- Since a lot of people typically avoid spoilers around the game's release, I always like to wait a bit and then release the supercut! Pokémon Sword / Shield was a super fun journey and I'm excited to make more content for the game. :D

Hop is the quintessential second child. And it's actually really tragic that we don't really get to flesh out his character but I really do feel like he's the best rival we've had in a long time.
The game glosses over it (because it's pretty clearly an incomplete game, but w/e) but Hop sees a ton of pretty classic parental neglect. Like, none of his mom's or his grandmother's dialogue talks about him. There are only pictures of Leon on the shelves and walls.
He's got big shoes to fill and his personality is pretty consumed by trying to disappoint everyone by not being the Champion at age 10 like older brother was.
AT AGE TEN.
After losing to Bede he starts literally showing signs of clinical depression and we can't do anything about it other than worsen it by STOMPING HIM AGAIN.
We kind of just crushed his hopes and dreams to the point that he _fucking quit and decided to be a Professor instead_ and we don't really get to talk about it at all. Because the story's over.
Seriously. He owns 33% of the Legendaries in the region (kind of sad for another reason) and he fucking quit being a trainer because we beat his ass over and over again.
You know who Leon gave a Charmander to? Not his fucking younger brother.
He probably _could_ beat his older brother by the time we meet him last! BUT WE'LL NEVER KNOW. Because this depressed child got steamrolled over and over by life. Probably would have become the champion if it weren't for the fact that he was the unlucky bastard that happened to do his Gym challenge the one year all of the sweaty overachievers like you, Marnie, and Bede decided to compete.
Having a sad backstory does not equal a good character
@@mickys8065 I'm not saying it's a good character. I'm saying he's got good framework but shit execution because he, like the rest of Sword/Shield, is pretty obviously incomplete.
@@PhantomJavelin "I really feel like he is the best rival we have had in a while" I read that as him being a good character, since I stopped paying attention to Pokémon after black and white 2 I guess the rivals before this game sucked then if hop is the best in a while?
Hau was a better rival in USUM, change my mind
Micky S alright so let me tell you about the rivals you missed in between Black and White 2 and Sword and Shield.
X/Y- Shauna, Tierno, Serena/Calem, and some other “rival” (I forgot his name.) All of them are friendly, but you barely battle Shauna, Tierno, and the other rival. Serena and Calem are also friendly but fight you from time to time. Shauna, Tierno, and the other rival are honestly just bad, while Serena/Calem are just ok.
Sun/Moon/Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon- Hau and Gladion. In my opinion, they are both great rivals with lots of development, and are big improvements from X and Y. Hau is a friendly rival while Gladion kind of is and kind of isn’t. What I mean by that is that Gladion isn’t really nice to you, but you become friends overtime
“at some point you have to run out of white guys in tracksuits, right?”
have you seen England?
seightyx he defo hasnt 🤣
*remembers that this WHOLE game is based on england*
Pretty sure it's based on Scotland. England just rains all the time ;)
Joseph Zoltan its based on all of the UK pretty much
The Galar map was based on england
As my younger sister put it when the in-game interviewers asked her and Hop what it was like to be endorsed by the champion:
"Whoa whoa, *I* was endorsed by the champion."
"Hop was endorsed by his *brother* ."
This is ACCURATE
*NEPOTISM!*
💯! Exactly

Dang bruh you got a smart sister!
alpha not ever realizing that he was actually stealing leons move and was effectively doing a cringe ass naenae before each gym battle is hilarious
Pretty sure he was joking about that
I, uh, think that was sarcasm

