I'll name him the same as my rival in Platinum. Elmo.
And they both have red hair! XD
That's funny!
Shh, don't tell his fangirls! Even though you're right...If he's anything like he was in G/S/C, I'll probably call him something on the lines of 'Douche', because that's what he is.
Well, I think it has to do something with the fact that he judges everyone and everything based on strength and doesn't care about anyone's feelings but his own. He just wants his team to be strong, it makes no difference to him if they like him or not. Plus he stole two of 'em. He gets better near the end though, he even says he has to consider his Pokemon as living creatures, which is also why it's only then that his Golbat evolves into Crobat. As players, we get attached to our Pokemon and care about them.The only part I don't get is when everyone says he treats his Pokemon like "tools of war".
