I'm getting Sun ... and I've noticed the "Version Exclusives" isn't too big compared to previous games.

Yeah, I hope it's because of the time gimmick and that there will be a huge number of events that are "exclusive" due to the nature of the times the games take place in.

one pupper is split between both the games, so you will never be fully fulfilled unless you Pre-Order the Steelbook Dual Pack from Amazon like myself
Oh no! Now I don't know what to do.

I tend to play games in the evening, so perhaps I should get Sun to balance that out? Maybe?

Am I a talkhaus first? I got a shiny Caterpie this morning (about two hours ago). I know they're pretty common, but still.

A shiny already? You lucky duck. I'm pretty sure mine won't come until I've long since finished the game.
Nonetheless, this is tons of fun so far. Except trying to catch Abra The UI is such a drastic improvement from even X and Y... It's kind of amazing how much they improved quality of life stuff.

I'm moving my way up the story fairly slowly, trying to catch as many pokemon as I can along the way. Pro-tip for the Abra - in the city's pokemon center, there's a guy that gives you 10 ultra balls if you have 10 pokemon in your dex. I got my Abra on my second ultra ball.

I don't know if the feature gets brought in later, but I really miss the chaining system from ORAS.

Actually, it's not true for a different reason. I have the digital version. When you start up the digital version, you have to pick a language. It has all the languages, they're already in the game.

The calling for help mechanic is brilliantly programmed. If you are trying to catch the Pokémon, it will successfully call for help always. If you are trying to chain SOS mons for hidden abilities, it will never call for help, or fail if it tries

Yep, that'll happen. That's just the universe hating people, and wanting some conflict in there.
This is also why Adamantium Orbs come pretty cheap in Poke Marts.

Also, who else had significant trouble with that Vikavolt trial? I had a Fire starter, and it still OHKOed it with a boosted Spark. I won, but not without heavy casualties...

Not me: I used Toxic and turtled the entire fight (mainly because I had a damaged, un-optimised and low level team).

Lurantis on the other hand... When she called that Trumbeak with Rock Blast and Castform with Sunny Day, Water Gun and Weather Ball, and used that Power Herb, everything went downhill. Even when burned, she's still a KO machine (So much that I wanted on of my own). 7-8 KOs and many healing items later, I only just got out of there with two pokemon left. The combinations were just too good for me.

I sometimes question the difficulty of the game, although it might just be me and try to get more than 12 Pokemon up to par with my overleveled Starter (who with that fight beforehand only just take damage and tanked it).

I think I might get Pokémon Sun because it's got Vulpix and Ninetails in it (don't really care about the two different forms of Lycanroc). However, as I mostly play during the evening, I'll essentially always be catching Pokémon at night. Is that going to mean I'm essentially getting Pokémon Moon except without the version-exclusive Pokémon?

i.e. So what is up with the time-based mechanics? I know that one is time-shifted by 12 hours from the other but I don't know what that means in terms of gameplay.

It means little, other than that certain (early) pokemon can be found and evolve at certain times of real-time. With the Moon version, it just means, for example, that Yungoos will evolve at day in-game, even though it's (commonly) night real-time.

For you however, it means that you have to evolve some Pokemon at unusual times.
