Hop is a well-written rival.
>>57172429only good thing about swsh, agreed
the only thing this website offers anymore is weird porn and inflammatory posts that you would expect to see on platforms that pay you for engagement farming
>>57172429kieran if he didn’t go completely ballistic
>>57172851it used to be that the standard response to something like this is "OP is a fag" but then teh 4chinz got flooded by actual fags so it stopped being an effective response
>>57172429He's ok. I think quitting the league could have been framed better because it makes him look like an entitled faggot rather than someone finding a career he enjoys more. Hop is seen as a friendly rival but I would not want to be friends with this guy, he's really snobbish and it's hardly addressed.
>>57172429Comparatively, yes. Way better than May and Serena, and even Marnie.
>>57172429I like him. He actually grows as a character. >>57173010I didn't get that vibe of entitlement at all. He came across as someone that realized early on he's not going to make it as a trainer if he can't handle losses well, instead of stubbornly following in not just his brother's shadow but now your shadow too. He sought what made him happy, not what was expected of him but that made him unhappy.
>>57172429He is good. But I wish he was a pokemon ranger instead of a professor. He fits that role better
>>57172429he is brown
>>57172429He’s not a cardboard cut out for pedophiles or an asshole kid so he’s le bad
>>57173017>and even Marnie>evenYou say it as if she is worthy a contender. Marnie is barely a character.
>>57174339Him wanting to become a professor really came out of the left field to the point that i think he mainly did it so that he can be Sonia 24/7 as her assistant.
>>57174345And he is brown just like you
>>57174380I’m not but keep seething
>>57172429I hate this faggot I chose shield so his final battle was him using this faggot sword dog and destroying my team. All my friends chose sword and didn't have this issue because shield dog sucks.
>>57174432Skill issue
>>57174444I had a lot of steel weakness and had to change my team, never felt so humiliated than an in game fight actually making me do that before.
>>57173010>>57173027He gave up the second his dream wasn't fully realized despite the fact he a)made it retardedly far in the first try(got to be a champion contender despite most people not getting past the first 3 gyms) and b)knowing full well Raihan had way more tries and still didn't give up.
>>57174454yeah but pokemon battling never really made him particularly happy in the first place, he mostly just did it in obligation because of his older brother. he probably thought it was his dream to become champion inside his head but when he actually tried doing it, it wasn’t actually something he got enjoyment from doing. he was miserable for like half of the time on the way to becoming champion so why try to force it to be his job in the future?
>>57172429and a good husband!
>>57174541That's not how it is portrayed at all. In fact, he still does battle after become a researcher.
>>57174382Post hand
>>57174541So he's copying Bianca's character arc badly?
>>57172429Haven't even bothered with any mainline game after Sun/Moon so idc
>>57172429said nobody
>>57174615So you can find some other excuse?
>>57174686nta, but I don't see why you don't like brown characters, I mean there are many attractive brown pokegirls who are even more interesting than just because of their appearance, Hop is a bit cringey but it's not unbearable.
>>57174541Holy fanfic.
>>57172429No.
bvmp
>>57172429hop is discount hau
>>57178593name 3 things they have in common that aren't the animations
>>57178606they both have three letters in their nameboth names start with hthey are your rival
>>57178593>hop is discount hauLiterally how?
>>57178637hau came first
you mean to tell me you guys didn't just mash A through the swsh dialogue?
>>57178666the game is already shorter than the past, what's the point in skipping the dialogue? even if the story sucks i mean
>>57174776Cool story bro
>>57173010Because you crushed his fighting spirit and he wasn't able to win a battle alone ever again
i remember hop being super patronizing>"WHOA HOLY SHIT YOU KNEW MY POKEMONS WEAKNESS. WE GOT OURSELVES A MASTER OVER HERE LADIES AND GENTLEMAN."
>>57172429People hate on him because he bothers the player and is "annoying", but Nemona literally does the same shit if not worse and she gets the pass.
>>57172429The only good thing about Hop is that I get to cuck him by stealing his dream for myself.
