Shut the front door.
Weeell, Goh sort of has the same skin color as Hop. Hmm...
He's been Hau'd. Hau was entirely absent during the Necrozma arc despite every island seeing the chaos.

If they misinterpreted that than that's kinda on them. The smart choice would be, since the league distracted from the Flare Arc, then next time the villain plot will be way before the league.
Besides, I don't think it's that. Like I said, there's four different stories in the SWSH games that they have to adapt in some way. Even if they avoid the postgame story there's still the Isle of Armor and the Crowned Tundra.

So curious about this episode because the summary says Ash and Go split up with Leon and Sonia respectively, so will they both meet the wolves at the same time or in separate instances?
Also it’ll feel so strange if they go through Postwick and don’t at least pass by Hop. It seems so odd to leave him out of this mini arc.

Go should definitely catch a Wooloo. It should have happened much earlier tbh
If they don't run into Hop it could be because he is already on his own journey. Possibly in other regions while competing in the PWC

What about Victor and/or Gloria? They live in Postwick too.

The MCs rarely ever appear if they aren’t on the main cast, especially the males. Hell even in Twilight Wings they only got a small cameo at the very end of the last episode.
Hop is way more likely but it’ll be strange if he doesn’t show up at all

Hey, no fair comparing a totally different series with this one. That was just coincidence.

Well what purpose does he even serve? He doesn't stand a chance against Ash at all and Goh already took the hero status from him, probably the same ending too with staying as Cerise's assistant
Hopp is just a rehash of Hau anyways

People who say Hop is a rehash of Hau clearly dont pay attention to the games dialouges lol
He had an entire arc about him that actually made sense for once and was done well
Hop >>>>>>>> Hau
Anyway, I expect this to be similar to the slumbering weald prologue from the games, fingers crossed that grookey is in the weald

Plus hop has a legendary.Hau's development was something I was looking forward to while playing s&m but nothing happened sadly.

I never understood Hop hate. He is a little basic, but he has more development than most other rivals and actually has a team that constantly changes, which is also much more fun than fighting the almost exact same team every time.

USUM Hau never showed any signs for feelings towards you-know-who, unlike SM Hau. He traded that off for a shinier story battle.

You mean that he replaced Pokemon? Or that his Pokemon evolved?

So why are we comparing Hop and Hau again? Cause the two can't really be compared despite strong similarities. And Hop is likely going to get the Hau treatment since well... Rivals haven't really been good in the anime since like DP with Paul and the Gladion-Ash rivalry was mixed. Could've potentially gotten a good one with Hugh but it was never meant to be.

Lol Hop and Hau aren’t similar in any way besides being rivals to the MC and being “friendly”. Hop is insanely cocky and Hau is way too carefree. If you played the games you know they are near completely different characters.
and being Leon’s younger brother and the dynamics that come with it are reasons enough of why he should appear. Hop shares the same goal as everyone else in the competition, and he has even more of a reason because he’s related to the Champion.

Don't think Hop is just another version of Hau but they share so many traits that I don't fully blame anyone for thinking they're too similar.
Technically both but I'm pretty sure they're referring to the first option.