@@Norheath Thank you for returning after 7 months to correct your fault
A skill many do not possess
@@thecheesen honestly if you wouldn't have replied I probably never would have
It’s so funny watching Hop slowly realizing he’s not the protagonist
Me: walks into the Master Dojo.
Hop: Oh hello.
Me: One thing, I WANTED ONE THING TODAY.
Kai legend 14 What about Gigantymaxing KubFu?
Sketchbook Online Not as important
"Actually, Majesty, I am no hero.. but perhaps you are a hero instead!"
(Songs totally out of context)
What I expected: Hau
What I got: a 10 year old boy rethinking his life choices, going through depression, wondering whether he is good enough, all while I destroy everything he ever loves with my overleveled team.
He took the champion title, humiliated him in front of a crowd and possibly cut the champions family fund all because he stole his pose
*I like it*
Makes sense
i woulda just killed him
Dont steal alphas thing
Plot twist: Alpha actually stole the pose from Leon.
There. Now at 777 likes.
The whole chairman rose thing is bizarre, because the plot would totally work if they just... took out the millenia. Say that the energy crisis is already here, and that they've been covering up the problems it has been causing, and they will run out of power in just a handful of years. Suddenly, his character makes sense.
Yeah, he no longer looks like an insane old guy who can't wait even a second. Then it's "Oh I was trying to prevent the energy crisis from getting worst and things got out of hand" And it makes sense! Does it make Leons character look worst sense he's putting the championship battle before the crisis? Yes, but I'd say that would make you want to beat him more.
@@masked_undead539 also makes the blackouts and quakes all the more serious. As instead of them just being glossed over and chalked up to Rose fucking around, they're instead symptoms of the impending crisis. Like if they just put in five more minutes of thought into the story, it could've been better.
But that also would have meant he would have been a sympathetic villain, who actually has a reason for the things he does. Can't have THAT in a kids game! Just where would this world end up, if the ten year olds of the world actually learned, that the world isn't black and white.
It gets even dumber considering the world they are in. In our world that would be a problem, there world have creatures that can power an entire city by just tickling them. They dont need to go into lovecraft color out of space stuff to get electricity in there world.
@@Tatokat A villain doesn't have to by sympathetic to be relatable. Chairman Rose could have been relatable by wanting to fix an energy crisis but non-sympathetic by him being willing to sacrifice the immediate wellbeing of countless people and Eternatus itself.
That yamask evolution had to be a prank by Gamefreak. No way they expected a kid to have a Yamask on their team, battle a wild Pokemon in Dusty Bowl with it, rush back to the Pokemon Center after taking at least 49 hp of damage without fainting and accidentally pass under that one specific arc
I think they know by now the game will be data-mined and there are a dozen videos day of release that show exactly what to do. Kids know how to google, so they made it annoying instead.
I mean there's probably some lore or something involving celtic snakes and the British countryside but STILL. I purposefully sought out Yamask once I realised it was in the game and had NO clue what to do in the slightest.

@cryolitegem Oh f*cking absolutely, closest thing he would do to a move would be flapping his wings just enough to make Scorbunny and Grookey or Sobble fall over.
The joke about there being no frame drops at 0:16 aged so damn well if you compare S&S to S&V

SV is fun, so like, its still embarassing the worse looking game is BETTER than the one that looks better.

This game’s story feels like they wrote a synopsis and were on their way of fleshing it out and then the higher ups just suddenly barged in and said writing time is over
And one of my biggest problem with the game as a whole - it's not a particularly interesting story, but so much emphasis is placed on it as a whole
@@Superboologan1I hate how poor the story is cause Galar as a region is so cool and the setup is there, this could’ve been such a banger story but they just did nothing with either the region or story

9:27 The one-hand option is for accessibility...so that people who can't use both hands (due to injury, disability, illness, etc) can play the game too.
This is actually a common (but not as commonly granted) accessibility request for videogames!
Other normally requested accessibility features include subtitles/CC, blind mode/color filters, controls customization, phobia-related options (like drowining animations or less scary spiders), dyslexia-friendly fonts, to mention a few.

The ridiculous thing with Piers is in B&W2 they had a gym leader, Roxie, who was also a singer and in the overworld you’d hear her sing/spell Pokémon. No reason for Piers to not have any form of simulated singing nor any music.

