>Horizons OCs are nice
They are boring and too cliche
>Riko is the solidest character
She is just another Koharu, Lillie and Serena searching for her dream and meeting new people to ganbare her except this time she has a magic pendent that can solve her problem.
>Roy being a carbon copy of Ash
Roy is more like Hop and Hau than Ash, remember that XY-PM Ash is vastly different than OS-DP Ash.
>ast episode showcased her coming out of her shell so let's see what haplens to Dot.
Dot is basically another Penny, it seem unfair that people bashed Penny yet depend another unlikable version of her only because Ash is not in the show.

You made a claim first retard, which you didn't back up with any evidence. Here are the numbers:

Victor/Rillaboom:79

2023 Pokefairs:
SS Diantha 93
SS Lysandre 144
Anabel 157
Emma 126
SS Mina 155
SS Hau 146
SS Acerola 93
SS Lana 63
Eusine 88
SS Silver 73
Rose 111
Oleana 83
Leon Dragapult 114
Gloria/Cinderace 88

i made a mistake and forgot about Eusine and Silver. So two PFs this year opened better than Victor/Rillaboom: SS Silver and SS Lana. Everything else did worse. Those are the numbers.If you want anything more than that you can easily look it up yourself with the website provided.

I'm back! Small update; Caught some lads, evolved some lads. Just done with Gladion

>Hau 3: RDR2 Edition
His Pikachu was easily disposed by two Rock Throws from Razz. He only gets Quick Attack'd twice for his trouble
>Brionne
With Babiri dead I can't hit this thing hard at all. I switch Yache in to an Aqua Jet. Yache Fakes Out and uses Bite. Brionne uses Disarming Voice, which does A LOT. I switch Mago unto another DA, which does a lot as well. Mago yawns while Brionne goes for Aqua Jet. Sensing the Z-move, I send in Apicot who takes about 50% damage. Brionne falls asleep. Apicot goes for Brick Break, but it doesnt kill. Afraid of the DA, I switch in Lansat who plucks to victory!

>Gladion.
I lead with Mago and use Yawn. I get lucky and Quick Claw procs. Mago goes for a confusion and doesnt get flinched by the 2nd Bite. I switch Yache and finish Zubat with Bite. Now it's Yache vs. Type Null. Yache screeches while Null tackles. Bite is now a three-shot. With 1 flinch, Yache makes short work of Gladion.

I'm probably going to trade my Lillipup for the Bounsweet on route 5, since it's nature is fucking terrible. And yknow, losing my Grass guy this early forces me to improvise. I also haven't forgotten that PickPuppy missed a Gem boosted Ice Fang against Iris, almost wiping me in white 2

Interesting choice given it's definitely the worst of the Primo eggs. Ekans is a decent early to mid-game mon too, so good luck!

At the beginning it was justified to dislike Roy since the first preview material highlighted him as another SM Hau, but his episodes have turned the perception on him around.
With the exception of schizos like Yuritard >54175147 just spamming his whining flamepasta again, Roy is decent enough.

i don;t knwo where the idea that hop and hau are so alike comes from? like yes they're both tanned boys who want to surpass a powerful trainer they're related to.... but that's where the similarities end. I actually like hop because unlike hua who doesn't seem to actually take this ambition to heart and just wants to chill with his pokemon, hop actually does take his ambition seriously. When he looses he decides to try new things and grows as a trainer. As this anon says >>54168647 he feels more like a budget bianca than a hua clone, but bianca is one of my favorite rivals, if not my number 1 favorite, so that isn't a downside to me.

Actually, I forgot about the XY rivals, which makes sense given they're really fucking forgettable and each individual one is arguably more of a waste of a character than SM Hau. Even if you're generous half of them are Hau levels of pointless, the only "advantage" they have is comparative lack of screentime. Which brings up another point in USUM Hau's favor, effective use of screentime in a few cases. In SM, Hala fights a UB on his own in a cutscene. In USUM, Hau is also there showing he was actually putting in the work, and it probably only wastes a few frames in comparison to the SM version. That's right, you can have good character development while only wasting a few frames, I wish more modern Pokemon games could get that shit right.
>>54168659
That's the Red/Blue dynamic I mentioned, in playable form even, which is great if you go for it. Slightly unrelated, but my personal favorite Hau scene is one where you just beat Faba or something, and you've got Hau smiling like a retarded puppy, Gladion being his edgelord self, and you with your thousand yard state, then Faba immediately freaks out and runs away. I don't know if they meant for it to be funny in that way, but it worked. I think SM is overall the funniest game, between all those and Team Skull acting like retards.

