Could’ve added more fuckboi chains and spikey gauntlets, or maybe a pair of leather half gloves? But other than that, hell yeah. Cheers Gladion for getting me into helix rings lmfao
This dude is seriously one of the most adorable badass edgelords to ever be seen in the video game universe. Literally tho. That smile on victory road is way too adorable.
@@leavonderlieth5781 I was unironically kinda gay for him during the 10th grade. Looking back, holy shit I had abominable taste in other guys, bro literally looks like a humanized emo DoodleBob
Even if the video is old and some people might already know this but! In both his encounter and battle theme. It sounds almost like Run Away, Fugitives and Escape from the Snow. It makes sense for Gladion since he ran away from Aether to protect Type: Null
So I guess the game pulled a Black and White and made Gladion the REAL rival, like how they made N feel like the real rival. Hau, Cheren, and Bianca are more like friends than rivals, with the exception of Cheren, as he was pretty friendly with you, but his attitude about battling made him seem a bit closer to N in terms of rivalry. This just just my opinion, of course.
I don't what was it, but after his battle before Victory Road, that smile fucking killed me. I wasn't prepared to see him like that, and I had chills, yet so happy.
Erik Valiente a person or thing competing with another for the same objective or for superiority in the same field of activity. Gladion fits this definition
Dark Ace Gladion doesn't really fit into to this. The first time he battles you is to make his null stronger. the second time is because you made him mad for losing cosmog. Finally the last time he battles you as a way to say thank you for rescuing his mom and sis.
Pedro Flores You also fight to get stronger, do you not? Otherwise, you can't advance in the story. Therefore, you are competing against him for the same objective. Also, when you're defending your title as Champion, Gladion is one of the randomly generated characters you could end up fighting. You're both fighting for the Champion role. In both cases, you and Gladion rival each other.
In my opinion, most encounter themes are better than the actual battle themes. For example, Blue/Green/Gary's encounter theme really gave off those arrogant douchebag vibes and Silver's just spelled trouble. I'd always stop in the middle of the dialogue to let them loop for a couple of minutes. And it's not just the rivals, either. Alder's overall encounter theme was awesome and Cynthia's right before the battle... well, do I really have to say anything about that?
gladion and N are my favorites! the depth of their characters have always stuck out to me. not to mention, great battle themes! they’re kind of similar if you think about it. both of them are the sons (well, I know N was adopted but still) of the main villain
I love Gladion. I don't know why I'm so drawn to characters that fall into _this_ overall archetype. 'Cause, it's not exactly the easiest character type to work with. But for some reason I absolutely love it.
Gladion is the kind of kid who'd watch Happy Tree Friends and think it makes him cool Source: I was one of those kids. I also liked other """edgy""" """subversive""" shit like Eversion (a puzzle platformer that starts out as saccharine as Happy Tree Friends starts out but slowly turns into a horror game the further you play it, ironically I never played it until like 8 years later) which admittedly was a lot more creative than Happy Tree Friends
Ariq ze gamer Only one battle with him has him as a team skull member. But even the grunts say he's not a part of them. I don't know what part of the game you're at so I'll stop here
He quit sometime between the first time and second time you battle him. And the fact that Gladion has high authority in the Aether Foundation kinda disturbs me....
Alex And josie i would be emo too if my mom was a fucking maniac and planned on destroying the whole region. He lived 2 years only with a hateful pokemon that he befriended later on. thats seriously fucked up
this game is probably going to have: music quality better than gen 4 story and characters better than black and white a region more diverse than hoenn hype and sales better than red and blue and yellow and to top it all off the pokemon will be the best in the series
TWO rivals per game now.....awesome call on that choice GameFreak. 👍One for those who prefer the soft, lovable type of rivals, and this kind like our boy Gladian for those who prefer a more edgier rival.👌
Heres one reason why i love this character The Aether paradise revisit gave lillie and gladion a lot of character development in the plotline and made them understandable. plus, who dosent love the edginess that gladion has?
Crossing the path of Guzma, Lusamine are some of the highlights of this game ( in my opinion ). But encountering Gladion was the first MAJOR one ! It's the moment that made me said to myself : This game kicks ass !!! Seriously, I started a new game of Pokemon Sun after all these years, and reencountering Gladion gives me chicken skin ! If I recall, no other Pokemon game gave me such a feeling...
rival [rahy-vuh l] noun 1. a person who is competing for the same object or goal as another, or who tries to equal or outdo another; competitor. 2. a person or thing that is in a position to dispute another's preeminence or superiority: Gladion fits those. At least, as far as any Pokemon rival is in a position to dispute the protagonist's superiority.
by that same definition, wouldn't Hau also be considered a real rival too? While Hau wasn't super competitive, he still did try to outdo the protagonist none the less. This is mostly evident at the end game where he battles you before the league to decide who should face the elite four. He also battles you over the title of champion too.
to those who picked popplio, was Silvally's current type Grass also when you fought Gladion? I just wondered if it was random, based on the first in your party or whether it mattered on your starter.
