Most Of The Time Hau Is Sunshine Boy And Gladion Is Edgy Boy - Tumblr Posts

So Hau Pokemon-Sun-and-Moon is really interesting character, in a way I haven’t seen many people talk about. In fandom, he usually gets boiled down to sweet, happy-go-lucky boy. And while yeah, he’s very much THAT, there’s an extra more complex side to him and he gets a nice, surprisingly subtle (for Pokemon, lol) arc addressing this I really enjoyed.

Hau IS that sunny cheery character, but it’s pretty obvious he’s using his wholy sunny positive good-vibes thing as an avoidance tactic. In particular, it seems to be a way to avoid trying. Because if you don’t take anything seriously, you don’t have to worry about failing. If you fail, you can just be like ‘Whoops, well, I was just goofing about anyway!’

Gladion pretty much immediately calls him out on it the first time they meet (context: Hau just lost a battle against Gladion)

Rest under cut.
