They definitely decided to make getting HAs a massive pain in the ass...
They're called "Hidden" Abilities because you -have- to work your rear off for them.
Gen5 introduced them, and they were inaccessible in that generation without online access, Gen6 made them super easy to get but still required Player-to-player connections, and don't get me started on how so many people were hurting for certain safaris!
Now We have the ability to get any Alolan/Gen7 Hidden Ability in-game without having to use Web-connection(Gen5) or exchanging Friend Codes(gen6). But we have to put Effort in.
So honestly, this is better than not having access to them at all, and thus makes them have that much more Value!
(heh, Put in Effort to gain Value: I see what I did there, even though i didn't mean to do it!)

Though I'll be honest, I find Gen7's pokemon HAs to be rather lacking, maybe 6 pokemon intro'ed in Gen7(including Alolan Forms) make best use of the HAs.

Spoiler: maybe? it talks about the legendaries dex entries (click to show/hide)

Actually on that thought is this gen the only one with implied genders for the legendaries?  I can't think of another example.
Genders for legendaries, implied or actual is nothing new
Latios is Male and Latias Is female. Heatran can be either.
As for why the dex entries are as-is...

Some of my other nic-names are from completley non-canon observations:
Kids' WB had pokemon for a few seasons way back when and they had a little cropped comercial where a Scizor crushed one of Ash's pokeballs with a single claw...hence:
Crush the Scizor (Defensive Mega-Scizor Build.)

there's also my nic-names for the Starter Monkeys: gender+Hair-style
Sis Bob - Female Simipour (as in bob-cut style hair)
Bro Toupee -Simisage (Nuff said, that brocoli turning into a toupee is just...WHAT)
Bro Hawk - Simisear (plays on Fauxhawk and Mohawk both, honestly I was outta ideas)
--it's not really canon they are siblings or have these hairstyles, but that's what I thought of when i saw them.

And Finally Carbo the Torterra - name was inspired by a Boss-class Turtle-type foe in FF12.
(and I also have Timid Turtwig named TeenyCarbo, which is not much more than a pet but still...)

Going on the Pokemon-Nicnames topic, Oh heavens yes I nicname my pokemon! And i always try to find the right name before catching the Pokemon.
since i name almost all my pokemon i'll just point out a few of my unconventional names.
Valentine - CHarizard (based on a dream about a dragon I bonded with, dragon looked the Charizard had a baby with DBZ's dragon and was "hatched" on Valentine's)
Reign - Kyogre (chosen back during DPPt days, I acquired a Quiet SPATK-31 Kyorge in Sapphire, named it Reign as a Play on words "Slow Reign of terror//Rain of Terror" Drizzle ability+raw power&no speed)
Bowen - Gallade (really a random name I heard in a tv show and liked, for some reason I thought it fit my Gallade)
Renée - Gardevoir (Another Random choice, but this time going with a Feminine name that doesn't have a feminine Meaning.)


That Mall...Seriously I'm pretty much near the end of the Island Challenge and it was so unseeable a mall, that I didn't find it until someone pointed it out in a video on Youtube!

And about the plot of SuMo:

Team Rocket complaining about these new teams.
Normally I don't care for game-based live-acted fan skits such as these but I gotta give this a: 100% TWO THUMBS WAY-WAY UP(ON FIRE MODE!)
I would love to see a new generation bring back Team Rocket as the primary villains.

But if they hate each other, that implies...some unpleasant things about the nature of the produced egg :/

* Sirus wonders if keeping pokemon in the same party for awhile will make them like each other more
Same species same Id number = normal egg chance over set distance traveled in-game
Same Species Different IDs = Highest chance of Egg over same in-game distance.

Different Species, Same IDno. is Low chance, ((the message is soemthing like dont seem to like each other much, "dont like" and "hate" are not the same meaning)
Different Species with different IDno.s is normal chance.

If the two don't have a matching egg group. it kills all chances.
Ie: Bagon and Deino are in Dragon, and Charizard is in dragon too, however Charizard also is in two egg groups, the other being Monster.
---Charizard can thus breed perfectly, as drago nis shared. Dut Dragon-egg-group can't breed with Monster-egg-group, without sharing Drag/or/Mons.

So yes, Deino and Bagon can breed as they're both in the same egg group, but it'll take a while of actual gameplay for the egg to spawn.

I have both versions, and I don't mind the timeshift either, Though it can screw with finding the right pokemon(Trump and Faticate) but seriously Gamefreak can we get Cloudy-day/Overcast-style lighting in some of these games without it being rainy?
DPPt's forest-area before the city with the second badge, but a smidge(or two) brighter is how it could look.

I know Tropical Islands don't usually get that sort of weather, and Sun as a theme implies Sunny-all-around, but even so Cloudy/Overcast days are my absolute favorite IRL, especially when only a few sun-rays peek through but strongly enough you can see their beams clearly.

