Quotes

Pokémon Black 2 and White 2

At Aspertia City

  • Meeting in town
"<player>. よお! ポケモンは てにいれたかよ?"
"......そうだよな. よし! オマエの ポケモンを もらいにいくぞ!"
"さきに かえってな"
"レッツ ゴーッ!!"
  • After first move
"いまの あいぼうの いたみ! ぜったいにわすれないぜッ!"


Trivia

  • During the Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 playthrough on the April 15, 2012 episode of Pokémon Smash!, they chose the name "Hihihiroshi" for Hugh. The name was initially a backstage in-joke originating from when the Smash! cast was passing time by practicing singing Can You Name All the Pokémon? BW.[1] Following the Japanese naming conventions of the Klink family, it was determined that Hihihiroshi was the final evolved form of Hiroshi Yamamoto.
  • He is the first rival not to get a Starter Pokémon from a regional Professor instead his came from an Egg.