SM Hau? Hop might be worse but it's really close, I can see how you'd like Hop more if you ignore the fact that he steals Bianca's character arc without any of the character development that leads there. Hau is really just a waste of a character that's there to be a fuckup, then shows up in the postgame like he earned anything when he very clearly didn't and is still a fucking loser.
USUM Hau? Honestly, a completely reasonable character arc. Sucks shit during most of the game, but then makes an effort to change that and catches up to you by the end. Like, he's not perfect or anything, but I'd take him over the pro-wrestling character development of Silver or whatever the fuck they were attempting with Hugh. USUM Hau does work slightly better on a meta level, he's sort of a reversal of the Red/Blue dynamic, so if you don't get or appreciate that he's just kind of okay and you might think somebody bland but reliable like Barry is better.

I honestly think they did the "rival who is a dumbass nice kid who actually has an older family member they are want to defeat one day so they need to get serious" better with barry. But that might be because I find barry's gimmick of being clumsy and bumping into you more endearing than hau's constant eating.

I have to agree, I don't even dislike Hau but he's a boring rival. He's a nice kid but he's not someone I feel competitive against, and he's a bit of an airheaded crybaby desu. It's also the generation where that bad habit of your rival picking the starter weak to yours starts which I hate.

Hop is basically Hau 2.0 but is offset by other characters like Marnie who's cute and Bede who's an asshole I want to humiliate.

Imagine acting like a nerd and getting excited because someone gifted you a fucking TM to teach your pet monster. You sound like a little kid getting excited over a new toy. Hau on the other hand is a gigachad, appreciating the joys of life like good food.

Is this the worst fucking rival ever? I think this is the only rival that makes me salty and want to kick his ass because his personality is so fucking terrible even though I think the intention is for me to feel sympathetic. Like I actually want to crush his dreams and make sure he never lives up to his grandfather because he is a complete fucking loser who never takes anything seriously and won't stop eating.
I just got to the part half way through USUM where that aether bitch is like here PC you can have the TM for psychic to make your pokemon stronger and here Hau you can have some fast food that you'll scarf down like pig on the ferry and it just made me lol. Like even other characters in the story treat him like a complete joke and I'm not sure if that was intentional or what? yes I hate fat people

now I didn't say it was perfect, I have a lot to gripe about it but it felt a lot fresher playing this then Sun/Moon and certainly better then SwSh. is it comparible to GOOD games like HGSS? fuck no.

They keep it vague as to not intrude on the main stories, but every Protag IS supposed to be after their adventure and becoming champion.

They all make allusions to their adventures, including stuff that only would have happened during the main story. I think Gloria even makes reference to meeting Zacian a couple times before catching it, just like in SWSH.

So unless you wanna pretend Masters completely diverges from Canon at the 11th hour and everything is 1:1 with the main games until the conclusion of the Champion battle, my best explanation is that becoming Champion doesn't make being Champion their official job/title.

This way they get to include all previous Champions and still title them as such.

This is why Lance is still considered a (if not, THE) Kanto Champion despite Red beating him. Red didn't stick around to be the "official" on-going Champion title holder, despite being recognized as one.

Leon is still recognized as a Champion, always will be. Gloria beat him, but like Red, didn't stick around to be Champion, she went to catch the doggo and then fucked off on other adventures.

I will say I wish they handled Alola better, because in Alola's case Hau and Kukui were really never supposed to be Champions (and IIRC neither of them is labelled as such in Masters) - so IMO this should have been the one region where they actually did double down and emphasise either Elio or Selene as Champ. Would have been a 10/10 detail for fans. But alas.

So, planning my teams for the electric high score event, I have:

Strikers:
- Hau 5/5 EX
- Elesa 3/5
- Sophocles 5/5
- (You) and shiny Raichu
- (You) and Pikachu

Supports:
- Sonia 3/5 EX
- Clemont 3/5
- Sygna Elesa 4/5
- (You) and Electrode (god, why do support eggmons hatch with high attack stats instead of defense stats?
- should probably get Surge and Raichu next time I have a BP ticket

Tech:
- Clemont 5/5 (actually better defensive stats than my Electrode)
- Surge 5/5 (also better defensive stats than my Electrode)
- Sophocles 5/5 (better sp. def than my Electrode)

I don't even have enough pairs for full 5 teams.

