3rd Gen What Happened to Wally?

I was pretty young when I played my copy of Sapphire through. I remember helping Wally catch a Ralts, but really nothing else. Did the character encounter him again? Did he have anything to do with the storyline? I've lost my copy of the game so I would appreciate if anybody could give me some clearance about WHO. WAS. WALLY.


Dun dun dun duuun...

Wally's basic role was to take over as rival after May left to study Pokemon.
You met Wally, (I think) 3 times. Once at the beginning of the game, at Petalburg, then you battle him at Mauville, then at Victory Road, where he becomes quite challenging.

Ooh, you're right...Petalburg when he catches Ralts, Mauville outside the gym and on VIctory Road with his epic Gardevoir. Thanks!

I can second that to be the truth. And in Emerald, you can get a re-match with him in Victory Road, even stronger.

Yeah...but compared to May/Brendan, and trainers in Hoenn in general outside Ever Grande City and Battle Frontier.....Wally's the only thing close to a challenge.

wally was awesome, maybe they should create the game where you are wally and stuff. that would be cool :D

Hopefully, if there are R/S/E remakes, he'll be made stronger. Blue, Silver, and Pearl were legitimately challenging. Wally was a push-over.

I think Wally could be more strong, i really love my rivals to give me hardcore battles but it's sad to say thah Wally is very weak =S

Hes not weak, he just doesnt battle you as many times. All the charicters have a different personality:

gary- cool and calm

silver- mean aggressive

wally- shy, quiet

barry- can never sit still.


as for wally
I think he suffers from an illness like ashma or something along the lines of that.

I like how wally acts in the webcomic Pokemon X http://pokemonx.comicgenesis.com/
in the games we didn't get to know him TOO much.
I was shocked when he challenged me to a battle at victory road- I was 8 though

Wally was a good character, In my opinion he was one of the only good challenges in the game, and he actually gave the game a bit of a storyline. I think that Pokemon should create more characters like this and actually try to develop a game with a bit more of a storyline

Yeah, I loved him in Victory Road..

from my memory, does he challenge you at the start of it, then again at the end?

You challenge him at the end of Victory Road.

To answer the question: you first encounter Wally again in Mauville City when he tries to challenge the gym, but he can't, because his uncle won't let him. Then you battle him and he leaves for Verdanturf afterward. He stays there for a while, then leaves. When you're about to leave Victory Road, Wally approaches you and challenges you to a battle. After that, he stays in Victory Road and you'll know if he wants to battle you again via the Pokenav.

As for my opinions on Wally being a rival: I don't think he's cut out for it because he's just too nice.

Wally is like May/Brendan's successor of being a rival in R/S/E.

But for being a challenge, you shouldn't forget bout Steven.
Wally and Steven are the most well-rounded trainers than anyone else. Yet, I think Steven's* roster will rape Wally's. May/Brendan are so-so.

All Steven's Pokes have dual types like:
which give him a lot of advantage over Wally who only would have Though Wally lacks one more Pokemon to complete his team, I still think Steven being more powerful. (Maybe if he gets a Flawless EV'ed Mewtwo, he'll win. xd)
