>>33124039Stuff like him getting to name Silvally's species is cool and I like his themes. Didn't pop up as often as other characters, so wasn't as obnoxious. With anime becoming more mainstream, we were bound to get a chuuni character and I think they could've handled a deliberately edgy character much worse. I don't entirely get why he joined Team Skull instead of just doing his own thing alone like Lillie did. Especially when nobody takes Team Skull seriously.
Him and Hau's interactions were good and people got both a standard friendly rival in Hau and a less friendly on in Gladion. If you don't like one, you'll probably like the other.
