hop for the character ask!! and questions 2, 12 & 23 💜
Thank you so much for the ask! Hop is my favourite swsh rival, so I'm excited to answer questions about him.
2. Favorite canon thing about this character?
Well, I love Hop's energy and enthusiasm. I also like how resilient he is in canon. No matter how many setbacks get thrown his way, Hop doesn't give up easily. I loved how part of his character arc is learning that he doesn't have to be exactly like his older brother.
12. What's a headcanon you have for this character?
I have some headcanons about Hop as a Professor-in-training. Mainly, he studies as an intern for Professor Kukui in Alola. Hop gets to learn all about pokemon moves in order to better understand the nature of Max and Gmax Moves.
As a full pledged professor, I also headcanon that Hop does research on the battle related aspects of Dynamaxing. He determines which Max/Gmax Moves are worth using over others. Hop also researches the connection between the Gigantamax Factor and Max Mushrooms.
23. Favorite picture of the character?
I have a screenshot of Hop from pokemon twilight wings that's my absolute fave. It's a picture of him and his Wooloo asleep in a flying taxi. They're so precious! Here's the picture:
