Is he really the worst rival?
>>57236667He’s not even the worst rival from his game
We have this thread every week
>>57236667No. He’s just the one with the most missed opportunities because SwSh’s writing is such shit
>>57236710This. Nobody hates him more than the writers do and I genuinely can't fathom why>>57236671Who would you say is? Bede's kinda funny and Marnie barely exists.
>>57236667>Is he really the worst rival?People say this when Trace exist in the same fucking gen.
>>57236728no one remembers this nigga exists
>>57236728>dollar store feel good BlueHe’s certainly more forgettable than Hop
>>57236667nah. He's Hau but better. So by default, not great but still better than Hau
>>57236740Hau and his embarrassing shitmon team would still piss all over Hopgupta, saar.
>>57236727Marnie without a doubt.
>>57236826kys srsly
>>57236838You first
>>57236826Fair enough, I wasn't expecting to care about her at all but I ended up kinda liking her in the end if only because she stays in her lane while everyone else got the shit end of the stick and embarassed themselves every time they were on screen.Seriously I wanna study the SWSH writers in a lab. My previous floor was XY in terms of bad phoned in stories but SWSH went out of its way to shit on absolutely anything interesting it could have done or involved the player in. its so bizarre.
>>57236838Describe Marnie's personality right now.
>>57236890In love with fat old men
>>57236728Honestly I like how they tied him to Cubone stuff. He still sucked ass but at least had one good moment.
>>57236894Holy based!! Maybe we all misjudged Marnie no one who loves fat men so much can be that bad.
>>57236667No, Hau is worse. At least they tried something with Hop. Hau has literally no development, he's just a generic friendly "chill guy" who is your rival for some fucking reason.

>>57238136>Klara in S when Avery is in B>fuckin May in ANow do one without thinking with your dick.
>>57238173Klara is in S because she's a cheating bitch with a meanstreak and Avery is a pompus fag. I like rivals with a bit of edge.
Hop on my ____
>>57236667Hop is good rival. The worst is XY rivals(except shauna)
>>57238136>>all the faggots, the disgusting shit known as N so high.You are clearly a homosexual man who has already suffered an STD
>>57238185Avery is a cheating bitch (male) too. And you still didn't explain why May is in A.
>>57238185Then switch Bede and Marnie.
>>57238136Sorted by how much I want to fuck them
>>57238238>I LOVE BEING A CONTRARIAN!!!
>>57238136
>>57238684>*Will stab you for fun*
>>57237924>Hau has literally no developmentYou didnt play the game
>>57238136>>57238684I ordered them by blood pressure
>>57238708nta but yeah he does have some development, just not as fleshed out as the others. solid B tier imo
>>57236728non canon slop
>>57238626Why do you hate brown boys anon?
>>57238684Nemona would never stab anyone. Also Avery would definitely stab you but he'd use his psychic powers to do so.
>>57238689this nigga looks like that psychopath from Tokyo Revengers
>>57238713Fucking kek
>>57238708I didn't play USUM if you mean that, I did play SM and he did literally nothing except "dude malasadas lmao"
>>57238727Avery would stab if needed but he strikes me as mischievous rather than malicious. Nemona on the other hand is obviously unhinged and probably would've gotten stabby if the player could refuse to be her rival.
>>57238740Nemona isn't unhinged, she's just autistic and overly enthusiastic about battling. But she's very sweet and doesn't want to hurt anyone.
>>57238727>>57238744If anything she would accidentally STAB someone.
>>57238744You're entitled to your views but I'm far from the only one that thinks she's a psycho.
>>57238725I also noticed that when I was making the list. It's actually pure coincidence, it's their personality I find offputting not the skin tone. Personality is one of the most important aspects when it comes to how attractive I find someone. Although now that I'm thinking about it I should've put Brendan on a higher tier, he's hot but as a rival he's so boring that it downgrades his fuckability a lot. Granted that I never played ORAS, he's probably better there than in RSE?
>>57238755Kek, true.>>57238765Only people who didn't play the game and only saw "le yandere" memes think she's a psycho. She's a really friendly person.
>>57238768>he's probably better there than in RSE?nah, he just has an additional scene at the end but it's still boring af
>>57238775Oh wtf. Does he at least fully evolve his goddamn starter? That always pissed me off
>>57238773Obviously I hit a nerve lol. Don't take it so seriously.. I don't even know what a yandere is..
>>57238788Yeah, it's really annoying me that people who didn't play the game mischaracterise her so hard and slap a meme personality on her.A yandere is the type of insane and jealous girl who is so obsessed with you that she would kill others (or you) so one one else can be with you. She's nothing like that. Arven is way more yandere than her.
