I immediately stopped caring about the Pokemon League and Nemona. My #1 priority? Get those McGuffins and save that guys' freaking dog! LOL

[foxpokemonforever]

You can really tell that Arven looks like both of his parents. He's got Sada's eyes, Turo's jawline, and a combination of their hair colours. It's a really good detail that makes it clear that he was designed with both games in mind, or that both professors were designed with him in mind.

[GamerFromJump]

Standard _Pokémon_ procedure is for Protag-kun or Protag-chan to have a missing dad (unless you’re May/Brendan). But Arven is like “hold my tear stein” and has missing _both, _ plus a monster tried to kill his doggo friend. The same monster that killed Mom/Dad (which has to have him like, “yo, WTF?”, when you catch it and add it to the team.)

After that one scene, Arven went from being an obnoxious jerk, to my top priority.

[DReivenn]

It broke my heart in Violet to figure out that Sada peaced out cause Turo lost it, left him with Arven and Turo literally died and we spend the whole time trying to save his dying dog just to find out he already had a dead single dad <\3 Like my poor tragic boy is an orphan.

[JasLamArr]

I appreciate them actually killing their professor.
I also like how the game make you care about Arven, Penny and Nemona to the point it felt believable that they all became friends at the end.

**Me seeing Arven at the beginning of the game:** Man you're a jerk how dare you be mean to our vroom vroom steel scale puppy

**Me seeing Arven at the end of the game:** I WOULD AND WILL DIE FOR YOU AND MABOSSTIFF ARVEN I AM SO SORRY OH MY GOD

[lachbullen]

I actually feel sorry for the young lad abandoned by his Cowley dishonourable father in his own mother leaving him to focus on her research only to suffer a fatal accident down the line the lab would probably need a lot of therapy and can Pokemon actually address more serious issues like this..

[njivwathomassilavwe]

You can fit so many mommy and daddy issues into this boy

[mikaiink]

Arven's story was the most compelling to me in the vanilla-game. Even before learning of his dog's sickness, I was curious about his personality and overall the way he was acting. When learning of his mabostiff's condition, it really hit me and felt the sense of wanting to quickly help him.

But it wasn't until the end of the story- that it really hits me harder than ever the position that this kid was in. Prof. Sada/Turo's obsession with reaching what is considered an "astronomical" goal and neglecting in the first place what they always wanted which was a family...

It's very admirable Arven's resolve, specially for his age. He is my second favorite story in the entirety of SV's titles! Always enjoy seeing him push forward for his goals and dreams.

Also been enjoying these analysis of the characters- brings forwards the human aspects of them. While PKMN writing is usually simpler, you can find the possible complexity.

The VERY MOMENT I found about Mabostiff, I stopped everything TO IMMEDIATELY SAVE THE GOODBOI.

I play Pokémon since 1999, I was 10 at that time, so I did not really appreciate it with the innocent sides of a 7/8 y.o., event though it instantly became, up until now, my favorite videogame ever.
And for the first time with Mabostiff, I UGLY CRIED while playing Pokémon. Never happened before.

It almost made me forget about the billion problems in the game. Almost.

I basically forgot to do the gyms just so I can help Arven. On my second playthrough that's still ongoing, I have done at least 4 titans compared to 4 gyms and 1 star base.

[LilAutobot]

Me getting a shiny Mabosstiff that had a mark and naming it after Arven. "Arven the Joyful" cuz this man deserves happiness 😭

[fiercedeitymidna]

All of the major characters have their own "greatest treasure". Arven's is Mabosstiff, Penny's is Team Star (and us, who helped bring them back to their senses),
Nemona's is us (someone she can call her equal), Ogerpon's is her past trainer, (and us, who helped retrieve the stolen masks AND prove her innocence), and ours is whatever we want it to be.

[PokeUFO]

Me and my son cried watching this guy's story chills goosebumps please game Freak don't dump this character I want to see him become something great ( the Professor of gen 10 ) ~ I hope this comment ages well

[madnessarcade]

Every game has its own unique tragic story for sure. This is no different

Spoilers for The Peach Epilogue








Fun Fact: The little energy he puts into his Peca Dance when he’s possessed is a subtle reference to the amount of energy his parents spent on him.

[StevenDaniels]

*meeting Arven and the first mission with him*

Man this guy is kind of a jerkface

*me after the 2nd mission*

I would die to help him and his dog.

[Spoul_S]

I must say if you hate Arven somehow and you’ve beat the game we can’t be friends

[Cardlimits]

I lost my dog last year, the wound was fresh for that scene.
