>>34057430Yeah, but Kukui is just way more hype as the final opponent. It helps that he himself was a likable character achieving his dreams of battling in a league. Now Hau gets to be considered the "real" final boss of Gen 7. If the game had been a sequel I would have tolerated it, but one of the most pleasant plot turns in the series is now swept under the rug in favor of a disappointment just because we knew it was coming this time.
