The gender doesn't really matter much to me.So I'm the minority here on wanting a single female rival? We've had rival groups for quite a while now...

Well my reasoning for wanting a female rival is well, I know it's a bit of a weird reasoning, but, we had a female chamion, then a female professor, and gen6 had a female... nothing, unless you count a female champ but that's done already. I'm hoping gen7 continues with this trend and I think the rival would be an interesting idea.The gender doesn't really matter much to me.
Lol actually I was thinking basically the 'smell ya later' rival, except it's well, not male.Nah I agree. It could potentially turn into a love story, which no doubt it will because boy + girl = love in the media. I really don't have any issues with it, even if it's unrequited. They insult you only because they want you, whereas you... your ultimate goal. That's what you want - to save the Pokemon world. Eventually she'll find love with a gym leader and everything will be ok. If you're playing as a girl you would become best friends with her (like Shauna) and eventually defeat everyone else. That's pretty much how the story will go if there's a female and it'll add a human element, so why not? No matter what if they have a female she's gotta be super competitive though. No weakling, gotta be stronger than you until you face the Elite Four and finally overtake her. :)
There's nothing much to speculate at this level, due to the lack of official materials.
But I'd like our rival(s) to receive character developments! They can even go as far as making our rival joining the villain team during some point of the plot. (:
