Something interesting about Hop's Wooloo/Dubwool

I remember when first playing SwSh that during Hop's battles after he's loss to Bede that he stops using Wooloo, I think this might be a great example of story through gameplay as Wooloo is Hop's actual starter Pokemon and most people are quite attached to theirs. When Hop stops letting Bede bullying and his anxiety of being like his brother get to him, he starts to use his starter Wooloo again and it has evolved in Dubwool. I find it cool that Wooloo almost functions like a Persona from the Persona series and he represents Hop's mindset.
