Line 2:
* [[Alas, Poor Scrappy]]: Even though he wasn't killed off, Hop, who is an [[Expy]] of [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Hau]] and represents EVERYTHING that's wrong with SwSh, became like very sympathetic for some IRL Poketrainers, who managed to defeat him for one last time.
* [[And the Fandom Rejoiced]]: The tutorial modes are optional and using a hands off model, which means that Pokemon veterans will be able to jump into the action and newcomers can learn how things work.
* [[Base Breaking Character]]: Depending on who you ask, Hop is either one of the best characters in the game with a strong character arc and a worthy rival for the PlayerCharacter, or one of the worst rivals in the series due to his endless praise of his big brother Leon, practically showing up every 5 minutes, being too similar to Hau right down to using some of his animations, and being the personification of the [[Sequel Difficulty Drop|hand-holding]] Pokemon games have taken since Gen 6.
* [[Creator's Pet]]/[[Pandering to The Base]]: Charizard was given the "Overrated/Creator's Pet" stone according to some gamers, since according to the November 6, 2019 leaks, he's the only remaining old gen starters (besides Pikachu) that made the cut. This even made some gamers hate the Gen 1 Starter, since they feel that Game Freak is ONLY pandering to Charizard fans (also, that Charizard is the company's favorite), and their favorite starter wasn't given the time of day.
** Game Freak referencing the whole Kanto region is also this. The only other region with as much Pokemon in this game is, strangely enough, Unova.
