>What was the purpose of this character?

To have a dragon specialist in the game

SM2 champion

>>32620005
Because having a uniquely designed character is more interesting than having a hiker or something challenge you

I forgot this character even existed. I'm not even sure what his name is.

He looks like a collosseum character.

he's the dragon type trial captain that never happened(assumption) like kahli was clearly meant for that modeled unused golf course.

someone at GF draw his retarded OC and felt the need to slap it into the game

His purpose was being an extra opponent for the title defense battles. What makes you think there's anything more than that? Does every Pokemon character need to fit within a familiar archetype or else it's suspicious?

>>32620098
Fuck off Ryuki

>>32620098
If there were more than one it wouldn't be, but he's literally the only unique one.

>This game has the 2nd most type-specialists in a single game (unless you consider the PWT which would put it 3rd)
>Not all are fightable post-game or even show up at the Battle Tree
>Some of the ones that do are Version locked
They can't keep getting away with this.

>>32620120
But him being the only one is the only reason he's memorable. If there were more unique opponents for title defense no one would care about them. Sort of like how Kahili is ironically one of the more memorable Elite Four members because she's the only one in SM to not appear until the end of the game.

The biggest crime is the Fairy Captain being an artist covered in paint and not being a normal type trainer with a Smeargle

Ilima and Mina should have been switched. What the fuck was GF thinking?

>>32620285
Probably worried about people calling them out for calling faggots a bunch of fairies.

>>32620291
That'd be silly. He's a dream boat...that happens to look similar to ribombee/hair fairy eyes and the Mina having komala shoes and pants...

>>32620005
You honestly never know with GameFreak. They are the king's of missed opportunity.

>>32620342
What's worse is that he had the potential to being a ridiculously tough trainer too with his passion for strategy and battle tech. He could've been a cool Battle Tree partner that specialized in powerful Fairy-type support.

>>32620029
>Uniquely designed character

He looks like a Yu-Gi-Oh! character trying to pass off as a Dragon specialist.

But like >>32620035
I can barely remember this dude, he just seemed to be thrown at the very last minute. You literally never see him elsewhere except as a random Challenger.

I'd really hate for him to become something major for the next game that might co-join Sun and Moon? His design barely convinces me to like him, I'm not sure how they would go from here either that would make me ever care for him.

>>32620005
Are we sure he isnt just a nod to some Japanese star/celebrity?

The problem is making him look so flashy of full of himself really only fits a character that's proven himself... having him just be a challenger instead of a champion, then losing just makes him feel like a joke.

>>32620889
But that's exactly it's same thing. You have to beat the elite four to be the champion or to challenge.

Giving edgelords/dragonfags a sort of representation.

>Uniquely designed character
As opposed the the trainer classes that are copypastas

>>32622773

Aw, well, I can't oppose to that.

>>32620005
He's what you might call a star

I would have accepted him being put in to be a type representative for the sake of representing each type if there was an ice type too

>>32620005
He was mostly to show that not all title defense challengers were going to be familiar faces.

>>32620098
Dragon trial has no captain. He is the dragon trial captain. Will appear in SM2, or stars or whatever.

>>32620005
I'm certain he and Kahili were suppose to be trial captains that got cut and repurposed to meet the deadline.
