>>58983408I sympathize with Kieran because he's a very good character with realistic reactions who admires you but has the backbone to get frustrated to the point he can't stand you until he gets over his weakness and accepts his natural wrongs rather than masking them with forced ones
I despise Hop because he's a joke of a character, his entire character is defined by his dream and you are throw into the world of the game to fulfill that dream instead, crushing the only thing he has forever, and do you think he cares? lol no he has like two scenes of him being frustrated at you beating him all the time but before and after that? He can't stop sucking your cock all the way as you slowly show him you will rob him of his goal, you become who he always wanted to be and somehow the loser can't stop being a dick-sucking faggot, even more offense the postgame (the fucking POSTGAME) is the first time they actually seem to play with the fact he's a weakling compared to you, his rival, and do you think he gets to actually prove his worth before changing back to his cheering-self? Nope, he embarrasses himself in front of the secondary rival, the brainwashed tranny (still better than the tertiary rival who doesn't even appear in the postgame lmao) and he convinces himself by beating wild pokemon out of control that what he really wants is being a professor because of course the best way to learn of his life goal after wasting a decade dreaming of something you destroyed is to make him (help) beating wild pokemon into submission so he says
>Wait, these pokemon are running wild, and we helped then by knocking them out... that's it! I love helping pokemon! I'm gonna be a professor!!And when does he say this? When the game gifts him completely for free an ultra super duper OP legendary he doesn't deserve and actually becomes strong, he gives up just as deus ex machina makes him actually competent.
Hop's existence is insulting. Specially next to a SV character.
