>>55664401I didn't give a shit about the central plot of Galar, but I can't forgive that they used OCs for the world tournament and not the leaders or main characters from the games that never appeared in the anime, Bede, Marnie, and Hop could have been better rivals with a good background motivation.
Bede trying to become the favorite of his sponsor Rose again.
Marnie using the championship to revive her failing town.
Hop looking to get out of his brother's shadow.
It would have been more meaningful if any of them faced Leon in the first round of the 8 Masters tournament and lost, instead of Alain.
