Childhood Rivals and Starter Selection!

Many people were worried that there wouldn't be the classic "PICK A POKEBALL" thing, but dont worry its still there. It seems like you may get to battle your 2 childhood friends afterall. Cheren will most likely pick the pokemon that has an advantage over you while Bell picks the one that you have an advantage over. (You pick Pokabu, Cheren picks Mijumaru and Bell picks Tsutaja for example) I know for a fact that you get to face Cheren: http://serebii.net/blackwhite/cheren2.jpg This is just like last generation with Dawn and Barry but I hope that you actually get to face the girl trainer. I would love for there to be 2 rivals. http://pokebeach.com/news/0710/corocoro-black-white-2-3.jpg From Pokebeach: Quote:
Because we have 2 rivals we could actually participate in a triple battle with them, or maybe just a double battle! |
IU actully like this idea. It makes seem more like your in the pokemon world.

3 kids starting there journy at the same time. It isn't really new,but they are goign back to the classic ways. We arn't accidently getting our pokemon.
|
I like this too. 2 Rivals. I was kinda upset that you couldn't battle Dawn, but I hope it'd be like this.
|
I like the idea of having two rivals too. Seems like more of a challenge :)
|
Ah, yeah.. it's so much better that way,
But what I'm really hoping is that soon we can create our own character. |

But I do like the idea of having more childhood friends and generally I think this game will have a lot of characters in the story. |
I hope they do that someday. I would love to create my own character.
|
So we're going back to Route 1. I wonder where exactly this new region is. o.O
And the idea of two rivals is interesting; as one picks the Pokemon that has the advantage and another picks the one that has the disadvantage, how else will the two rivals differ? |
I like the idea of two rivals, more variety I suppose. Should be interesting :)
|
Yay! More experience for all!
So the blond girls name is Bell....Time to make a new theme! |
Quote:
also, call me crazy, but I highly suspect this Cheran guy might get involved in the villainous team somehow. His dark features, calm, intelligent nature, and subdued outfit just shout "I will double cross you if the chance arises." |
So this makes me wonder if we actually get to see the opposite gender trainer at all in the game. Correct me if I'm wrong, but we've yet to see both the female and male trainer on the same screen right? I hope we get to battle/communicate with the opposite character.
I am happy to finally see two rivals though, that should be great. |
I totally agree with Timbjerr, I'm just ecstatic that our characters have such in depth personality as their physical designs. I see that Beru/Belle is going against her father's wishes in her journey, so I think that's awesome. This probably means we won't have so many do-good characters.
Another thing I love is the fact that we have two childhood friends going on the journey with us! It seems like they both will be heavily involved in the story, which is great. I think that will really make up for the loneliness in most pokemon games. |
So there's two suckers we have to triumph over now huh? Hopefully these guys will actually have some personality, unlike almost every other rival, who all seem to come away from defeat with more confidence than ever -_-
I hope Cheren's a real challenge, he looks like the kinda guy that might end up being a champion. Although seriously, more childhood friends? I know it's no solid indication of the plot, but it's already pulling tabs from Anime 101. Quote:

WOO! Alright!! This makes me really happy =D
Cheren seems like he's gonna be a really tough Rival Belle i really hope she's really strong too we need a Tough Female Rival since we're going to be battling both of them when we get our starter if we beat them both looks like we'll be on Level 7 by the time we get to Route 1 xD or what if they make the Levels down to Level 1 ? o_o that'd be awesome/weird heehee |
Quote:
What is wrong with meeting him/her around the first or second Gym? What's the big idea of giving our character and their rival a pre-existing relationship, I just feel it'd be better if we met them in-game and the relationship built up from there. Perhaps we meet them and they help us at first, maybe they appear as a normal trainer and challenge us to a battle? Whatever, I'm just bored of the same thing. |

In fact, I think this game may erase the whole "rival" tradition and just give us several characters we casually battle with. Personally, "rival" just feels like a spot to fill and almost excuses real personalities and roles in the story. |

its awesome that there are 2 rivals
|
I do that too, my friend and I are very competitive, and I always keep him in mind when training or teaching moves or choosing teams. Having a real life person to strive against really helps you do good in the game. I think that's the problem I've always had against rivals. I never had to try to beat them, I never thought of them while playing. I just knew they'd show up, and I'd beat them, then we'd both move along on our separate paths.
|
I think that having two rivals is awesome and anyone who thinks different will be smooshed by Hariyama butt.
