Which of these two do you hate the least?
>>59387538I hate the Alolan faggot, HipHop has redeeming qualities
>>59387538Hop because he has way much better porn fanart than Hau. Hop also seems like he's got over his struggles faster than Hau.
>>59387538Hop since he’s an actual character
I don't hate either of them.I don't give a shit of either of them like, but I don't hate them at the same point. They exist, big whoop. So did other rivals and the earlier entries' rivals are more shallow and video gamey in stark contrast to the ethos and atmosphere of the games (which were presented as a snapshot in time of an existing living world).
>>59387538They're the same character
>>59387538i hate them both 100 out of 100
>>59388525I generally agree. Only one of Hau really comes to mind as being pretty good, but it also just so happens to include Hop, lol.
>>59387538I like Hop better but the Hau Champion fight is in my third favorite Champion battle after Steven and Cynthia. Conflicted.
>>59387538Hau is great, anyone who disagrees is a fag. His personality contrasts against Lillie's really well, and he sets the vibe for the whole Alola region.
>>59387538>Which of these two do you hate the least?Hau. He's better simply by virtue of not being a an invader. At least he's in his native land.
>>59387538Hop at least attempted to be a character with development. Hau is just DUDE MALASADAS LMAO>>59388525Hau had struggles?
>>59391015His granfather is the island kahuna and he keeps losing to his rival, eventually you also get Tapu Koko's attention and catch him or have to at least the privilege to battle him while Hau feels a little demotivated. Also his crush Lillie leaving Alola for a while back to Kanto or somewhere.
>>59391304>Hau feels a little demotivatedHe does?>his crush LillieOh, you're writing a fanfic. Wrong thread, buddy.
>>59387538Hau is such an inoffensive character, he basically just exists. I don't understand why people hate him so much.
>>59391552He has no personality other than "I'm nice" and "I love malasadas". He doesn't contribute to the story at all and isn't interesting to talk to, he just wastes your time whenever he shows up and talks about mindless drivel. It's not "inoffensive", if anything it's insulting to be subjected to such a shallow character.
>>59391560>shallow character>in a pokemon gameI'm shocked, shocked I say
I like both, but Hop is cuter.
>>59391532There are two endings depending on Alola game versions, one of them has Hau taking Lillie's decision to leave Alola very hard while Lillie simps for Elio and writes him a letter. Between SM and USUM there are two different canon stories with retcons and new additions for some reason, despite being overall the same same when it comes to their key parts.
>>59391574It's offensive because other characters in SM are nowhere near as shallow. Even minor NPCs have some depth, like Nanu or Plumeria. But Hau, your RIVAL, who should be one of the most fleshed out characters, has the depth of a puddle. That makes his shallowness all the more grating and unforgivable.The rivals in XY were all total dogshit too, but at least that's on par with the rest of the game. >>59391633ULTRA CHANGES actually made changes to Hau? Color me surprised.
>>59391690That's still Alola from the same Gen 7 era. Why the shock, also he still has a "deeper" personality than Barry let's say or whatever was the point of showing the other MC in Sinnoh as totally forgettable and ignored Rowan's assistant with a sibling, you ever see them if you casually visit a single small town.
I'm gonna be real with you, my mind kind of blurred these two characters into one entity and I can't remember which character had each distinct personality trait.
Hau was potentially more annoying but he was much less present.Hop fuckin' hijacks your big box legendary moments. Not cool.
>>59391878It's not a shock, dunno why you pretend it is. He's just annoying, which means he's not inoffensive.>But other characters from previous games were annoying too!And? Doesn't excuse any of them. It's just more jarring with Hau.
