I'll be real here.
Hop is now tied with N as my favorite Pokemon rival and character in general outside the anime.
I feel that N has a more complex background and story, but no other character in the series has struck a chord with me personally as well as Hop did.
Not to be the petty type, but calling it right now, literally no one is gonna address that Ash’s Pikachu has its Gigantimax form over a regular Dynamax form and no one in #anipoke is gonna care despite so many people throwing a fit over the Pikachunium Z last series.
Anyone else realize that Sonia went through the exact same arc as Hop?
Was rivals with Leon, didn't succeed at matching his skills in battle, became a professor's assistant instead. After which she succeeds in that field and offers Hop a chance to do the same.
Something felt oddly familiar about Mr.Mime this #anipoke episode...WAIT
-Makes goofy, memable faces
-Is underestimated in battle
-Has a unique and unorthodox fighting style
-In it's first solo match takes a surprising W and then exits itself out of the rest of the match
HMMMM
Some of y’all don’t think Rowlet is objectively one of the best things to exist ever and it shows.
Melmetal is officially part of the battle in which Ash finally won the league.
I'm very proud of the nut-boi turned nut-MAN.

Yada yada- SM has an unreal level of continuity, I'm a biased fanboy, etc etc
