Pop!_OS uses kernelstub to manage the boot parameters and kernel images, instead of GRUB.

Follow the commands below to disable boot splash screen and show the boot verbose on:
Bash: 
sudo kernelstub --print-config

Rich (BB code): 
andy@ws:~$ sudo kernelstub --print-config

As we can see the kernelstub config above, there's quiet, systemd.show_status=false and splash option on the Kernel Boot Options.

Use the command below to remove them:
Bash: 
sudo kernelstub --delete-options "quiet systemd.show_status=false splash"
And use the command below to show the boot verbose:
Bash: 
sudo kernelstub --add-options "systemd.show_status=true"

And if we print the kernelstub config again, the quiet and splash option has now been cleared with the systemd.show_status value now sets to true:
