>>56771281>Hau doesn't care much about that, it's mostly Hop's thing."So you and me both beat that Totem Pokémon, huh, <player>? Looks like we're getting pretty strong! But I wonder if I'll ever really be able to beat my gramps at this rate..."
"Heh heh, right..."
"I may not be as strong as my gramps, Hala... But I can still raise up <rival's first partner's first evolution Pokémon> and the rest of my team to do their best!"
>Hau doesn't do this. He doesn't get frustrated at all.Upon being defeated
"It's hard to be strong enough to admit that you're weak... you know?"
After battle
"Seriously! This is really frustrating, you know? I seriously tried my hardest, you know? But at least I had a blast going all out against you, <player>. So thanks."
"Ugh... Battles you can't afford to lose aren't any fun..."
>Gen 5 does this too, so why is Cheren not "the same" as Hop and Hau?I personally don't like Gen 5, so I don't pay too much attention to it. Best I can give ya.
>And that's bullshit. You shouldn't need to point it out at all cause it's meaningless. You wouldn't call Lance and Red the same character if they shared an animation.Lance's not a selective mute, stone-faced mountain hermit, no. Hard to confuse one for the other.
>Hop at least has something resembling a character arc, unlike Hau who is just "dude malasadas lmao".I didn't say Hau wasn't Malasada Kid, I'm saying Hop doesn't even have that.
>So stop parroting /vp/'s dumbass rhetoric.I've thought this since all the way when the trailers dropped and SwSh were new.
It's fine if you want to like Hop andor dislike Hau. I personally think they're the same character, but that's just me.
