>>32404963>did Silver's character arc better>personality goes further than his design, he's not the edgy shit we expected him to be, he's just stressed and has a lot on his plate when you meet him ingame>rescued and raised his own Type: Null despite the fact that it's a violent mutant thing>actually involves himself in the plot instead of dicking around>mellows out by the end of the game and is actually pretty niceI've noticed most of the people who dislike/don't care for characters like Gladion are the people who blitz through the text ingame and don't bother to actually read what the characters are saying, then they go on /vp/ and post "but x was shit and didn't do anything." I also bet these same people only really paid attention to Guzma's meme lines and spout "ya boi" without actually getting what makes his character stand above most of the other antagonist type characters. I wish people like this wouldn't try to involve themselves in character specific discussions.
Gladion's character arc was very plain to see and even if he wasn't your taste in character, it's not difficult to understand why people would hold him to a high regard as far as Pokemon characters go.
