Hugh from Pokemon BW2 is one of the best rivals in the series. He has that aggressive, competitive edge to his character, always battling you explicitly because he wants to see how strong you've become. Not a pushover friend like modern rivals, not a jackass like Blue or Silver either. I also liked his whole obsession with beating Team Plasma members to get his sister's Purrloin back.Hugh is also chad as fuck because at one point he straight up doesn't even want the pretense of Pokemon battles with Team Plasma, he flat out decks one. Hugh is the best "friend" type of rival Pokemon's ever had. At some points he's behind you, at some points he's ahead of you. He doesn't pull his punches with you, but also enjoys seeing you grow stronger, and his trust in you is unwavering. During the breach of the Plasma Frigate at one point, he straight up tells you to back him up, and there are multiple instances of you and Hugh entering double battles against Team Plasma together.And the final battle against him is perfect. Hugh shows up at the end of Victory Road, his arc with Team Plasma having already been complete. But he didn't just go home, he finished challenging the Gyms and now he wants to see the culmination of your own journey. A small detail that also makes him a chad is his sheer love and trust for his own team. When you attack his starter in the first rival battle, he says "I'll never forget the pain you put my partner through."TL;DR: I'm tired of the Hugh slander. He's the best rival in the entire series.
Kino rival, kino game.

First Anniversary Edition!Previous >>59437126>FAQ>What is this?People are turning into Pokemon in the real world. Some are having the time of their lives, and some are struggling to survive. These are their stories.>How do I join?Just start posting.>What's the lore?People and animals (and at least one tree) are changing at random in their sleep, waking up still in the real world, but now as Pokemon, and nobody knows why (that includes you. Please don't try to explain it). Just enough transformations are occurring to notably change day-to-day life without collapsing civilization. This is not the apocalypse, even if it might feel like it to some characters in the moment. Some people are more in touch with their instincts than others, and some have lost more of their humanity than others. That's about it. Avoid legendaries if possible.>What the Hell is PIPS?In many of the stories, the scientific community in-universe has begun referring to Pokemon instincts and the loss of humanity some people who transform experience as Pokémon Induced Psychosis Syndrome, or PIPS. The term is explained in more detail here: https://rentry.org/sip-concepts
>>59573641I don't even need to comment on this first part. Everything from the inciting incident to the constant micro-considerations (it's good that he constantly has flight on his mind these days, at any rate) to "late for being early" is all just quintessentially Prof, and we all know how much we enjoy this guy's nerdy mundanity by this point.Welp, Prof may not having any bird instincts, but he does have human instincts. Once in a blue moon. But I can't help be immensely curious what those two wanted him to sit down for exactly...I guess the TA didn't take "time to lean, time to clean" to heart. :^)Kartanon is such a class act. Do the head movements count as bird instinct, do we think? Probably not, but it's a straw I'll happily grasp at anyway... Heh, not one to let people annoy you into not pursuing the things you gotta pursue, are you, Prof? I respect it.>it’s too early in the semester to be needing a vacationNone-the-less, might I recommend Las Vegas?Heheh. Borb. I gotta wonder, though, if Prof HADN'T been late, how exactly were they planning on keeping him distracted for another half-an-hour or however long? N'aww, so wholesome! And really reflects just what a rarity Prof is in his neck of the woods. Oh that we could all genuinely love our jobs as this man we have beheld does...Comment too long.

>>59582921>But I can't help be immensely curious what those two wanted him to sit down for exactly...I tried to imply that they and Cassandra were texting each other and the people in the room in order to stall the Professor from ruining the surprise.>Kartanon is such a class actAbsolutely. Having art work is such a blessing.>might I recommend Las VegasThere was a teaching convention on the calendar mentioned earlier…>pin a person's shadow in place to immobilize themSounds wonderfully spooky! Even if not exactly practical. You can’t exactly detain a student unless you have a really good reason.

THE KING OF KINGS
>>59575257Seeking personal purpose is inherently unfulfilling. Propping up some ideal or another of my own does nothing to mitigate the fact that its pursuit would be fundamentally the same as pursuing any other self-interest. Humans are a social species, we seek personal fulfillment from external sources because we have a natural in-built understanding of the fact that we, as individuals, are incomplete by ourselves. Given this understanding, it is human nature to dedicate ourselves to some cause larger than ourselves that we find worthy of our lives, something greater in value than the whole of our parts. And those throughout history who sought such things in earnest have invariably been brought to the pursuit of the divine, something which itself has found its absolute realization in the life of Jesus Christ, the pinnacle of human-being in his very essence. There is no truer, more ever-lasting, more fulfilling purpose for any man than that which is gained through giving oneself - body, mind, and soul - over to the one who has done the same for him; Jesus Christ, King of Kings, both Lion and Lamb, and the eternal saviour of us all. Come home, brother.
>>59583483me when I double down and lie to myself and others
would you look at that?
>>59583538Look if you don't wanna actually engage with what I said thats fine, this isnt the place to come for intellectual discussion or anything, especially not this board.But surely even you see the irony of accusing others of coping and lying when youre the one with nothing meaningful to say on the matter. If you think Christians are a bunch of gullible idiots that's your prerogative, but if youre gonna express that view to others who disagree then actually substantiate it, otherwise youre just making your view and those who share it look like thoughtless morons
