>>41725895I think he had some high notes, like Boxing Wooloo after Bede wrecks his ass, that was really nice Ludo, but even with that when you basically ruin Leons career he pales.
Honestly Bede and Marnie might be sharing about half as much screentime and were Type specialists, but they were more fun encounters.
Here is what Hop has going for him:
1. Boxing Wooloo.
2. Catching other Box Legendary in post-game (and in Shield that means he gets one of the most powerful Pokémon available and one that is so no Brainer the AI can actually use it, too bad that doesn't matter anymore at that point).
3. Tournament Battle Theme is pretty good, but that is at the fucking tail end of the game.
People compare him to Hau a lot but i think he is more like Calem/Serena, only the salty period is less "subtle" and the Team-Up "Base Raid" is stupider. Hau doesn't really get nearly as Salty because he doesn't even try and just wants to eat Hawaii ice cream with his pets (until Gladion calls him out on it).