>>57238768Ahh, I get it. I dunno I thought Hop was sweet, and Hau was funny, but spoke wayyy too much!
>>57236667Depends on whether you know about type advantages
>>57238803With Hop, I was mostly disappointed with how quickly his story ended. I liked that he got frustrated with not being able to win, changed his team a lot etc. but then he suddenly just kinda shrugs and gives up. It's probably due to time constraints since every single story aspect in SwSh screams unfinished. But yeah, my dislike stems mostly from his wasted potential. Kieran did what Hop tried but a million times better.I also don't really like his hair, it looks kinda dumb. Plus he absolutely cannot compete with Leon, who is basically Hop but hotter.Hau really needs to shut the hell up about his malasadas or whatever. He doesn't really do anything. But for some reason he looks great in art where people draw him older, no clue why.
>>57238801Autism
>>57238781luckily yeshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9UonseBOco
>>57238860>caring about canon is now autismOk.
>>57236667It's less him and how half-assed the story at large is. The rivals in gens 7 and 9 are tied into the plot pretty cleanly.If anything, it's more annoying how many times you battle him. What was it, like 12 different encounters? That's how little content this game had, I guess.
Where did Kieran succeed with fangirls where Hop failed? They're both huge losers.
>>57240485Kieran is a helpless cutesy uwu yokel that overcompensates for it until you kick him back down. Hop is bipolar and either hyper or miserable.
>>57240485Hop:>"I can't beat you, I need to get stronger!">*gives the fuck up*Kieran>"I can't beat you, I need to get stronger!">*becomes the champ, is one of the most challenging fights in the entire series*Did you even play the fucking games broIt also helps that Kieran is cute and white Japs are white in anime shut up whole Hop is kinda ugly and brown
>>57240485Girls love psychos
>>57240855>HopNice guy that gets shafted constantly.>KieranShota that gets broken and fixed by (you).
>>57241188Damn, I like them..
>>57240855>*becomes the champUh you mean>"EX CHAMPION"He gets cucked and laughed at in front of his peers. The game openly takes pleasure in his failure.
>>57238873Being this upset about a joke about a cartoon girl is autism yes.
>>57240485Hops gave up, Kieran went insane and fought against his cuck's fate to the bitter end, only giving up after literally putting all the region in danger.
>>57241378>cuck cuck cuck cuck cuck cuck Yawn, he was just devo that he lost to you again.
>>57236667hop would be a top tier rival if it wasn’t because of swsh idiotic writing. his message is interesting but the execution is awful. Most importantly he should’ve been a pokemon ranger at the end
>>57240485I mean, yume girls love Hop as well. One of the most popular ships in SS (if not the most popular) is Gloria x Hop
>>57241464Same as Goh, cool Pokeboy, but basically just used as an add for Pokemon Go for the whole series. Why does Pokemon hate browns?
>>57237924Hau is literally the stand in Champion battle in Ultra Sun
>>57238689I liked beating this overconfident bitch into the ground.
>>57241497And that infuriated me to not end, I really liked how Kukui was the last challenge before becoming the first champion and in USUM he was cucked by the malasada faggot? This together with how they ruined Lusamine's cool story are the reasons why I skipped USUM.
>>57236667Trace is
>>57236728>player character sama, I know you are much better than me, please let me go to the league first.. pretty please..
>>57238136I love Bianca but her slowly realizing throughout BW that she'll never be as good as (You) and Cheren no matter how hard she tried was fucking depressing, it hit hard for some reason playing years ago. Glad she had a good ending in BW2.
>>57241529I think Bianca realises wanting to be a researcher within Black, although I might be remembering wrong
I remember that in gen 7 there were two moments where you could tell Hau off and only in those moments he breaks his stupid "always annoyingly happy" face and put a very glorious to see "annoyed face". Yeah, faggot, that is how I always feel whenever you talk, suffer my pain.
>>57241510>Overconfident You weren't paying attention
>>57241476Marnieflop KEK
>>57238720Every game is canon. It was a mutiverse since start
>>57241476YURIxisters..
>>57236667>spends the whole game trying to be buddies with you, which would be fine if he wasn't also dickriding Leon constantly and comparing himself to him>succumbs to being second place and just says "haha well I guess I'm bad at battling" rather than actually trying with his final team and roster of actually decently capable pokemon>doesn't realize his issue is that his mon have zero synergy in movesets and, again, succumbs to being second placeHe's such a bitch. But it's better than your entire personality being "I'm a little girl and I train Dark types"
Silver>loses>stop winning you weakling>this is why I hate weaklings
>>57241476Damn, Hop kun is popular than I thought!
