This video is where I take part in some lessons in the academy, and then interacting with the staff, as there isn't much progress I make in the main adventure, well other than getting some evolutions for some of my Pokémon.

As for the rest of the description, I recommend watching the full video before reading past this point of the description

I take part in some lessons, and there are some interesting moments in some of them, like for example, Jacq explain about Pokémon evolution, and he even hints to Primeape's evolution to Annihilape, which you have to use Rage Fist 20 times, but he gets interrupted by the bell before he can explain. There is Saguaro's lesson, where he almost comes close to mentioning Arven's name, even when Arven himself is present in class, and in Hassel's art class, Brassius is the guest, and we witness the emotional side of Hassel after hearing Brassius's story. I find it strange to see Penny attending the art class, as she has kind of a reclusive nature, and I never noticed the detail in Dendra's class where your partner is outside of your Poké Ball, but then again Dendra is usually accompanied by a Medicham whenever we take part in her Battle classes.
After all of that, I interact with the staff in the academy, and then show the Union Circle, and I did start up Pokémon Scarlet very recently, and I have uploaded the video showcasing version differences in the early game, the main reason for the Union Circle is to evolve Finizen into Palafin.
This is the right time to go over Palafin, while its appearance isn't much different to Finizen's, well aside from the heart marking, and Palafin might look underwhelming, almost as comparable to Lumineon in terms of stats, but you might notice it has an Ability called Zero to Hero, when Palafin switches out and then back in, it changes to its Hero Form, gaining a massive stat boost, it has base 160 Attack, and really good stats all-around, and its base stat total of 650 rivals even Legendary Pokémon. While it's almost the equivalent to Slaking in this generation, where Palafin's Zero Form has underwhelming stats, while its Hero Form has very high stats. Palafin's signature move is Jet Punch, it is a 60 Power Water-type move with priority, and it can learn Flip Turn, allowing Palafin to activate its Hero Form in battle, if you can put that to work, Palafin is a very reliable team member, this Pokémon even got banned in the competitive scene due to its massive Attack stat.
For trade evolutions, there are only three Pokémon, those three are Gengar, Scizor, and Slowking, while you can get a Gengar from an in-game trade at Levincia, I decided to evolve a Haunter so that I have Gengar in rotation.
I check out another part of West Province Area Three, and there are some Pokémon that you can encounter, like Jumpluff, Sawsbuck, and many other Pokémon, and I work on some evolutions, mostly those that evolve at around Level 38.
There were some evolutions where I had to hold off till they learned a move they would otherwise learn later, for some examples, Litleo learns Flamethrower at Level 36, while Pyroar learns it at Level 38. I even held off Glimmet's evolution till Level 37, this is because at Level 37, Glimmet learns Power Gem, otherwise it isn't until Level 39 it learns the move. I do like the design of Glimmet's evolved form Glimmora, it looks like a crystal flower, and it does have some kind of resemblance to Tera Jewels, and to craft more Tera Blast TMs, it requires Glimmet materials, and there is a place way later in the game you can find Glimmet more easily.
I evolve Tinkatuff into Tinkaton, and it learns its signature move Gigaton Hammer, this is a 160 Power Physcial Steel-type move, and that move cannot be used consecutively due to the massive power of that move, and Tinkaton has base 75 Attack, which does feel a bit average for a Pokémon carrying a massive hammer. One of its Pokédex Entries states that it hunts Corviknight by knocking rocks into the sky with its hammer in hopes of hitting any Corviknight flying, which explains why Corviknight, an unrivaled Pokémon in the Galar region, is no longer used for the Flying Taxi in Paldea, because its services would put customers in danger, and why Squawkabilly are used instead. Despite its Pokédex Entries, Corviknight resists Tinkaton's STAB moves, and Gigaton Hammer doesn't even come close to taking out Corviknight, and the best Tinkaton can do for damage is Stone Edge, but even then Corviknight can use Iron Defense and Body Press to deal huge damage to Tinkaton. Fairy/Steel is a good type combination defensively, and that type combo has had Pokémon that were very overpowered, even to the point they got banned.
