Pokemon Theory: Hassel, Drayton, and "Sinister Hands"

Hey guys! Before the pokemon presents starts tomorrow, I wanted to hash out some observations I’ve made on the scarvi dlc and the implications they have on pokemon lore as a whole. I don’t have much of a big hook to draw anyone in, though, so let’s just jump into it.

#my personal headcanon is that hassel is the descendant of one of the heroes of unova #and that's why everyone wants him so bad #but I don't have much evidence for that one #pokemon #pokemon sv #pokemon hassel #pokemon drayton #pokemon theory #indigo disk dlc

apparently keiran has multiple pokemon from drayton’s team plastered on his wall so that he can take notes on how to beat them

#nobody at blueberry uses malamar or Hitmonlee either #he is blatantly targeting JUST drayton #the beef runs deeper than I expected #pokemon #pokemon sv #pokemon dlc #pokemon keiran #pokemon drayton

Hassel to his students:

Hassel to Larry, apparently:

#I WASN’T EXPECTING THEM TO HAVE SO MUCH BEEF #pokemon #pokemon sv #pokemon hassel #pokemon larry #the elite four is in shambles

galar championship: an extremely public event. massive budget for everything. everyone involved in it is a local celebrity

paldea championship: elite four is the champion's girlfriend, a child, a man working double shifts, and a nepotism hire. they fight in one room in the middle of nowhere. half their budget was stolen by a random teenager and they didn't even notice

#everyone in the sv elite four is garbage at their jobs and that's honestly what's so fun about them #pokemon #pokemon sv #pokemon sv spoilers