Captain Poketrash most likely. I'm trying to finish up the direct remnants of Sun's post game before moving on to playing Moon, where I'll be picking Litten this time around and see if it's true for myself or not. but the fact that numerous people have been saying it I guess so.
I always get hurt when I listen to Gladion's tracks while cleaning. I got cut to his battle theme, and I slipped and hit my foot on my bed frame to this one.
I really hope they'll release Gladion's hoodie as official merch
Yes!
Soaring Latios i know right
Lavenderstar The Dragon Yeah, that's why I think it's likely :)
So far, they've already shown that Sun/Moon will have AMAZING merch
Soaring Latios I WOULD DEFINITELY GET THAT
Soaring Latios Then we can all be emo!
I love how Gamefreak said that his design was based off of edgy middle school children that are emo's in the strategy guide.
They hit it perfectly.
Could’ve added more fuckboi chains and spikey gauntlets, or maybe a pair of leather half gloves? But other than that, hell yeah. Cheers Gladion for getting me into helix rings lmfao
@@wadayatalkinbeet then it wouldn't be child friendly but okay
@@enanan4 To be fair for a game made for children, Sun and Moon were already pretty dark 🤣
@@wadayatalkinbeet IKR?
"I know we aren't friends. But we aren't enemies anymore, either. Keep winning. Maybe I'll see you again if you do."
That quote is awesome
They’re rivals through and through
I honestly love this theme. Even more than his battle one!
That's exactly how I feel about the B2W2 rival.
Kübel350 True, he has a great encounter theme.
Isaiah Scott same
Same
This dude is seriously one of the most adorable badass edgelords to ever be seen in the video game universe.
Literally tho. That smile on victory road is way too adorable.
I bet that's why he's got so many fangirls..
Maybe you mean the *only* adorable badass edgelord, that's why he's special
He's got a problem with right hand, though.
@@leavonderlieth5781 I was unironically kinda gay for him during the 10th grade. Looking back, holy shit I had abominable taste in other guys, bro literally looks like a humanized emo DoodleBob
This aged well.
The scene where this plays in Aether Paradise is legitimately peak Pokemon.
It was man.
which scene
@@JadeiteMcSwag where gladion runs at guzma
fr tho it was perfect
Even if the video is old and some people might already know this but! In both his encounter and battle theme. It sounds almost like Run Away, Fugitives and Escape from the Snow. It makes sense for Gladion since he ran away from Aether to protect Type: Null

Yo, you're from boo berts stream of moon, glad i ran into ya have a nice day.
ChaospireX 12 Yeah. That's where I'm from. Can't wait to play the game for myself though.
Yep, imma try and get sun before janurary because of munclax with snorlium Z
Quality Arsenic hey I'm here too what happened to BOO BERT and his twitter account?
Quality Arsenic Gladion is your rival, but he acts like an anti hero
Me- *walks into a room with this playing on my phone*
Random person- Get out.
Me- Ah, I see you're a man of awesomeness as well.
i'm aware this is 4 years later but this is such a bloody hilarious take on an overused joke that i can't help but compliment it
I don't what was it, but after his battle before Victory Road, that smile fucking killed me.
I wasn't prepared to see him like that, and I had chills, yet so happy.
Gladion's named after a sword huh....I guess he really is edgy...
I'll go kill myself now
Crimson Blurs bruh lel
actually a flower but it's name means sword in another language.
also Lololol 😂
He's named after the Gladiolus genus of flowers.
Definitely the new Silver.
Aaron Hernandez FINALLY A BADASS RIVAL AND NOT A FRIENDLY ONE!
Ciolatte badass doesn't always mean good. But in his case, it sure does!
Ciolatte He's actually a nice guy in the games
He's actually a nice guy
PikaPlayzHD Even better. Nice yet serious, good combo.
Honestly Gladion's encounter theme is just as cool as his battle theme
This is the most Megaman X/Classic/Zero/Battle Network/Star Force song I've ever heard since Hugh from Black and White 2.
ThirdWheelyScooter or ZX!
We don't speak of zx
I hear Megaman X, and then the synth and drums sound more like Z and ZX
I knew it, it's a almost sound like Hugh's theme!
