Maybe not at the end, but it'd be nice if he progressed beyond his obnoxiously positive "haha nice going I'll get you next time though" routine and actually reacted to his losses in some meaningful way.
Like, literally just let the characters be sad about losing, just once.
> literally just let the characters be sad about losing
He quite literally does exactly that and that’s what causes the start of his development. Did you even play the game?
You're moronic. He switches his teams out like 3 times and seethes when Bede trashes him and dabs on him. His whole resolution is he completely gives up on his dreams an does something else.
RB Rival gets humbled on his peak at the end of the game.
GS Rival learns about his loss and becomes a better trainer
RS Rival gets so mad about losing they literally give up on training
XY Rival is exactly your example, getting upset and sad they could never beat you
No. Nothing in gen 8 is remotely near "the best" of anything.
Based
Swoshit will always be remembered as the worst fricking generation in the entire franchise, even worse than SM
wrong gen 5 exists
This guy is nothing more than an annoyance on your path forcing you to feel sorry for him. It's just a Galarian version of Hau, but worse.
Feel sorry for him? Lmao no I’d pay to see him hang himself and laugh as he dies
Hop is better written than Hau, he is just the Gen 6 and 7 rival but done much better by giving him more of a connection to the setting.
lol fricking no
even Malasada has more deep than Lizardon wank
how?
Only in Sword. In based Shield he gets Zacian and legitimately becomes a threat

They did that with XY and it was just depressing
You watch his spirit break throughout the course of game because he can never be like his brother or you who never loses

No, because that still means 90% of the game he's a totally insufferable homosexual.
hop is annoying only if you never meet an annoying person before
He would be the best rival if he took off his shirt at the end of the game
>tries to battle
>it's shit
>he's sad about it
>change into something he's actually good at
>now he's happy
heres hop's character development in a nutshell
I will never understand the praise for Galarian Hau. He’s homosexual and annoying.
Bede was the way to the butthole rivals again but they wasted it coloring him pink instead
No, because I don't want to frick him, unlike Nemona.
>character development is going from a loser to a bitter loser
Good thing /vp/ doesn't write the games
He'd be the most memorable.
unironically he'd be one of my favorites
