Note this thread is not asking Ame to include Gen 8 Pokemon but rather asking if she did add Gen 8 pokemon how would you alter the current gym leader/other character's lineups to include them. For me, I think Frosmoth would fit Sierra's team well especially with her son's interest in bug types. I'd also put either Galarian Rapidash or Hatterene in Adrienne's lineup. I'd also put a Toxtrcity on Aua's team or maybe DJ Archlight's. Finally, I'd put a Duraludon on Titania's team.

TT made a mistake in evolving his lotad so quickly he basically missed out on all of its decent grass moves. I also don't understand why he hasn't tried using his mareep.

I really think people overestimate how much time and effort people who are playing more casually are willing to put into the game, especially if they are just doing it as content for their youtube channels. Yes TT could be doing more and looking at the field effects or pulse readouts more, but at the same time is doing any differently than someone like Shofu? Shofu was really saved by playing early versions of the game at first so he could get mons like Gardevoir and Magarmar much earlier but he was even worse at putting effort into the game.
