I know people typically want a Silver or Blue type of rival or something like that, but Kieran... he's a breed all his own. He's timid and shy at first but as he slowly opens up to you, you can see how he hyper fixates on the "villain" of a story. It's even present in his team, as they consist of Pokemon similar to ogres, except Dipplin. He comes to idolize you, but as you are sworn to keep the true nature of Ogerpon secret from him, he starts to hate you. Maybe not entirely first, but by the time you catch Ogerpon, all he has now is hate. His dreams crushed, his feelings betrayed, and he finds himself completely beaten. His motivation for becoming champion is not one of power or being the very best. He wants to beat you, not for glory, not for the ogre, not for anything other than to prove that he is better than YOU. He honestly reminds me of Akechi from Persona 5. Someone who doesn't care if they're on fire, just that you burn quicker. But at the end of it all... You are able to get back your friend. And that's how friendships typically work. They have ups and downs. And this representation of friendship makes me feel like Game Freak crushed this game's story. I won't probably ever say a game is perfect, but this one was pretty freaking good.
The use of the word "hyperfixates" (along with just Kieran in general) makes me believe he's autistic. He's what happens when someone on the spectrum is having a "mental breakdown" or Autonomic storm by having their hyperfixation removed entirely. He just delves completely off the deep end, disregards his and his own pokemon's safety and is focused on only one thing, Starts Screaming if you get crits or use ogerpon As someone who's been double-crossed and is autistic. When Kieran gets called Ex-Champ by drayton, i wanted my Sylveon to deck him in the face with pixilate hyperbeam "Lance-style". A feeling i would not feel untill a month later with laios v shuro. The Litle guy just completely dissasosiates. The champion battle didn't have a porpouse beyond "Lash out", it's not like he was defending his title... he could've voted against you in the beggining. As well as in Mochi Mayem, his reaction after the Grandpa fight, nearly solidified it... for all he knows. His sister, His Only parental figures, and the friends he just met are DEAD. And he just starts crying and does his damedest to keep going.
@@Angwiser-zk7vk Oh thank god, I'm not the only autistic person who believes Kieran is autistic too. He was done incredibly dirty and honestly I was rooting for him the whole time. I even started to see him as a little brother to me. I wanted to give him the treatment I never got when I was a young, autistic kid. I just wanted to be kind to the kid, man... I'm just incredibly glad we got our friend back.
BB Leagues Elite Members Which is the Elite Four and Champion all have one thing in common They all have one Final Evo Starter from a Previous Game Kieran having Incineroar is very fitting as Kieran is literally the Heel in this Battle.
One thing I noticed is that Kieran uses some really good mons for competitive in this fight (Dragonite, Incineroar, Grimmsnarl) probably a coincidence, but it’s fitting
@@mr_fish44It’s not a coincidence. They had competitive in mind when they made this dlc. And Kieran’s whole thing is that he’s on the grind to build the best competitive team possible. In dlc one he had a Poliwrath but he replaced it with a Politoed because that’s more competitively viable.
@@flashzt3296 yes I am including that one. While some see it as belonging to just one or the other, I see it as belonging to both. Meaning Terapagos has 2 themes, (if we’re counting all of the phases of Stellar Terapagos as one), and Kieran has 4.
"Bringing the ogre out NOW of all times?!" Yeah, because I imagine she still considers you a friend. _She has just as much right to try to snap you out of this as I do._
to be honest, that was the exact reason i brought along ogerpon to the fight because im very petty, same reason i kept bringing my hydrapple along in fights against kieran and his hydrapple since both pokemon were dipplins to flex that he doesn't have a caramel apple dragon and i do
Final Battle! Kieran 0:03 to 0:06 Kieran and Carmine (a melody the two share in their battle themes) 0:07 to 0:19 Kieran and Carmine 0:32 to 0:45 Kieran's theme 0:59 to 1:24 Final Battle! Kieran 1:37 to 1:43
Did my man Kieran snatch up these legendary battle themes with Master Balls too? He's got 4 unique and awesome themes all to himself! He aint risking another Ogerpon situation again, especially with music😂
I was going into this fight downright terrified like "Oh lord, pray for me chat (my 2 friends i had on a call with me)" And then his theme started and i actively scrambled away from the screen and shrieked "WHAT THE FUCK-" I was going "Yeah i'm fucked yall, pray for me-" And then the electric guitar came in. This theme instills the same fear in me that cynthia and volo's themes instill in everyone else
same here… when this kicked in and the fight actually began i just became paralyzed with fear. i probably could’ve won with that same team if i had played better but somehow the intense energy in the air and this music made me break down. took me several tries. this is my cynthia tbh
I know I only survived because half my team was lvl 100 and I a max revive on my Hissuian Samurott with only Ogerpon left and just barley won my 1st try
I just won this battle with JUST my Galvantula left against Kieran’s Grimmsnarl. It was ROUGH and my team was ~6-7 levels above Kieran’s ace. Not to mention EV trained with Competitive items, running a pseudo Trick Room Team. I had Reuniclus, Wellspring Ogerpon (who Kieran OHKO’d on the first turn with Hurricane), Alolan Muk, Rhydon, Galvantula and Tera Ice Hitmontop
This song is so fucking good!! I’m going to try to recreate it in the style of Pokémon black and white now edit: Its done everyone!!!! I think its really good!!
When the members of the slick your hair back club watches the BB Champion fight(Aizen and Vergil) and hope their newest member release the storm of Fragor.
Very poetic that the AI seemed more ticked of the Iron Valiant than Ogerpon when both were on the field for me The former thrashing all his Kitakami fights
I feel like someone who worked on the tracks for Pokemon Collosseum and XD must have snuck there way into making this. Because the last time that i heard an electric gutiar shred as much as it does in this track was for the Cipger Peon and Semi-Final battle themes from Collosseum, aka two of the best tracks in the franchise. As much as i hate MANY of the decisions GF has made since gen 7, i have to admit the nysic has kept up.
It's so funny how I see everyone saying this battle was so hard when I just beat him with my Iron Valiant and Glaceon 😂 Anyways, I'm freaking addict to that song I love it sm as much as I love Kieran 🖤💜🖤💜🖤
He fainted all my pokemon but 1 (Suicune). The end of the battle was just 1v1 Suicune vs Hydrapple And if my suicune didn't have a psychic type move I'd have lost for sure
He did fant some of my legdarys i glsd i hade calax shadow otherwise it would bean more challenging i glad he was but did need to be nocked off his high horse

