>>45047582>BWHUGH DECKS N IN HIS STUPID FUCKING HIPPY FACE. NONE OF THIS "WAGH I'M NOT STWONG" OR "IS DWIS THE WIGHT WAY TO GET PWOWA MISTAH AWDER UWU?" BULLSHIT THAT WE GET WITH CHEREN AND BIANCA. HUGH WILL GO TO A RALLY AND HIT GHETSIS WITH A TRUCK!
>BW2Cheren and Bianca worked a bit better as older mentor characters in this setting compared to what I'd envision for Hugh. Then again, Hugh was kinda boring in this setting as a rival. I attribute that to BW2 Plasma being more boring though, since his beef was with them.
A young Cheren and Bianca might benefit story wise due to Colress also walking around and talking about morally grey ways of getting strength. This could add some ambiguity to both Cheren and Bianca, since they had arcs about strength that were kinda resolved and dropped halfway through BW. This would also benefit Colress' role in the story compared to him barely doing anything at all. Alder also being a retired wandering champ might be neat in this scenario as well.
We'll also complain about Cheren's and Bianca's teams apeing off of Hugh's instead of of the other way around.
