Don't Let the Catz say Zero! [DLTMS0 v4.0]

Cheren never seemed on par with the old rivals.
But I pretty much thought that way since the third Generation, so my argument's invalid.

Silver was hella cool. Overall badass, good challenge and sweet character development.

And dat theme music.

Can I say I have lost to Barry before? With a pretty decent team, too.

...And actually, I was wrong about Green having the highest-leveled team of the rivals. It truly is Barry, as his strongest Pokemon gets up in the 80s~

I never liked Silver. Heck, I even like "Smell ya later!" Green more.

Yeah, Barry sure got far level wise :P
I used to have fun one-hitting his entire team with mah Mewtwo :3

Bianca will forever hold the title of 'Worst Rival Ever'.

She was rather attractive, though.
Because that totally changes everything.

I love Bianca for her personality <3 Not so much her team tho o3o Even Wally, who probably has the lowest leveled team out of all the rivals (unless you count Brendan/May as a rival; I don't tho) can be a nuisance if you let his Gardevoir Double Team enough.

21. Barry was a challenge on Platinum but I just raped him again and again with my Palkia subtly nicknamed GrngoKillr and that was when I was being merciful lol. God forbid I bring out my Infernape Hades instead lol.

And Green was just a punk IMO, only Pokes he had that posed even the slightest challenge were his Tyranitar and starter and even then it was just so laughably pathetic that I didn't even know why I bothered at the time considering my Snorlax just tanked everything he tried and my Mr. Mime and Dragonite downright obliterating what was left of his team by then lol.

Bianca and Wally weren't too tough but they did give me a run for my money sometimes, particularly Wally's Altaria when I was severely underleveled on my Emerald game back then and Bianca's Meinshao was a nasty little bastard if my Haxorus hadn't acquired a Dragon Dance boost by then.

I bet the tables would turn if you didn't use an uber.

/I think to troll everyone the staff should make a rival with a team of high-leveled ubers with stats and moves made for competitive battling so people can see how it feels to have their teams pwned so easily by them

23

RBY is a challenge throughout and DPPt's E4 was hard too, but besides that Pokemon games don't usually challenge me. At all. GSC was the easiest though.

 

[Eucliffe]

24

When I was a n00b I had so much trouble beating the E4 in Gold.

Nowadays I find Kanto's E4 to be the toughest unless you count enhanced E4 teams.

 

[Ephemeral Euphoria]

25. I didn't use an Uber surprisingly enough, unless Dragonite, Zapdos, and Tyranitar counted as ubers now although to be fair Green/Gary did have a Tyranitar of his own on FR/LG. My team back on Leaf Green was Zapdos, Dragonite, Tyranitar, Mr. Mime, Snorlax, and Blastoise. On Fire Red I believe it was Tyranitar, Charizard/Venusaur (Can't remember which starter I used on my Fire Red run.), Electabuzz, Suicune, and either Primeape or Skarmory.

Yeah that would be mean haha, trying to think one up myself right now lol.

The Sinnoh E4 was the toughest I've ever faced though, no doubt in my mind about that one.

 

[Eucliffe]

26

None of those three are considered uber in CB...though I forgot if they have uber movesets.

Sinnoh E4 was easy. Heck, in my Pearl I took down the entire E4 with an underleveled BASTIODON.

 

[Ephemeral Euphoria]

27. I was referring to the Platinum E4, primarily in the rematch round, my god was Cynthia such a pain.

 

[Pokestick good times.]

28

Of course GSC was the least challenging generation, by the time you've beaten sixteen gyms your Pokémon must be levelled to oblivion :P

 

[Ephemeral Euphoria]

29. I can attest to Pokestick's previous comment with my level 83 Feraligatr Duraga lol.

 

[Eucliffe]

30

Actually, even after beating 16 gyms the E4 would have their enhanced teams and you're likely to be at least 10 levels below. At least that's how I found it. Took me my second try in HG to beat them.

 

[Nakuzami]

31.

As far as rivals go . . . well, I don't really know whom my favorite is. I don't even really consider Wally a rival because you only battle him, like, twice. Which is sad.
Other than that, I don't think I've ever really ordered my rivals by favorites, lol.

 

[Eucliffe]

32

First time you battle him: He has a Ralts.

Second time you battle him: He has a full team almost as strong as the first member of the E4's o3o

I never had a problem with levels back in the days.
...You know, back when I used my starter for everything and only used the other Pokémon for backup and HMs :P
