>Bede is incredibly grateful to Rose for endorsing him, and thus tries extremely hard not to let him down.
>imply that their relationship was based around Rose marketing him, giving Bede anxiety about failing. Thats is the reason he’s an asshole because he’s trying to look tougher for Rose.
>the reason he looses to you is because he’s so afraid of failing that he fights too recklessly.
>ditch the whole “pink” thing and rewrite Opal into a quirky but wise Uncle Iroh type. Her taking him in means he gets an actual mentor ego cares about him as a person
>he’d have a stronger post-game fight because he’d actually have a clear head for once, maybe with a new team of Reuniclus, Gallade, Klefki, Galarian Rapidash, Gmax Hatterne, and Bronzong
