I'm sorry Hau. You might have sucked in 2016, but thrn I met Hop in 2019 and he's just so much worse than you you two are not even on the same scale.

Sorry Joe, he’s still better than Hop

Gladion and Hau played off each other well desu
Honestly I think 99% of the issue with Pokemon rivals is the fact that the player is still mute, so all interactions with your rival consist of them monologuing to themselves for a while about why they're not strong enough. Having two rivals to talk to each other was a good move.

It's more because Gladion wasn't battled often enough, and his asshole-ishness wasn't on a personal level

Hop stops sucking quite as much later in the game when you can make it two routes without encountering him, but he appeared so much in the early game that he actively made me not want to play the video game and there were multiple occasions where I halted all progress and fucked around in the Wild Area for a while because I could see Hop in the distance even though I'd seen and battled him twice literally 6 minutes earlier.

Tip for GameFreak for Gen 9:
If I play as the girl make my friendly rival also a girl so if she's as shit as Hop and Hau I can at least coom to her.

Gladion is legit one of the worst characters in all of pokemon. He's literally fanfiction edgy rival in terms of both personality and design.

Gladions edge is a bit of a joke but hes better than hau/hop.
The problem with friendly rivals is that theres no real conflict and you end up feeling bad for them.
Bede was a great rival, and marnie was a decent one. Bede was great because his personality makes you want to beat him, and marnie is fine because her goal(spikemuth representation) isn't in direct contradiction with yours.

Also the actual problem with gladion was the inclusion of lillie. They have exactly the same backstory, except replace nebby with type:null for gladion. Both characters ended up suffering for this. Lillie ended up being literally nothing more than the nebby-mobile, and gladion took a supporting role. Lillie should've been axed and Gladion should've had nebbie to balance out his edge.
Gamefreak designs characters before writing though so this is what we get.

Memes aside you guys DO remember he's not a fucking robot right

He has moments where he gets upset or outright angry at people, including the player

This is the one moment in the game and Hau fans just repost it endlessly to pretend he actually has a personality.

I'd post it because I like dunking on Hau. It's a real shame that, aside from a passing mention by Gladion and an optional line of dialogue from an NPC, the game doesn't actually give you any indication of what Hau's actual deal is. Like, when he bows out at Aether Paradise, that's the only time you ever get any idea of his issues at all, and you might just brush it off like May/Brendan (especially true since the remake was the last game to come out at the time). USUM tries to fix this at the end, making a sort of inversion of the Gen 1 rivalry, but that still involves enough investment from the player to care and also ignores the fact that there's too many cutscenes with Hau that tell you basically nothing you already don't know or even worse fucking nothing of importance. I want to like Hau more than I do, there's some depth there which is more than I can say for any "rival" from XY, but it's slightly botched like a lot of the things Gen 7 does well.

Pro tip. If you write-fags out there are having trouble making a character more like able, just make them an attractive female. Works like a charm

There are other moments in the game, such as you being able to dump on all of his jokes and him being upset over it, but that one is the best example.

I agree. He's actually a pretty good rival if you consider USUM to be the true versions.
