>>41296151The thing with the X/Y kids is that I have no problem accepting their small and weak teams, and not being very good battlers, because their goal isn't to become champion or anything. Tierno is putting together a dance troupe, Trevor just wants to complete his pokedex, and Shauna is just in it for the fun times and memories.
The problem is that, within the game, that makes them not fun to fight at all.
And even your "pokedex battles" with Trevor, in my case I beat him every time despite not really going out of my way to complete the dex at all. So you're even better than him at his own dream he spends all his time working towards.
Serena's also just kind of a wet noodle so they all felt extremely underwhelming
I still think I like them all better than Hop
He'll stop me in the city to talk to me, tell me where to go. He finally leaves and I think I get to go explore a route on my own, only to look ahead 30 feet in the distance and see Hop standing there, just waiting to talk to me again.
