So let me get this straight, after having played Pokemon SWSH, you're saying that Hop chose to be a professor's assistant? With how so many rivals are given these roles at the end, there is absolutely no way that they're UNDERSTAFFED!! Like my guy could've been anything else but the narrative chose to give him that position. Personally, I just don't think it aligns with his ambitions, he likes to train Pokemon and he likes to fight. He would've done a great job partaking in gym trials, perhaps he could've worked with Raihan.
