>>46193479>Yeah, because he realizes it's not just (You) that can beat him but other Trainers tooHeadcanon. He explicitly states "See, Bede really wiped the floor with me the last time we battled... And don’t get me wrong—I can take a loss! Battling means you’ve got to lose sometimes. But he said that I was dragging Lee’s good name through the mud, being so rubbish like I was... And I just can’t get those words out of my head!".
Let's just assume you're correct, why would he seethe over losing to Bede and not (You) despite (You) beating him several times prior? Is it because he believes (You) are lesser in his eyes and losses to the player aren't a big deal?
>He has a flawed character and grows from itHe is the same person at the end of the game, I played Sword and I can promise you that. His growth really is just finding a job.
>He slowly realized what he wants to do over the course of the gameLast minute of the postgame after calming down the legendary dog you mean. Does Hop even save anything else?
>He isn't overconfident about his abilities anymore.Oh what a leap in character. A legendary dropped in his hands, a strong team that's only losing at this point to random jobbers like Sordward from self sabotage because Bede's words are that rent free in his head, and a high placement in the tournament but he's not sucking himself off as much anymore so he's totally different. Funny how Raihan is in the same game, never giving up on beating Leon after so many loses, with fangirls everywhere. Hope Hop enjoys his professor job.
