>>49177723>Is it about the easygoing vs energetic dichotomy with the sports dude, or is there something deeper with their opposition to each other?easygoing vs energetic is the summary, but it's moreso that the two share enough traits to be familiar with one another, but have such polarising outlooks and lifestyles that their shared traits only make them hate each other more.
both enjoy the outdoors, but dream dude is out there to have stupid conversations with his friends and watch the night sky, while sports dude is out there to experience the thrills of nature and make memories that last a lifetime.
both want to make a positive mark in the world, but dream dude does this through entertainment (pokemon battles as a gym leader), while sports dude goes out and does tangible services for people (like the search+rescue mentioned).
and obviously, both want to be true to themselves and do what they love, but dream dude does this by staying up late (albeit rarely by choice anymore), keeping mostly to himself, and taking advantage of the quiet of night, while sports dude does this by getting up early, making a name for himself, and seizing the day while the sun's out.
dream dude sees sports dude as full of himself and too busy "trying to seem cool", never considering that he's doing his best to be a genuinely good person (even if he gets a bit caught up in his appearance and thrill-seeking nature) and his acts of (sometimes) unspoken kindness really do change the world.
sports dude sees dream dude as snobbish and wasting his time on things that won't make a difference, never considering that he's now practically revolving his life around pleasing other people (even if his sleep-deprived temper makes him rather abrasive) and his solitary nature lets him make all the difference to the people he lets in.
both of them see each other in an extremely similar negative light, and both of them are wrong for very similar reasons, too.