Battle Network/Star Force doesn't do rock man (no pun intended).
[sets this song as his ringtone and poses like Gladion every time it rings]
[you get strange looks from people who have no idea what you're doing and why]
Shiny Mega Rayquaza, YES.
that gives me an idea....
Evan Williams, what’s your idea?
*vibrates hand so fast that phone falls into a drain*
Crap
I dunno about anyone else but I think Gladion is now my absolute favorite rival, even surpassing Silver.
Same...even though I didn't realize he was even a rival at all until I saw this video title just now. And I beat the Elite 4 earlier today...
same! best rival!
Same lol
SAME
I absolutely love Gladion and Silver but Hugh gotta be the best ngl
Yes, I do know this is a 5 years old comment
I KNEW HE WAS THE REAL RIVAL
his theme is amazing to match his cocky attitude
do read the definition of rival
Erik Valiente
a person or thing competing with another for the same objective or for superiority in the same field of activity.
Gladion fits this definition
Dark Ace Gladion doesn't really fit into to this. The first time he battles you is to make his null stronger. the second time is because you made him mad for losing cosmog. Finally the last time he battles you as a way to say thank you for rescuing his mom and sis.

In both cases, you and Gladion rival each other.
People complaining about this it being his battle theme, it makes more sense for this to be his encounter theme because of the moments it's played
this is better than his battle theme
William Salas I find it funny that it is.
Thought it was the battle theme until I read your comment. Actually fits very well for a battle theme.
It does XD
William Salas IKR
William Salas But I love his battle theme.
When your encounter theme is way better than your battle theme.
In my opinion, most encounter themes are better than the actual battle themes. For example, Blue/Green/Gary's encounter theme really gave off those arrogant douchebag vibes and Silver's just spelled trouble. I'd always stop in the middle of the dialogue to let them loop for a couple of minutes. And it's not just the rivals, either. Alder's overall encounter theme was awesome and Cynthia's right before the battle... well, do I really have to say anything about that?
Team skull. ._.
no
When your encounter theme is better than both your battle theme AND its smash remix
Just like Hugh’s hahaha 😄
gladion and N are my favorites! the depth of their characters have always stuck out to me. not to mention, great battle themes! they’re kind of similar if you think about it. both of them are the sons (well, I know N was adopted but still) of the main villain
Do you think because Gladion is your rival that his Silvally will be the type that opposes your starter.
tooncrafter123 hey thats a pretty good idea
tooncrafter123 True but Gladion first used Type:Null
That'd be pretty sick.... or Nintendo could go down the XY route and give him one you 're good against :/
+JHamb Serena had the one good against you. You're thinking of Shauna, which is Hau in this game.
+SacredYinZekrom dont you mean an slightly better Shauna ?
I love Gladion.
I don't know why I'm so drawn to characters that fall into _this_ overall archetype. 'Cause, it's not exactly the easiest character type to work with.
But for some reason I absolutely love it.
You're not the only person.. because _same_
I know we’re not friends
But we’re not enemies anymore
God I love that line😍
I'm glad Gladion is the real rival.... I guess you could also say I'm GLADion! Ha! kill me.
I liked it
JHamb I liked it too
Of course bro! :)
Well played 👏
Silver The Rival Hahahahah xD
I can't explain why exactly, but Gladion is my favorite character in Sun and Moon.
Fun fact, this was remade after Run Away Fugitives in PMD BRT, so you are actually listening to the remix of a mystery dungeon theme
It's more of a leitmotif than anything, his song is mostly original as far as I can tell, with that one leitmotif
I love this little emo shit
He's not a "little emo shit" he's an awesome edgelord.
but we still love him anyways :'))))
I love this even more than the battle theme. Has a more dramatic feel it it. I would've loved this to play in a final battle with him.
Dang, I completely forgot this theme was a thing! It's so good!
Well done gamefreak! Totally getting some Hugh vibes
Didn't expect another TØP fan here but ||-//
Hugh and Gladion are top tier rivals.
I much prefer this to his actual battle theme.
Christian sharpia IKR!
"So, here are the Pokémon Sun and Moon logos on this green screen I'm using to make this pose."
the most amazing part is Gladion Confronts Guzma and this music plays
Gladion is the kind of kid who'd watch Happy Tree Friends and think it makes him cool
Source: I was one of those kids. I also liked other """edgy""" """subversive""" shit like Eversion (a puzzle platformer that starts out as saccharine as Happy Tree Friends starts out but slowly turns into a horror game the further you play it, ironically I never played it until like 8 years later) which admittedly was a lot more creative than Happy Tree Friends
I love how its a rock and popish variant of Lillie's Theme, while Lusamine's is a more feminine version of both. Well played!