Btw Solgaleo is certainly my favorite Legendary this Generation...

Eh I don't care about the options to set as your secret so much as the lack of expression on the Players' faces when their secret is "I'm actually a #" when # is not the sex their avatar is.
I chose "I feel like a Girl" due to being genderfluid, and in-game I'm playing as a male-protag.
Don't get me wrong though, this shows great, albeit super-subtle acceptance for the Non-binary players, on the other-hand, it can spook some of the younger players.

I just need my dye shops and I'll be good-to-go, Dyes and GTS are the only thing Festival Plaza has going for me, and even then i may already be done using GTS.

Also I tried the in-game Battle Royal(i needed to get BP) and I've gotta say this:
I'm warming up to them, but seriously when  three pokemon tag-team your team 3 times in a row to KO you, it's pretty soul-crushing.
At least you get 1bp for participation. Thus scoring the power items is only a matter of determination and Time.

All in all, I hate the very fact they use those barricades at all, Earlier Generations never used Man-made barriers to anywehre near this extent.
And as this is the Pokemon+Humans together Generation, it's way outta theme.

My progress has been Slow. I chose Rowlet, which has been both Boon and Bane.(Seems to me Poplio is most Ideal for easy-mode starter.) I have also been semi-powering through, to gain access to Clothing Shops, but I'm almost always 2 or 3 levels above my foes, yet somehow, their 1st 2 Attacks do 12 to 14 dmg, then their third use of the exact same move does OHKO level damage and only that first use of said attack was critical. WTH Pokemon?.
---However I've had this happen both being attacked and attacking them. (And my Rowlet's Refresh affection has saved my scalp from going bald a few times.)

The only real thing bothering me: How exactly do you set up a Dye-Shop in the Festival Plaza. As of this Post I'm Plaza level 7, and all I can do is re-arrange what I have set up and wait for level-ups and hope Game-BOI guy gives me a Dye Shop.
And even then I pray it's the right colors: I need Red, Pink and Purple Dyes.

Pretty much the only time I gender-farm (is that the actual term?) is when a certain evolution is gender-limited. Like how only male Kirlias can become Gallade, or only female Combee can become Vespequin.
I don't necessarily "know" that's the term, but it's the only way I could think of saying it.
I'm usually lax about it myself but Starters are always the exception, as is anything I want a set-gender for and the one i want is a 12.5% ratio, as all female starters are.

Friends together in a private chat server while we talk about or beginning pokemon adventures:
Quote
Professor: "Having accepted each other you will surely be friends for life would you like to give rowlet a nickname?"
*immediately flips rowlet over and checks nether reigons* *frowns* *drops rowlet on it's head* *hits the reset button*
"Hoot"
"Hooooooooooot *klunk*"
Professor: "He-he disappeared."

EDIT: There you go solid proof pokemon promotes sexism.
In my case I simply have a perfect name for a female Rowlet, and while yeah I know I can just hatch one later using a male and a Ditto, I want starter-loyalty with her.
Of course I admit that I do this every generation regardless, lol. But this time it has 3x the normal meaning.
Aside from that and 2 others (Bewear and Lycanroc), I'm not gender-farming any 7th gen Pokemon, and those other two are 50/50 gender ratios, so yeah.
At least since I have both versions I can get my Female Rowlet and start the actual game proper. and use my sopare copy to farm the other two fem starters.

I'll probably be getting Rowlett. I'm not sure what a grass/ghost typing will bring to the table (other than more weaknesses, which kinda sucks), but I can't say no to an owl-archer.

Cosmog looks awesome. I will catch a male and name it Lovecraft.

I also dig the guardian pokemon. Though I saw 4 islands and only saw 3 guardians in the video...
there's four, All pokemon with Tapu in their name, Tapu Koko Elec/Fairy, and direct cut/paste from Serebii:
Tapu Lele which is Psychic/Fairy with the ability Psychic Surge. Tapu Bulu which is Grass/Fairy with Grassy Surge and Tapu Fini which is Water/Fairy with Misty Surge. Each of these set their respective Terrains. Psychic Terrain prevents Priority Moves being used. They have their unique Z-Move, Guardian of Alola

Edit:In their reveal, around 1:27 timestamp, it shows all the tapu pokemon over thier islands, but with only Koko colored in, and the others as silhouettes before naming them.

As for Decidueye or Incineroar, I'm still going to get Decidueye as my Loyal-Stater, but now I need to get all three, Fairy-collecter in me demands Primarina I like the 3d movement they rigged into Incinceroar and Decidueye is just awesome, though Incineroar and Decidueye are more to my liking and close to a tie now that I've seen El Blaze(Lol) moving in-game.
