
•There is a Snowman like mentioned in the Chinese rumor and it is an Ice/Ghost 2 stager and it is an Ice/Ghost 2 stage