Wait, Gladion is a rival?
Aqua Jet aw that's dope.
Aqua Jet actually Hau is also considered a rival according to the website
So Two Rivals in this game
***** which isn't a bad thing considering BW had the best story... until now... Sun and Moon has actually managed to beat it somehow!
no one dies...
I guess... I never really considered him my rival, but I guess he does become one toward the end since he wants to beat you so badly.
UGH MY ACHING BLOOD
MY SWORD HAND TWITCHES
V-raptor WHAT IS THIS MEME AND CAN I GIVE IT A COOKIE
ELRITCH SMACKDOWN
SUCH ARE THE WHIMS OF FATE
MY DARKNESS WAS DARKER THAN YOURS
This music just keeps getting better and better oh my god. So hyped!
so Gladion is your rival and a team skull memeber?? Damn....
Ariq ze gamer Only one battle with him has him as a team skull member. But even the grunts say he's not a part of them. I don't know what part of the game you're at so I'll stop here
And Part of the Ather foundation... technically.
He quit sometime between the first time and second time you battle him. And the fact that Gladion has high authority in the Aether Foundation kinda disturbs me....
Ariq ze gamer he's not even a grunt. an enforcer. the lowest of the low
Reverse silver
I feel like him and N are going to be my favorite rivals
I came here because of nostalgia 🤩
I'm so happy he's our real rival and not Hau. We wanted mean rivals back, and Gamefreak delivered.
DrScaphandre hau and gladion are both the rivals of the player character
Alex And josie i would be emo too if my mom was a fucking maniac and planned on destroying the whole region. He lived 2 years only with a hateful pokemon that he befriended later on. thats seriously fucked up
Alex And josie and?...
But Hau's also a really amazing character
This honestly is like the best encounter music
Unless you count Wally's music
Anyone else getting a megaman starforce feel from this?
yes!!!
omg yes!!!
Same
Maybe that's the reason why I like this guy so much lol
Melody of Isolation vibes
Hau: Rival
Gladion: the cooler rival
Oh my God. He's literally me. Hair style, colour, attitude, this guy is the best rival in the series IMO.
Minus Bros. maybe you could cosplay as him if you can
Minus Bros. YES! cosplay him!
Minus Bros. same lol I even bleached my hair lol
smh edgy
He's one of my favourites too
Am I the only one reminded of Hugh hearing this theme
Crimson Blurs Thats what i though
GameFreak: Fine, you guys want an edgy a-hole rival? Here, take this. Enjoy your Shadow the Edgehog sequel.
That moment when someone's encounter theme sounds better than their actual battle theme.
I could listen to this all day tbh
So lit
He and Silver should meet. They both have daddy issues.
Gladion you have to have been famous in the game so awesome
Gladion on anime : hm. Okay ill accept your challenge!
Gladion on game : GET OUT!
Now THIS should've been the battle theme
Come to think of it, never mind
lol
Rootbeerguy690 - A TH-cam Commenter true true true true true.......it's the remastered version XD
They didnt need to go so hard with this 🔥🔥🥶🥶

Shulk the futurist MY ACHING BLOOD 😂
Shulk the futurist RADIANT DAWN!
Fire Emblem you say? *COUGH COUGH ELITE FOUR THEME COUGH COUGH* Geez, what's wrong with my coughs?
this game is probably going to have:
music quality better than gen 4
story and characters better than black and white
a region more diverse than hoenn
hype and sales better than red and blue and yellow
and to top it all off the pokemon will be the best in the series
gengar nerf is a thing
true
Most of the Alolan pokemon are really slow.
ChaosPulsar that doesn't really matter tbh
hey bra you copy paste my comment on another one of pokelis vids
On this snowy battlefield, i challenge you, to one final battle!
Winner climbs to the summit!
this theme and the battle music right after it....heaven 😍
lol I had no idea he was even a rival until after I completed the game
Gladion is the single best rival in the entire series.
Being that hau's battle music has battlefriend and how gladion's has battlerival in it is exactly why gladion is your one true rival
I'm getting a huge Mega Man Zero vibe from this song.
If game freak added more this it could have been his battle theme and THE BEST RIVAL BATTLE THEME EVER
Silver's encounter theme got some competition
1:00 is it just me or in the background it sounds like a part of the Ultra Necrozma theme ?
"MY SWORD HAND, IT HUNGERS!"
Wait, wrong franchise.
