[B/W] Bianca Or Cheren?

[Saturated Hue]

I definitely love them both, but I'm going to say Bianca because she's just adorbs. <3 :33333 I love her naivete and the fact that she gave up on being the strongest trainer ever, unlike the protag and Cheren; makes her seem like a real person uninjected by the "never give up!" morality that the Pokemon franchise and Japanese games/animes/mangas in general seems so fond of.

[Bourne-mouth]

I prefer Cheren. He has a better team than Bianca and I like his personality.

[bwburke94]

I prefer Cheren as a trainer and Bianca for... other things. But not until she's 18.

[kenshin-]

I prefer cheren even if he's not a difficult rival.

Bianca is insipid as a trainer. She spends time to cry (team rocket stole the little girl pokemon's, the team rocket stole my pokemon...). I love her when I do not hear about her. She's always too late (not about arrival time but about her pokemon training).

[Rainbow Arcanine]

I like Cheren over Bianca for a few reasons. He's a better rival in general, strong team giving me a challenge. Also I like his personality, serious and likes to study before battles.

Bianca hasn't really given me a challenge, not yet anyway.

[Drgons90]

Bianca here. The theme fits her perfectly, and I like her attitude. Plus I gotta thank her for giving the starter in B2W2!

I hate Cheren. Why? "We both have [insert badge here], let's see who's stronger". Seriously, like every f-ing Gym he does that.

[Blues-Music]

Bianca.Same reasons as drgons.
Also I hate Cherens attitude."Bianca you....Are hopeless."
"Professor Juniper?We know who you are."
"Why is the champion goofing off at a place like this?"

Not to mention he doesn't feel like a rival.Bianca feels like a friend , but thats her role.N is supposed to be the villian boss you always fight only to find out that someone else is the boss.Cheren is supposed to be the rival , but all he does , and says is "You beat a gym?I did too.Lets fight now."

A true rival is either extra competetive , or sometimes mocks you.

[Sodapop]

I liked Cheren better, I hated Bianca's oversized hair and how she was,
she was so freaking stupid, I wonder if they stereotyped her.

Anyways I like Cheren because he's mellow, plus he doesn't have an
ugly Musharna in the end, I hate that fat pink oaf..

Did you find it difficult to defeat? I took out a Lv.68 Purugly with mine 20 levels lower in an accidental Trainer encounter by complete chance; I suppose if I lost a battle like that I'd hate it too, but I'd equally be going after one of my own if I didn't already have it.

In other words, maybe Bianca knows what she's doing after all. I can't blame her having Musharna after that win. I still like Cheren better tho.

I agree with this. I found both my rivals difficult enough, but for the weaker one, Bianca is rather tough. I really enjoyed her whole story the first time around especially, and felt could see why my main character would be friends with her. Cheren was a little too snooty, plus there was something off about his sprite, I can't put my finger on it...

So yeah, Bianca!

[Eivana]

I like Cheren better. Bianca was a little too... Innocent like for my taste, and Cheren chased power.

[Baloth]

Cheren was too pompous and snooty, obsessed with becoming stronger.

Bianca was an airhead, but her enthusiasm was refreshing. ...At least, as refreshing as a 2D sprite can be.

[Patchisou Yutohru]

I vastly preferred Bianca. She had a quirky, airhead personality who seemed to lighten the mood whenever she appeared. Her story and her desire to discover who she was is a lot more admirable and original than Cheren's quest to be the best, which has been overdone when it comes to rivals. Cheren's personality was really arrogant in an annoying way. It wasn't at all appealing and he came across as someone I would gladly punch in the face if given the chance. Most of what his character has to say is eye-roll inducing.

[CriticalKYUC]

Cheren, she was hard headed, strong and willing to push forward. Not to mention she was an actual challenge and always had your back. And she was sorta cute :3

[thecritter]

I personally liked Bianca more. She just livened up the mood a bit, and despite the fact that she was an airhead, she was absolutely adorable, and likeable to me. Though Cheren was pretty cool as well. Though really, really arrogant, to me.

I feel as if they could've gone into more depth about their characters though?? I mean, Cheren seemed like the kind of guy who would be confused whether Team Plasma was right or not and whether he was doing the right things. Bianca, on the other hand, seemed like the kind of girl who would disobey her father no matter what, and I felt that her father kind of let her go too easily??

But this is a kids game, anyway, so this will probably never happen and I'm getting too deep into it now...

You might want to reconsider some of that. Cheren's a guy.

[GardevoirxGalladeForever]

I prefer Bianca, mostly because of her bubbly, epic and fun personality. I can also tells that she really cares for her pokemon, in fact, all pokemon. She's just so epic! She's also really fun to battle! And although she loses, she always says something positive afterwards! That's the spirit! :3

My entire life is a lie.

[K1ngQu33n]

Bianca,
1. Shes always in an enthusiastic mood.
2. She always is polite and kind to you when you run into her in story mode.
3. She never let's anything bring her down.

What do you guys think?

[vaporeon7]

I preferred Bianca because even though her Mienshao knows Fake Out to annoy me, at least it isn't as bad as Cheren with a Sturdy Gigalith and Focus Sashed starter. She also had a pleasant colour choice for her clothing.

[Thomas]

Both are really annoying characters as far as the storyline is concerned, but enjoy battling Cheren a lot more than I enjoy battling Bianca.

It's okay! I thought Cheren looked like a girl at first too for a bit and found it strange when I realised he was definitely a guy. :( But really, neither have the greatest designs, but even still, Cheren's s better despite people getting his genders confused!

[Rambagos]

This is difficult choice. Cheren is cool and smart trainer. His team level always higher than mine. He also challenging me. But for Bianca.... she is stubborn, slow, funny, and cute. Her team doesn't really challenging me. Okay, I choose Cheren because his personality and appearence are good as a young boy.

[Pokemon_Geek]

Oh this is tough. They both remind of the Uryuu and Orihime from Bleach who are my favorite characters.

I like both of their teams and I feel that they fit them especially since I chose Oshawott; Snivy was made for Cheren and Tepig is just so cute with Bianca(Oshawott can fit well too). Even though Bianca gives up half way through, I always found her harder than Cheren(what is that Mushama made of? It takes forever for me to KO it) and I felt so guilty that I made her feel inferior.

In the end, I have to with Cheren. I just have soft spot for his archetype.

[AlexOzzyCake]

Cheren's annoying and gets in the way whereas Bianca is funny and has an interesting team, so I prefer Bianca n.n Her team is more fun to fight then Cheren's and she's a lot less irritating in the story, so I prefer her appearances much more than Cheren. Plus Cheren's hair is silly x]
