How, how, how, and I ask HOW did Amethyst and the rest manage to make Fern... FERN, of all characters, a truly likeable guy in a blink of an eye?!
I'd argue that this character was in everyone's Top 3 of Most Hated and Despised Reborn Characters as of V18. Even in V19, he still was hateable; I even cheered for Titania to beat him so badly he wouldn't leave the wheel chair for the next 5 years.
Even though I knew he simply was jealous for me being better than him... every time, which made him hostile towards us, players, that didn't change my opinion about him, as this isn't as good of a reason to be evil as fe.: Sigmund, Phoenix or Elias.
But in postgame, especially during Mew and Mewtwo quests... Those two quests were enough to make me truly appreciate that asshole. Well, not an asshole anymore, I guess. As he was truly beginning to see his mistakes; like he landed in a "hole", as we did early in the story; the roles swapped. Too bad we didn't have the chance to have him beg us to free him, or to leave him; just to secretly return, proving our previous action a mere trolling.
Or when he dies (sorta; I guess petrification by Mew/Mewtwo can be described as death), only to be "resurrected" by umbral energy, he finally says what he truly thinks... and dear Arceus, if I knew earlier that he........
After everything, after all the adventures and plot screws, I think Fern truly deserves an Gym Leader and Elite Four spot later on!
But... Now I feel like a dick, honestly. To think that I planned to... well... I guess I'm not as good writer as I think I am...
They say that I am creative and know how to bring the essence out of character. Alas, that is not true. I still have much, much to learn...
