Marnie and Sonia's personality is great in here

Man I hope the author do these characters justice, especially Hop! And glad to see he hasn't changed

I'm seriously looking forward to how he goes about this story since literally I'm just glad to see Sword/Shield actually be involved in the plot

(And hopefully moving forward since we were such bystanders!)
I hope that unlike Sun/Moon where they took away Lillie's development, we get to also still see Hop's and Sonia's development (I think Bede is already a given here seeing how he's an ass right now)
@SapphireShine I have a feeling that it's also Leon who endorsed him. But he probably endorsed him much earlier than Sword and Shield. I mean the crowd is only saying that it's the first time he endorsed 2 at the same time, not that it's his very first time endorsing someone.