Honestly for one of these rival characters, i want it to at least feel like like he is trying to beat you
Like, have him fill out his party early game, have him change what pokemon he challenges you with based on who was in your party the last time you fought, have it so that his pokemon level roughly matches the level of your pokemon because he was grinding that tall grass same as you
I want the rival to feel like a challenge who is keeping up with you every step of the way
One thing that would be really nice is that if you lost to him, the game didnt have you retry the fight but the game just kept moving
Fangame makers: WRITE IT DOWN
They did a lot of that with Nemona which I like
@@CallMeVidd Nemona was a good mix of competitive rivals from the older gens and rivals that are just basically your friends from the newer ones. She’s your friend but she also wants to destroy you. She really likes battling you, but doesn’t have an existential crisis like Hop when she doesn’t win, cause you’re challenging her and she absolutely loves that.
The entire Yamask section had me laughing my ass off because both Yamask lines are my favorite pokemon besides Chansey lol
I went from hating hop and thinking he was annoying to being so sad when I took away his hopes and dreams of becoming champion.
I continue to think he's annoying to this date. Maybe because I'm a naturally competitive person who sees going all out as a sign of respect, and don't see it fit to feel bad for rivals.
I think hop was pretty annoying, but in my opinion he’s the almost realistic 12 year old kid as a Pokémon rival, exited but queit annoying. I also like how the game shines light on hop for character, but the ending of is just kinda bland (not gonna spoil)
@Nezhat Hau was one of my favourites. He was so laid back and a friend, it broke my heart whenever he got sad :(
I was trying to be as nice as possible to hop from the beginning BC he was really nice and he wasn’t mean like half of the other rivals,but when I found out he was depressed from me beating him every single time he challenges me made me have a soft spot for him and feel bad for him 🥲✋✨
@Nezhat you said HOP wrong

I was annoyed because we never got to see Hop's look after his defeat.

I am a Hop defender. Not because he is a good rival, he is kinda annoying, but I think he has the best character development out of any rival. Most rivals just disappear after you fight them for the last time, but he takes his final defeat and makes something of himself (working in the lab). I liked that. But I will still admit that he is annoying.
Same.
Every rival is annoying
I think it was a bad move from pokemon. His development was that he stopped copying Leon to finally choose his own path... And copy Sonia? No, thats not well done
@@rpjoca4644 Better than "I hate weak pokemon" *uses the same pokemon after 5 loses*
@@notscorchingsands9718 Worse than many other rivals tho
Personally, I like to think that the reason that Hop will always pick the starter that gives him a type disadvantage is for the power move of beating the crap out of you with a pokemon that is weak to you. And then he's shocked that you're aware that water will put fire out.
he's just a saiyan, the more he gets beat down the more he grows, by the time gen10 comes around he'll be the strongest on the universe.
@@onii447 ssssuuuuuuuure it would be true if the strongest pokemon trainer would lose to bug catcher joey

Ok but hear me out, Leon is the embodiment of a 5-year-old beating the elite 4 with a full team of legendaries thinking “I’m so good at pokémon!” after barely beating the champion using a full team of level 88 legendaries
Leon is that person who shows up to the battle spot with a full (probably hacked) shiny legendary team and loses 3 - 0
oddly specific but i would say being undefeated would make someone cocky and arrogant. Sometimes i myself get caught up in the moment and can be like "get fucked!" or if i dominate my friend in pokemon (because im a nerd who spend way to much of my childhood to the point i can name any pokemon if i see it) "haha you cant beat me"

