And it was one Clefairy more than necessary to give players PTSD.

Nope. Leader 3's Ace got one-shotted lmao.
I believe the Perfect Gym Leader Pokemon distribution is 3 for Gym 1 And 2, 4 for Gyms 3-7 and 5 for Gym 8 (as the strongest one and to prepare us for Elite Four.
Emerald was the closest ever to that.

We won't know until we get its full movepool, but it seems like a fast physical Fire-type with some good coverage options. It will probably get some Fighting coverage in addition to what we've seen. Pyro Ball is a fantastic move, it's as strong as Flare Blitz but the lack of recoil means that Cinderace can actually abuse Blaze without KOing itself, and the Burn chance makes it risky for checks like Gyarados and Tyranitar to switch into.
If it gets some good utility options like Fake Out, U-turn, Baton Pass etc. I could see it being quite decent, at least in the Galar-dex only formats.
It would certainly open up the door for non-linear design, but the entire game needn't be nonlinear. For example, you might have to beat the first three gyms into order to gain access to the next four, then beat those four to gain access to the final gym.
Hollow Knight has a few bosses that get health boosts depending on how many times you've upgraded your weapon. I've also heard that Breath of Wild causes regular enemies to get stronger as you progress.
Hop's battle right before the 4th Gym has his ace at lv. 33
I'm honestly liking the level curve for this game so far. Even with the streamer blatantly overleveling the starter, the progression seems good. I think a 6 mon-team should be fine tbh.
Toxel evolves into Toxitricity at Lv. 30. Learns Spark on Evo. Streamer got Low Key (Purple) form.
Can you post his Team at that point?
Didn't quite memorize it. I remember Toxel and Cramorant besides Raboot.
Getting online to trade or download event Pokemon used to be free and now won't be.
The move could just have higher base power and/or be a spread attack. Even without it, the side effect is most likely better in doubles since there will be a lot of options for getting rid of Sunny Day, but the G-Max move is guaranteed to set up some pretty good damage over time with just one use.
Event downloading may not be- There's plenty of games that receive updates/new content without the need for nintendo online
Wouldn't you need to pay for online to battle with other players anyway?
Yes, all part of how the game is becoming more pay-to-win and how it will be much more expensive for less content than before.
Did Unfezant get any buffs? Since they chose it over Staraptor and Talonflame, I was wondering if they were going to give it some stat increases and moveset changes.

No idea of what Machamp's G-Max Move is.

The AI is quite possibly the worst I've ever seen.
3 turns of Max Moves. Not a single STAB. Even on neutral matchups.
Before the DS you needed to pay for the cables to be able to trade too, you know, and nothing guarantees that Mystery Gift also requires an online subscription (not to mention the local distribution and local trades)
That would be pay-to-play. If you need to pay to even play the game (online) and pay no more than that to do anything else, that's just pay to play. Pay-to-win means paying more money to give you higher chance of winning.

TM56 is U-Turn and TM21 is Rest. Rock Blast amd Tri Attack is a TM too, just saw it in the bag.
U-Turn TM is good. Was worried about it getting nerfed to TR.
5th Gym Time.

G-Max Finale seems to heal 20% regardless of damage.
Can't vouch for the AI, but the Alcremie set looks pretty good.
Edit: Nvm, AI is pretty derpy.
Edit: Sorry for all the edits. TM Reward is Draining Kiss.
Wack af since you get the Dazzling Gleam TM waaaaaay earlier.

I'm going to guess it changes forms when using Overdrive.
Hopefully a better selection of physical moves, its level-up movepool is pretty dire.
So do we know 100% that alola forms are in the game, or is that just a supposition based on the normal forms being present?
Guess. Haven't seen one on stream either.
Corvisquire evolves at Lv. 38. Steel Wing on evo.
