He's characterized with these massive aspirations of becoming the next Champion, of squaring off with his big bro. Only to be inevitably cucked by the MC. It's sad really, because Pokemon MCs typically have no meaningful goals or dreams of their own. I feel like we robbed this kid of his rightful place on the throne. I don't feel good for beating Hop as I may have with Blue.
