When do I get an Andrenaline Orb?
I found one on Route 4
There's one on Route 4 and 8 I think, but you unlock the ability to buy them by the time you finish Akala I believe. I think they appear after finishing either Kiawe or Mallow's trial.
I found my first one before I even got to the second trial on the second island. They started being sold in shops a little later.

How's the level pacing?
Does it feel like a pretty even curve or any jumps in one gym being like Level 20 and the next being like 28?
Also...do you get Wimpod relatively early on? For some reason I reaally want to get it (whenever I get the game) but hope the team I want isn't reliant on a lot of late game pokes.

There are no gyms. The level curve has been steady so far.
Wimpod is available after the third trial.

Alright, thanks. So it looks like I'll have to complete the second island to buy them.

Island trials. You travel the world to complete various trials and at the end of each trial you fight a special boss Pokemon.

Trials and basically bosses (by another name). I think the trials are supposed to have quite a bit of gameplay variety so its not "Walk down some twisty/bendy corridors in a gym and fight the leader".

Hmm, just got a thunder stone. Trying to decide if I should evolve Pikachu now, or wait until level 42 for thunderbolt. The move re-learner is post game, right?
Does that mean we have to gain EVs the old fashioned way?

I think what makes it a story now could have been how you can't just save right before the choose your starter screen but have to save before a cutscene. I've always thought people SRing for shiny starters are unduly suffering (as masudamethod+shiny charm+breeding is far better odds) but it's one of those start of the gen things and Kotaku aims to get a story out every 30 minutes so there are going to be some regurgitated press releases or stories by twitter.
If the game had I don't know the ability to skip cutscenes it would be more acceptable to go for and the unskippable cutscenes don't just affect this but completely ruin speedrunning this game (I'm sure people will still run it but the result will be uninteresting to watch despite good strategies) and could make replays incredibly annoying as well and that is totally a criticism that should be addressed (but given the glacial pace of changes in Pokemon don't expect it soon).
Poke pelago which can give something like up to 4 EVs every 15 minutes to the up to 18 Pokemon training on that island. Festival plaza which if you get the right stand and keep it could max out two stats once a day.
But just like super training got quickly superseded by hordes, SoS chains (when a Pokemon calls for help) in optimal conditions (pokerus+power item) can have a stat EV maxed in about 8 KOs (ones in the SoS chain give double EVs and the power items give more EVs per Ko than before).
Yep. For whatever reason Beldum has a catch rate of 3.
Other things with the catch rate are like legendary Pokemon (but not the cover legendaries those always have a higher rate...i.e. that's why you don't use the master ball on the cover legendary).
Sleep gives better chance boost than paralyze (plus conserves PP of the enemy a bit better).
I guess the catch rate just stems from the fact that in Gen III it was a gift so the developer never foresaw it being in the wild so the rate didn't matter...then kept adding it to the wild in subsequent generations with no revision and still kept the only move it has as take down which they can KO themselves with
(a ghost type is a good counter).

Are there any performance benefits for playing on the New 3DS vs. OG?

There is a replacement for gyms, do not worry. It's good.

Oh Lycanroc learns Accelerock as soon as it evolves. That's really nice.
You only find the one, but I believe you can get more via Poke Pelago. Isle Aphun lv2 can give you evolutionary stones. I haven't tested it much, though.
Just wasted 6 Pokeballs and 4 Great Balls on a Paralyzed Misdreavus with 10% Hp. Fuck me that was annoying. I haven't seen all that many Alolan Pokemon honestly. Lots of plain old Gen 1 Pokemon like Drowzee and Ghastly so far, but I haven't made it that far into Route 2.
I was lucky enough to have no been spoiled on the Team Skull theme music. Nearly fell over laughing at that. It's nice that everyone in the game seems to be on the same page when it comes to them, i.e. everyone knows they ain't shit.

I see, I hope we can get more, otherwise it would suck.

Much better framerate.

I absolutely love it. It can turn a simple wild encounter into a challenge if you're caught unprepared and try to push your luck. I've fallen victim to the enemies pulling off combos a few times already. The worst was two Spearows using Leer followed by a 5-hit Fury Attack. Grimer didn't live through that one.
I imagine SOS encounters are going to be the death of many Nuzlocke runs.

Mudbray is a beast and will be essential all the way through. I was surprised at that. Even more suprising is how useless Golisopod is. That was disappointing. Mudsdale and Tsareena ended up carrying my useless starter (Incineroar) and the rest through the game. Every second pokemon knowing a water or fighting move + extremely low speed = one dead Incineroar.
Although I did appreciate that all of my pokemon being so slow gave me an extra challenge - I'm totally unused to the AI in the main story getting to go first all the time.
I thought it was hugely disappointing. If you hold on I'll type out my thoughts and convince you not to buy it, lol. Give me a few minutes.
I'm actually pretty shocked at the reception it has gotten. It's like the anti Skyward Sword for me. That was a game I thought everyone would adore, and people hated it. Here, it's the reverse. I'll get to typing my impressions.

Playing with EXPShare off and set battle, still not finding much challenge after beating the first island. This game is so much fun though. Love Alola as a region.
Have you fought the second totem Pokemon yet?

The hell are they wearing?
The challenge is only in the major battles (totems and major characters), but at least those ARE a challenge where they used not to be.
I played with exp share off during the first island as well, and found that I was quickly outlevelled and that the game is balanced for it, and turned it back on.
I was also nuzlocking, and died (ended my run) at the 4th totem battle. From that point on I played full strength with my best pokemon, and STILL got wiped another 7 times during the main game and postgame story, which is about 8 times more than I usually wipe during a pokemon game.
Depending on your pokemon team some totems will be easy, 1HKOs and others will require serious strategy or some grinding. For me,

yeah, the second island totems are much, much more difficult than the first island stuff.
