Gladion is one of my favorite characters in Pokemon Sun and Moon. For a young boy getting into "puberty", he's actually smart and good for his age. I also like how he still treated Lillie as a sister, like how a caring brother does. And when he took Type: Null, or, Sylvally, he only took it because he didn't want it to get hurt from his mother. He also still has the intentions about saving his mother, Lusamine, even after all the terrible things she had done. And after the mission of saving his Mother, he treats you like a good friend, after all the time he treated you like dirt Over all, Gladion is nice, and at the same time, *AWESOME*

[@z.z.4752]

Most of his team evolves by happiness

[@incrediblefrown1288]

i'd go so far as to suggest gladion's the best written character in the series. his motives are both simple and interesting: he's a sheltered brat who found something bad enough to wake up his moral compass. him only working through his problems in front of you makes sense in the sequence of events: skull is an aether foundation pawn, which gives him the ability to hide among them but not the ability to trust them. you and hau are the context he needs to think, because fighting you is the only time he has to talk to someone who doesn't work for his mom. his turn from enemy to ally is paced by how clear it is that you're a threat to aether. even the progress on whether or not he's willing to call you a friend is measured; it's not at the climax, but in the wind-down when he's actually had a chance to reflect. also, his theme fucking rules. that bass line is here to kick ass and chew gum. and everyone knows the most important part of a good character is a good theme song :v

I've searched in dozens of the comments, but it looks like no one noticed that this is actually a remix of the escape theme in Red/Blue Rescue Team. It's a pity that no one noticed it/knows it, because the reference is insanely good since Gladion himself is some sort of fugitive. So for this remix they basically sped it up to give that "fleeting" feeling to the song, and added some cool guitar notes to match Gladion's edgy but caring personality.

[@Janeator]

Alola has got to be the most underrated gen. It’s so overhated, when there was so much that was good about it. EDIT: this comment has got a lot of attention, and i’m here to say that 1 year later, while i do still see Alola as very underrated, you could argue Kalos is more underrated. I agree, however I think Kalos is more flawed than Alola. Though the reason why i think it’s also underrated is because of the potential i see in Kalos. Just imagine a Legends game in Kalos.

[@dubiousdeliquite6641]

Yea I never really got all the hate either The only design that I thought was bad was alolan dugtrio, and even then its based on a really cool concept that was just executed poorly, the battles in ultra sun and moon were actually pretty difficult, and it undeniably has the best plot of any pokemon game Gen 5 might be a close second but gen 7 has more likable characters... what is it about the gens with good stories being hated so much?

[@ternasco]

@@dubiousdeliquite6641 I agree xD

[@juanalfonsoblando4234]

Dubious Deliquite I agree with yah, mate. I started Pokemon in Gen 4 but started to love the series in Gen 5, which, at the time, was being lambasted to a whole degree. Now, I am glad that Gen 5’s getting the recognition it deserves, but it pains me to see Gen 7 getting the same treatment that Gen 5 got a couple years back. If I am being honest, out of any other mainline game, SM had the best plot, while Gen 7, as a whole, had the best cast of characters, the right difficulty (especially USUM), a good post-game (USUM), and a breathtaking region with amazingly-designed pokemon. Gen 7, while not flawless, is one of my most favorite generations of Pokemon. Let’s hope Gen 7 gets the light of day.

[@dubiousdeliquite6641]

Juan Alfonso Blando yea, honestly the only major flaws ive seen about gen 7 that I can agree with are: Rotom dex, while a novel idea, was extremely annoying in usum since he never stopped talking And that the games have relatively less replay value than others in the series due to how much you are stopped by the npcs for dialogue, which can be annoying if you are playing it a second time while already knowing the story An argument I really dont get though is that people say alola is too linear. How exactly is it any more linear than the other games? In the other games you were still set on a pretty specific series of routes that you had to move through, and they almost always only had one way out that wasnt blocked by an hm that you dont have when you first go there The only time I remember an instance of having a choice between how you get to the next town is in gen 1 when you can either go through cycle road or by the coast

[@juanalfonsoblando4234]

Dubious Deliquite Yeah, I agree with you. The Rotom was annoying in USUM, lol, but I found a way to speed it up. Just hold the lower screen. That’s it. It took me a while to figure it out. Other than that, you’re right, the Gen 7 games have the least replay value, as it puts the most emphasis on story, which is a good thing. Should’ve added a skip button, though. In Pokemon games, linearity is associated with the order of gyms you wanna take, so Gens 1-3 have that appeal (can’t remember Gen 4 since it’s been a while) . Honestly, I really don’t mind linearity, as it, in some way, gives the developers an opportunity to develop the story; for example, Unova and Alola were linear, yet they have the most mature stories in Pokemon, while Johto and Hoenn were non linear, hence why their story is not that good. I mean, yeah sure, we can get a game that is non-linear yet has a good story, but so far, we haven’t gotten any of that yet. Regardless, Gen 7 was great.

Looking back on this game as the next one prepares to launch, I think Gladion was the most versatile and interesting rivals since N from gen 5. He starts out super edgy and hostile and weird, but becomes more and more sympathetic as the game goes on. You eventually really understand where he's coming from and how he got to be where he is now, and I genuinely felt for him by the end of the game. What I really like from a storytelling standpoint is that Gladion is basically the "edgy misunderstood" archetype, but they actually explore how resolving that "misunderstood" aspect changes the rest of his personality - as more of the heroes begin to understand where he comes from and what he's actually all about, they treat him differently, and he begins to realize that he still has a place in the world around him and maybe _doesn't_ need to keep everyone at arm's length. Everyone needs to be understood to a certain extent, and even the edgiest of the edgelords aren't exempt from that. Gladion's character arc embodies that: he's one of the characters that changes the most dramatically from beginning to end, but it doesn't really feel forced or campy. It's sweet, it's inspiring, and it's overall just really good writing, especially for a pokemon game. (Because remember, these are also the games that thought "I LIKE WATER LET'S FLOOD THE EARTH" was a valid motivation for a main villain.)

[@TheBohobemeister]

Archie didn't want to flood the earth because he liked water. He didn't even want to flood it. He just wanted to expand the sea for Pokémon. He was an eco terrorist. Same with Maxie, except he wanted to expand the land for humans.

[@SilverOakleaf51]

Yeah fair enough, I guess he was closer to eco terrorism, which is a little better. I was kind of just making a joke there, they did at least _try_ to give him something resembling a motivation. I still stand by the idea that the argument behind his entire life work could have been pretty easily countered by the average fourth grader though. Great as gen 3 was, the Pokemon games' writing has improved pretty dramatically over the last few generations.

[@espeonix7478]

Another reason why I like his character is because he has a coming into leadership arc but instead of suddenly being the perfect leader he still has flaws. ( he still has quite the temper and rushes into things when he gets angry )