@@mr_fish44 that was the intention
I just realized something. As far as I’m aware, unless we’re counting Masters EX, Kieran has more battle themes than N.
Are you including the Terapagos theme as well? N has 3 in the main series games
@@flashzt3296 yes I am including that one. While some see it as belonging to just one or the other, I see it as belonging to both. Meaning Terapagos has 2 themes, (if we’re counting all of the phases of Stellar Terapagos as one), and Kieran has 4.
"Bringing the ogre out NOW of all times?!"
Yeah, because I imagine she still considers you a friend.
_She has just as much right to try to snap you out of this as I do._
You've got some nerve... Bringing out the ogre NOW of all times?!
Hah! Ik that dialogue happens when Kieran sees Ogrepon!
to be honest, that was the exact reason i brought along ogerpon to the fight because im very petty, same reason i kept bringing my hydrapple along in fights against kieran and his hydrapple since both pokemon were dipplins to flex that he doesn't have a caramel apple dragon and i do
This made me leap off the couch when I saw it
shrek
I mean I brought it out because I thought it would be funny
*slaps hop on the back of the head*
Kieran: “This is how you do a friendly rival arc!”
Hop: least I have a legendary
@@ksoundkaiju9256 Kieran: At least I became a champion.
Hop: And you still lost to your own Victor/Gloria.
@@azazel166 Kieran: You lost to a guy who wears a purple trench coat and a Rolex.
@@NutterButter-6970 N: Amateurs, both of you.

you after winning "get a nap in, I hear you need it"
0:03 Oh, its the same?
0:07 Okay its different, thats cool
0:20 O_o
The part at 0:59 is cool as well ❤
every time I have ever fought Kieran I full sweep his team with just a maushold, which may be the reason he hated me so much
This is a real freaking banger.
It's the perfect song for 'a kid who needed a hug, didn't get one, so now he's taking it out on everyone'
@@carlcrawford7750 like you get mad over losing, get stronger... And still lose. That's what Kieran was like
And I thought his teal mask final battle theme was good lol
I was going into this fight downright terrified like "Oh lord, pray for me chat (my 2 friends i had on a call with me)"
And then his theme started and i actively scrambled away from the screen and shrieked "WHAT THE FUCK-"

0:00 really sounded like i wasn't in pokemon... but instead in a horror movie, about to be stomped by an apple looking dragon.
Me: looks at the entire Applin line.
Also me: Coincidence? I think NOT!
Kieran is definitely up there with Cynthia and Volo in terms of power. I really got Volo vibes from Kieran after his change, too.
The difference gratitude makes:
You're either Wally or this dude lmao
1:25 is sooo good

Kieran’s AI targets Ogerpon only when she is on the field.
@@MegaUltraQ2342 Wait, really? That's hilarious!
This doesnt sound like pokemon, and i welcome it
It took me like 5 minutes to tell my first pokemon to do something cause i was jamming too hard
Every time I listen to this I can’t help but think of “I never told you what I do for a living” for some reason 😂
The gloves have come off.
I’m getting evil factory boss at the beginning
I love Kieran as a character and all, but god damn did his new cocky attitude make it fun to put him in his place and demolish him.
OH MY GOD THIS GOES SO HARD
Me a 20 year Pokemon vet : “ just put the fries in the bag lil bro, you’re not himothy”
This song is so fucking good!! I’m going to try to recreate it in the style of Pokémon black and white now
edit: Its done everyone!!!! I think its really good!!

This gens music went crazy
They let Toby Fox and the pokemon keyboard game guy (cassiopeia theme) cook
this hits so harrrrdddd omg

Most of us used only pokemon we got and raised in the Indigo Disk (plus Ogerpon of course). Anything else felt like blasphemy, at least for me.
@@cortster12I just slotted Ogerpon and some others from the Terarium into my Violet main campaign team and steamrolled him
@@flallana18 lol

He fainted all my pokemon but 1 (Suicune). The end of the battle was just 1v1 Suicune vs Hydrapple
