>>58494557>LeonHop being a beta towards Leon and being a genuine submissive cuck towards you aren't contradictory statements.
And no he's not your sidekick just in those cases, the entirety of the postgame is him being your pathetic sidekick that got even more pathetic lately until he gets the other wolf, and then he's still your submissive brown boy. Hau's malasadas shit was tiring for sure but he had more character, he had clashes with Gladion about the way he took pokemon battles, he was more visibly annoyed at you beating him than Hop and his family issues also made more sense because it wasn't just "gosh I wanna be as cool as big bro :( but I'm not as strong " but "my family has a very traditional and important role in this region and I'm supposed to fit there as well regardless of my skills, I wonder if I will be a disgrace and disappointment to him"
Hau isn't the greatest rival at all but it's better than Hop, Hop just worse Hau and again I just beat that shit, you aren't changing my mind, I know what I played less than a month ago.