The Australian guy made an interesting video about this game. Radical soda I think. Also facinating
I know we all like to make fun of the character motivations for Rose, and honestly I think it is warranted, but his actions get a lot creepier if you look at them as manipulation tactics. Like, why the hell would he be reacting to a problem that won't rise up until 1000 years later? Because if the "great Chairman Rose" was able to stop the Darkest Day from ever happening while he is in office, he would be regarded as a hero for centuries to come. It was never about the people of Galar, he was just a slimy and manipulative billionaire who only cared about his self-image.
The reason he interrupted the Champion battle? Because just the day before, Leon disobeyed him. Leon told Rose that they could wait until AFTER the battle even though Rose wanted to do it right then and there. And the entire time throughout the game Rose has this persona of innocence while at the same time talking down to the characters like they're stupid children that are in way over their heads. He blames Leon for not following him, he blames the overheating reactor on us because we just "wouldn't listen to reason". He abuses Leon, the player, Bede, and even Oleana. Rose is an absolute creep, and I will die on this hill.
Or maybe I'm just giving the writers way too much credit on this, but hey it's food for thought.
Underrated comment go brrrr
rose gives me bad vibes, even in the new show. he has that self-absorbed slimy person vibe. i didn't have any ig, reason to think that, so, ty for clarifying that it is very possible he does indeed, have bad vibes.
On the other hand, he was pretty damn close to achieving his goal, but Eternatus said: “ayo, you cant control a Dynamax Dragon check!”

@frogcupcakes Licht Mond also said this, but animation makes the scene more emotional, immersive, and (arguably most importantly) entertaining. animation would also enable the audience to get a read on these characters through their body language and expressions. it gives the viewer something to look at beyond words on a screen (and a still image). imagine if the scene in SUMO where the mc and lillie play the flutes was a slideshow as well? it's a jarring change in story-telling, and (for such an expensive game and profitable franchise) it's cheap and lazy. when i think of cutscenes, i think of unique camera angles, dynamic expressions and body language.
if we had gotten to actually *see* leon struggling and hesitating to keep up with rose's far-out thinking, and if we could *see* rose being unhinged rather than some uncomfortable amalgam of crazy and composed (which can be done correctly, but i don't think is done [if at all] in swsh. most of the blame can fall on the game's overall incredibly weak storyline and writing) then it adds to the immersion and tension of the game. slideshows can be done incredibly well (such as in the introduction to Undertale), but i dont think they suit (supposedly) climactic scenes like the one where it's used in SWSH. especially not in a 3-D game where cutscenes are used elsewhere throughout.
I'd say they did a great job with the slideshow but it would have been better if they just animated it
@frogcupcakes I agree that It wouldnt be that big of a change considering how laughable this game's plot is but its still such a lack of effort and its just so utterly nonsensical since the game has been using animated cutscenes for literaly every other moment
Oh Alpha. The training wheels don’t come off! They *never* come off.

But you can skip the catching tutorial tho
@@MariOmor1 How
@@sceptile7581 the catching tutorial comes the second time you get poke balls. If you caught even 1 Pokémon with the first 10 you get, Leon will have dialogue that mentions you having another Pokémon and you get to skip the catching tutorial.

The same thing happened to me and my Sobble. I messed up. After it evolved I shoved it in a box so it can’t torture my eyes anymore. It sits there to this day.

The foreshadowing for Scarlet/Violet
“Who needs type advantages when you have a gun!?!” He does have a point there.
The fact that Hop beat every Gym leader first try and constantly talks about winning despite losing every single battle with the player, made me have a headcanon that Hop is just going easy on you when you fight
That is kinda of a good headcanon
He apparently loses whenever he fightd Gordie/Melony due to his depression bout.
Or Maybe because he's the champions little brother the gym leaders are going easy on him
@@notaneboy who knows.
yknow, it felt like every pokemon on his team got weaker after he caught it. zamazemta was a munch harder battle before hop had it.
My headcancon is that the reason they shake hands for so long, is so that everyone can take pictures
this is literally my favorite Pokémon game purely because of the ridiculous character dialogue, thank you for making it even funnier bro😭
I think Hop might just be depressed about his lack of any skills regarding any sort of squabble between pokemon so he is absolutely helpless in battles which makes him rely on lying to himself with stuff like "Backed into a corner? This will just make my victory even better."
I still hate hop
Makes him kinda relatable ngl.
You know what I liked most about this game?
You get to beat Hop so many times that he finally loses his will to become the Champion because he realizes he just can't...
Not gonna lie I felt some pity when he was all depressed when Bede talked crap then wiped the floor with him.
