Kieran — what do people actually think of him as a character?

Question

Curious what everyone's take on Kieran is from the Scarlet/Violet DLC storyline. Good character arc or a bit overhyped? Trying to avoid full spoilers but open to general discussion.

People are pretty split tbh, some find him annoying at first but he grows on you once you see his arc play out.

William · Answer

Honestly, most players see Kieran as a tragic figure rather than a villain. His obsession with the dragonborn’s fate makes him sympathetic. While his methods are extreme and often alienating, the underlying motivation is pure love and desperation. I think the writing does a great job balancing his arrogance with genuine vulnerability, making him one of the most complex companions in the game.

Riolu evolves into Lucario through high friendship during the daytime in the main series games where this evolution method applies. It isn't a Gen 2 Pokémon, so you may be mixing generations.
