>And the “rivals” in XY?
the only rival in XY was serena/calem and they were written better than hugh
in fact they're the only thing XY has over BW2 as games
Barry went through the character development of watching his Munchlax job to some Bronzors, so he sprinted all across Sinnoh to artificially raise its happiness so it would stop being a useless shitter.
>silver keeps on using the same pokemon he calls weak and blames for his losses over and over >hop, after losing, swaps out his pokemon including his original partner for stronger ones in his self-doubt before returning to his original pokemon later on when he accepts himself
By your logic Silver is the worst and Hop is the best
>There's nothing wrong about Hop? He's basically an improved Hau.
the only thing you hopgays ever have to say about him is "he caught a legendary!" who cares if he got a legendary that doesn't excuse him being an annoying little worm for 99.9% of the game. hop is like a yeast roll like yeah it's serviceable but you aren't gonna like it, hau is a Hawaiian roll it's just the right amount of sweet and soft it's not overbearing like the yeast roll
I can't believe that was a core plot for like literally the entire game. "A sister's purrloin" feels like a minor side quest that would be resolved in between gym badges in another game
He was barely a rival, I fought with him more often than against him. Which I didn't mind I guess, it was a change of pace after getting raped by cheren every 5 seconds in BW1. I'm guessing they did it that way on purpose, because they wanted to differentiate BW2 from BW1 as much as possible.
it was his grandfathers last gift to his younger sister so I get why hes so fixated on it
I just wish he didnt have the worst catchphrase in the world or be the main driving force for you to interact with team plasma after the last game
>only got his moronic mindbroken cat because of the player despite his hate boner for Team Plasma >just fricking darts off in said direction of Plasma activity and you 9 out of 10 times have to go after him to join him on his hate boner quest >all he does is fight plasma grunts with that use the same 5 fricking shitmons the entire game as if that required more than a working braincell >speaking of that moronic mindbroken cat he didn't even fricking fight the guy who HAD it that was just dumped on you to do >all that fricking buildup and constantly saying "IM ABOUT TO UNLEASH MY RAGE" and all he does at the end of it all is just stares at muh stolen pokaymon while you did all the heavy lifting

Is there another character that filters brainlets as good as Hugh does?

Nah but everything you just typed was cancer. To you it's a shitmon, to him it was family, something irreplaceable and precious to his family with sentimental value whose fate was unknown, why don't you get that? He aimed to get stronger to retrieve what was lost and stop it from ever happening again, that's more purpose than almost every character in the franchise chasing after some vague goals of strength, also Qwilfish hair lol
>has his own motivations instead of just being another generic "i wanna be da bes :DDD" trainer >isn't overtly friendly to the player but isn't just a pretentious shitbag >battles you to get in practice so you can both get stronger, won't jerk you off for winning but won't cry about losing >actually funny
Hugh is the rival people say they want but get filtered by instead.
iirc you battle alongside Hugh more times than you battle against him, which is really unique and a great way to keep the rival active throughout the story without having constant battles like with Cheren and Bianca. I enjoyed BW overall but that got real grating real fast.
>Hugh was the last rival with some character aside from 2 blond edgelords and a schizo that isn't a fricking dickriding the MC
huh, and you'd think people would like him
Over 25 years of forcefeeding you about the bonds between humans and their Pokemon and you still don't understand why someone would care if theirs got stolen? You need fricking special education
The trvth nvke here is that /vp/ gets filtered whenever a character has an actual personality outside of throating MC's wiener and goals besides "I'M GONNA BE LE STRONK!!1!". Im sure these homosexuals only ""like"" the first two rivals out of nostalgia or to fit in and would 100% be shitting on Silver and Blue they were released today.
>"""rival""" with cringe design is released >His entire personality and character arc boil down to this: "NO, MY SISTER'S HECKING SHITMON!

Yeah but she loved that particular route 1 shitmon.
OMGHISA

What about the LGPE gay that everybody forgot about?
And the “rivals” in XY?
>And the “rivals” in XY?

That's Silver
Objectively incorrect.
Silver is the best rival because he's the only one with a real character arc that is shown, not told, through game mechanics.
Zoomers, of course, don't know this.
Silver is mogged hard by Kieran.
Literally who?
Yeah it was so inspiring to see Maxie, Archie, and Cyrus do the same transformation in their games, it was so beautiful :')

Ew no, that behavior is even less fricking consistent and would make even less sense in-universe.
But enough about Bianca
There's nothing wrong about Hop? He's basically an improved Hau. How many rivals actually got a legendary?
wins a legendary in an undeserved way after accepting being trampled by the MC, I literally hate human rugs
Hau is just a hawaiian but Hop is an ugly homosexual paki.

Barry and May
I can't believe that was a core plot for like literally the entire game. "A sister's purrloin" feels like a minor side quest that would be resolved in between gym badges in another game
isn't that the point? to you it sounds unimportant but to him it's everything. it's his entire reason for traveling the region.
He was barely a rival, I fought with him more often than against him. Which I didn't mind I guess, it was a change of pace after getting raped by cheren every 5 seconds in BW1. I'm guessing they did it that way on purpose, because they wanted to differentiate BW2 from BW1 as much as possible.
It's implied the Purrloin was the only thing that kept him happy during the time the town pedophile preyed on him.
What the frick are you talking about?
>Your dog died? Just get another dog
OP logic
well yeah
The Purrloin's not even dead, just stolen.
If a dog dies of natural causes or due to an accident, that's one thing, but being stolen? In some ways, that's arguably worse.
I liked how he had his own goal separate from yours. He's basically "what if Silver was a good guy."
I cried after my pet fish died. What difference does having unplayable stats make?
>MY SISTER'S ROUTE 1 SHITMON
Her pet cat.
>your bike got stolen?
>just get another one lol the guy who stole it is happier for getting it anyways.
it was his grandfathers last gift to his younger sister so I get why hes so fixated on it
I just wish he didnt have the worst catchphrase in the world or be the main driving force for you to interact with team plasma after the last game
His catchphrase is great tho
>only got his moronic mindbroken cat because of the player despite his hate boner for Team Plasma
>just fricking darts off in said direction of Plasma activity and you 9 out of 10 times have to go after him to join him on his hate boner quest
>all he does is fight plasma grunts with that use the same 5 fricking shitmons the entire game as if that required more than a working braincell
>speaking of that moronic mindbroken cat he didn't even fricking fight the guy who HAD it that was just dumped on you to do
>all that fricking buildup and constantly saying "IM ABOUT TO UNLEASH MY RAGE" and all he does at the end of it all is just stares at muh stolen pokaymon while you did all the heavy lifting

Is there another character that filters brainlets as good as Hugh does?

Hugh is so fricking based bro, cool design too. They should model a few more after his personality
iirc you battle alongside Hugh more times than you battle against him, which is really unique and a great way to keep the rival active throughout the story without having constant battles like with Cheren and Bianca. I enjoyed BW overall but that got real grating real fast.
yeaaaah, he was a pretty shit rival, that continued the trend of shit rivals for another 12 years