TWO rivals per game now.....awesome call on that choice GameFreak. 👍One for those who prefer the soft, lovable type of rivals, and this kind like our boy Gladian for those who prefer a more edgier rival.👌
This sounds totally like Megaman.
And I am a huge fan of Megaman
I can't wait for him to show up in the anime !
Sootopolis City? 0:27-0:40
Franchesca Toscano Nice ear.
That's why it sounded so familiar! Thanks!
Also a pmd song.
Very sped up, but yes.
I absolutely love Gladion's character.
Oh lord...
My hand is twitching!
Heres one reason why i love this character
The Aether paradise revisit gave lillie and gladion a lot of character development in the plotline and made them understandable. plus, who dosent love the edginess that gladion has?
My first thoughts: IT'S MEGAMAN X!!!
+Pokeli will you be doing a Pokemon generations zinnia theme?
there is no zinnia generation
Pokeli i know but will you be doing a made up one? i would really love to listen to it :)
LOL
Prahlad Giridharan boi
Snap Cion Lol i guess i am asking for too much😂 for one person. Forget about it 😂
i love you edge son
This music just PREPARES FOR THE EPIC ONE xD
Gladion's favorite moves? Double-Edge and Stone Edge.

I did not click A for an hour because this music is so good.
finally, a rival that is hotter than silver
HUGH SAYS HI
MAYU-SAMA Hugh is not equal to silver he was already your friend at the beginning of the game
blue?
Lucas Gonçalves Ribeiro OP said hotter, not anything to do with being a better rival
May if you are a straight guy like me.
I just realized how pyro ball perfectly fits with the beginning
マジで好き
Sentence to describe Gladion
"It's not like I want to be your friend or anything b-baka"
Figures he's the real rival, Hau is more of a friend then a RIVAL
Koyoshi Ouma you don't word rival mean do you
But that not the definition of rival mean
rival
[rahy-vuh l]
noun
1.
a person who is competing for the same object or goal as another, or who tries to equal or outdo another; competitor.
2.
a person or thing that is in a position to dispute another's preeminence or superiority:
Gladion fits those. At least, as far as any Pokemon rival is in a position to dispute the protagonist's superiority.
by that same definition, wouldn't Hau also be considered a real rival too? While Hau wasn't super competitive, he still did try to outdo the protagonist none the less. This is mostly evident at the end game where he battles you before the league to decide who should face the elite four. He also battles you over the title of champion too.
That's like saying MC is the champions rival (in all games, yes including the one where it actually IS like that)
Wow. I can kinda hear some of Sootopolis City's theme in this.
Still badass and fitting for Gladion though.
He’s silver, but done right.
Paul coughing in the background.
@@Crimson_BeninaruPaul is a completely different type of character
@@5ashll303 No, Paul is actually based off of Silver
His character is cool
His pokemon are cool
His theme is cool
HECK
Even his encounter music is good
to those who picked popplio, was Silvally's current type Grass also when you fought Gladion? I just wondered if it was random, based on the first in your party or whether it mattered on your starter.
It's based on Starter
Lugia2109 ah okay, I wondered about that, since I have yet to see (until now) confirmation on it. thanks for clearing it up
ShadowSkyX yup, I picked Popplio. Silvally was a grass type.
ShadowSkyX so, when I get the game, since I'm gonna choose Litten, Silvally is gonna be water type?
Captain Poketrash most likely. I'm trying to finish up the direct remnants of Sun's post game before moving on to playing Moon, where I'll be picking Litten this time around and see if it's true for myself or not. but the fact that numerous people have been saying it I guess so.
The best Smash wii U menu theme I could ask for.
gladion is the person from blue rescue team he music tells the facts.
My first encounter with Gladion was bad! Because was I thinking he is very strange and a bit scary...
But now...
I LOVE HIM 😍💘💘
Does it sounds like Route 225 theme from D/P?
SINNOH COMFIRMED! ;)
Lucari017 GameMaker WHATEVER CONFIRMED 😒
Tbh, I don't think it's gonna happen until there's a handheld system that can't have ds games on it.
The trial theme sounds more like Route 225 from D/P/P
You mean the Switch? I mean, if Stars ends up being a thing I don't see how they wouldn't remake Sinnoh there
I like this song because of 0:13 - 0:25
It has that synth noise that old DS games use like Super Mario 64 DS and Plants VS Zombies DS. :3
The new B2W2 rival....
I always get hurt when I listen to Gladion's tracks while cleaning. I got cut to his battle theme, and I slipped and hit my foot on my bed frame to this one.
