1. Not meaning to brag, but I've never been beaten in a Pokemon battle, but I haven't played online yet...
2. I find the rival to be a slight irritance, like a fly to be brushed off your shoulder and swatted in the air. |

2.Its true. (But only if you are well prepared and train very hard!) |
Up to the game I'm playing in Diamond (I just got to Heartthome) he hasn't been an issue at all. I usually brush him aside pretty easily and in fact I let my weakest Pokemon, Budew, beat down his Prinlup. It was a pretty cool victory cause I didn't even use my starter Pokemon at all. I have to say I like how even keeled my team is and I like that not even my rival can really strain my guys too much.
I'll also add that I don't IV/EV train. I don't breed for natures. I don't epic grind to get leveled up (though I finally leveled my Magikarp up to Gyrados. Magikarp was my first Pokemon I caught at level 4. I named him "Future". And now that he's Gyrados my team just got a lot better I think.) |
Although they can be a bit annoying, i like how sometimes they are err..stupid :)
They use dumb tactics for example, one of my Rivals water pokemon used ice beam on my infernape -__- Somtimes, you dont even really need to be higher leveled to defeat them. Something that annoys me about them is how the always think their better even if they lose :P |
The only time a rival has been a threat to me was in R/S/E when you head north of Slateport and the champion of Fr/Lg
