It better fucking get Surf.

Also, while I like the form, I'd like another little stat boost for regular Chu. Make it more usable, but in a different way. Doubt that will happen.

What will base stat redistribution look like?

Hau has a regular Pichu

It'll evolve into regular Pikachu, then Alolan Raichu

Exeggcute doesn't have an Alolan form, because only one of Exeggutor's types changes. Raichu will be the same.

I think regular Pikachu might evolve into it while in Alola. Just like Exeggcute (and maybe Cubone?).

I really find it hard to imagine they would even touch Pikachu's design, and if they did, not start using it in all forms of marketing as soon as SM were revealed.

It seems that only Alola forms that completely change the pokémon's type (Sandshrew, Vulpix, Meowth, Marowak and their relatives) have regional variants for the entire evolutionary line, while pokémon that retain some of their types (Exeggutor and Raichu) have regional variants only for the final evolution.

Not necessarily. If they swap its speed and special attack (since Surge Surfer doubles speed in Electric Terrain), then it'll be a decent offensive presence.
Especially since Psyshock is practically guaranteed, and will give it physical coverage. Not to mention Surf is likely.

(Potentially) 110 Sp. Attack is nothing to sneeze at.

Until we see Cubone we can't be 100% sure, though the way Nintendo confirmed no Exeggcute change makes it likely. Kinda hoping Alolan Cubone is pure Fire and only gets spooky when it evolves.

Well, the Raichu line better pray it gets Elec Terrain by default, any any other non-Electrcic to get it, or you're basically stacking up on Ground weaknesses.

Assuming it keeps a base 90 SpA, though, I'm loving the possibilities:

252 SpA Life Orb Raichu Thunderbolt vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Aegislash-Shield in Electric Terrain: 242-286 (74.6 - 88.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery

If it is found in the majority of the world then it's the common/ regular version. Melemele Pikachu makes no sense whatsoever.
It's awfully clear that the Alolan forms are going to be the only ones you run into easily, and we know regular Pichu and Pikachu are common so they won't get Alolan formes.

Still, there's no way a Ground-type Cubone is going to evolve into a Fire/Ghost Marowak. Unless it gets a second method of evolution that involves burning it to death.

It probably learns Magnet Rise, so that will probably help. Not to mention all the scrubs who'll just assume it has Levitate.
