A child is disowned by his father figure, and he feels very betrayed and hurt by this. We find out later that his father figure was using him for his own gain the entire time.

When Pokémon are gigantamaxed, it makes them angry and go berserk. The character Piers is uncomfortable by this and refuses to gigantamax his Pokémon, but the Pokémon themselves seem fine with it.

You can make curry with many types of ingredients, including a few that are made from Pokémon. You can then feed the curry to your Pokémon, even if one of your Pokémon is the same species as the meat used in the curry.

No, but a main character essentially has an anxiety spiral throughout the plot which involves a lot of self hatred. I don't think it'd be too upsetting for a kid to see, but this game is fairly realistic in its portrayal of depression and self-confidence issues. While it is implied that the character is improving by the end of the game, it is never fully resolved.

I mean, in England, 'fairy' is sometimes a derogatory term for a gay man, but it's obvious that it's not used that way here.

No, and I believe this is the first mainline pokemon game with multiple minor fat characters! None are treated poorly for their bodies (though I think there are still a few trainer classes which act silly and are only made up of larger character models).
