>>38811220I think he's gonna be the reflection of what Pokemon players who play to win and keep complaining to GF about how older gens are the best are. He'll have perfectly bred, IV/EV trained Mons, is constantly showing up everywhere to defeat people and add another victory to his record (which is basically the protag, who canonically never loses fights in their game), and uses the OG fire starter because he loves Kanto and all that. Everything he is is a facade - in reality, he does whatever it takes to win and crushes resistance without mercy because he's a perfectionist and feels he can't afford to lose for some reason. His positive public image is the result of him hiding the shit he does behind the scenes.