Comparing the Alola League to the others:
Leagues from OS to XY:
>Pros: Entry by completing Gym Challenge, so only the best make it in; 3 vs 3 battles start early, with full battles beginning somewhere between the top 32 (Hoenn) and the top 8 (Kanto, Sinnoh, Kalos); battles follow Ash and his rivals, so there's more focus on the overarching narrative of the season played out through the League
>Cons: Focus is on Ash, so he has to be interesting for it to matter; most battles are skipped or truncated, making it feel empty; Ash cheats a lot
Alola League:
>Pros: Interesting qualifier with the 151 Battle Royale; participants are recurring characters; you see every battle, and every battle is short; Team Rocket is in the League, and that's neat; Ash's narrative is eschewed, and most battles are character defining moments; everyone but Ash is neat
>Cons: There is no entry requirement; most Alolans only have one or two Pokemon, making the League predictable; the final is a 3 vs 3 battle, there are no full battles; Hau is just there; because Ash's narrative arc isn't the focus, it's weird that he wins this one; Ash cheats the most that I've probably ever seen him cheat; Ash's involvement in the League is still suspect given he's been in six Leagues, the Orange Islands and the Battle Frontier; Ash sucks and is dead and retired thank god

The Alola League feels like it exists because they were told there had to be one. While I appreciate that they tried to do something different, the way SM proceeded up to that point didn't lend itself to a League tournament at the end. Maybe a school tournament would've been a better capstone, but I guess TPC wanted Ash to win a League Championship after failing to pull the trigger in DP or XY, when it would've mattered. If they had more episodes, they could've done longer battles, but the Alola League is already the longest by episode count. They tried; it didn't work.

Gen 2: I only ever got a zubat I think

Gen 3: A zigzagoon, a swablu and a magikarp while hunting for... feebas. And a voltorb in FireRed

Gen 4: For some reason I have never, ever got a shiny in any gen 4 game despite adding up in total the most hours I've spent replaying

Gen 5: Once again I was hunting for feebas and this time a shiny basculin appeared. Later an azurill in Black 2.

Gen 6, I got a ferroseed which I added to my story team. Unfortunately, the cart was stolen. Later I bought another game and got a handful in friend safari, but at this point there are already mechanics greatly increasing the odds. In ORAS I got a few shinies while using hordes to EV train.

Gen 7, I was breeding abras with random natures for wild Synchronize mechanic and one of them came out shiny -so far my only shiny egg by pure chance-. Then a golbat I think. A handful in SOS battles and another few in ultra spaces, but again, inflated chances whether I intend or not. I grabbed the game ages later to pass something to gen 8 through pokebank and while searching for it, a wild furfrou appeared in Hau'oli gardens.

Gen 8, I got a shiny steelix raid - unfortunately I didn't know I could have run and preserve it otherwise I'd have shared. And then a random gurdurr. There was also a corsola raid I run into online but I have no way to know if that one was manipulated or not. though you could say randomly running into a shiny raid online is itself a matter of luck if you aren't following "those" channels

Gen 9, at this point I'm deliberately shiny hunting and got a few boxes, but if I count the ones that genuinely appeared while not hunting, I must have a couple dozens still. A few that appear while I'm hunting something else also.

After the travesty of Hau vs. Ash, the rest of the matches were a lot more compelling and made sense for the kayfabe they were trying to get across. Kiawe vs. Sophocles wasn't a barn burner, but it was a nice coming out moment for Sophocles, often the forgotten of the Alola gang. Lana vs. Guzma got over Guzma's violent battling style, so that even if he doesn't cheat, he's clearly a heel. Gladion vs. Kiawe was a good battle of similars, and Turtonator got to have its moment to shine. I was worried they'd keep Lycanroc undefeated until the finals, but Turtonator knocked it out and still had a good show against Silvally.

I'd imagine people got mad about the Emergency Exit -> Scizor/Fire Blast in Guzma vs. Ash, but that's a move that makes sense given how Emergency Exit works. It also seems to fit into Guzma's character of why he's only second best, in that he tends to run away at a serious challenge. Whether Ash cheats more in the course of the battle remains to be seen of course.
