Where's Wally?
 
For those of you who don't know who Wally is get out, he was a sickly little boy who had to leave his home in Petalburg and move in with his Aunt, Uncle, and cousin in order for him to start getting healthy in the clean air of Verdanturf Town. After you defeat him in a battle in front of the Mauville City gym, he is inspired to travel around the region, collecting Pokemon and badges, and proving to himself and his father that he really can do well on his own. Eventually, he becomes the last trainer you face off against in Victory Road, and is even known amongst the trainers there as the kid who's beating everyone.

I really hope he makes a full comeback into the games, and I actually hope his role is a little more prominent and important than it was in RSE. Do you hope to see the inspiring little lad make a return? What do you think his role could be if he does so?

Orocket May 8th, 2014 11:08 AM

I have no doubts that he'll be returning. I think it'd be cool if we got to battle him a bit more. That way we'd be battling May/Brendan and Wally throughout the game. He could also tag along with you to battle the evil teams like your rival did in Black 2/ White 2.

Kotone May 8th, 2014 11:25 AM

if they're remaking it, i'm sure he will be in the game. i always thought he was adorable :3

vocis May 8th, 2014 11:33 AM

I like Wally, he's a well developed character as far as pokemon games go, and you just get the feeling he and his Ralts are very close. He's also pretty different than the typical overconfident, fiery kids that are typical main characters of pokemon stories.

I always get the feeling that Wally is a cheater someone with respect, but still just a kid. I'd love to see him some more, as he's one of my favorite of the non playable story-relevant characters.

Pyrax May 8th, 2014 11:50 AM

I want Wally (and Brendan/May, by extension) to actually have a full team of six when the player encounters him in Victory Road. In addition, I would love for his role to be expanded (more encounters or battles, perhaps?), or at least his presence be alluded to in conversation (e.g. "You remind me of a green haired boy who passed by here not too long ago" or something to that effect).

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire May 8th, 2014 11:52 AM

I hope he get's a Mega stone for his Gardevoir. Also maybe they should make it female, though I guess it's fine. If they add Roserade and Magnezone to the dex he'll be tougher for our final match against him...

SnowpointQuincy May 8th, 2014 11:56 AM

I was hoping he would get upgraded to champion, but alas...

Aquacorde May 8th, 2014 12:25 PM

I love Wally <3 I'd love to see him back, at the very least in the capacity he was in Emerald. And with a better team, with a Mega Gardevoir, more appearance, etc. He was a lot more interesting than the actual rival proper.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire May 8th, 2014 1:46 PM

It would be nice if Wally could assist us in stopping the weather trio along with our opposite sex rival.

blue May 8th, 2014 1:58 PM

I almost forgot about Wally! I'm pretty sure he'll be back though, he played a major part in the original games so why wouldn't he return? Also I wonder if his Gardevoir will end up Mega Evolving, that would be neat.

MusikMaestro May 8th, 2014 2:32 PM

I'd like him to have an expanded role. He just disappears for half the game and gets mentions by NO-ONE (I'm fairly sure it's possible to not find out that he went missing from Verdanturf), and then just shows up at the end of Victory Road with a trained team. Give him some more significance, maybe by having him replace Brendan/May for the second half of the game, once they quit being trainers?

oshizlgzngahr May 8th, 2014 2:44 PM

I'd like more battles with Wally and May, Hoenn was amazing but the lack of rival battles bothered me. Maybe have some battle post-game with each with buffed up teams and other region Pokemon, I'd also like them to help out against Team Magma/Aqua.

Given Wally will probably be a major NPC of some sort, I don't think his Gardevoir will Mega evolve since it would be considered his staple Pokemon and Diantha already has Mega Gardevoir has a signature. That would be cool, though, but maybe he'll have... Manectric or something time around, or Delcatty will get a Mega Evolution. :B

I want him to be Champion, honestly. I really do. That would leave Wallace to be working a menial job cleaning seaweed off the sea bottom in Sootopolis and Steven as the 'hidden trainer' in Meteor Falls again!

Chibi-chan May 8th, 2014 5:01 PM

He better do something important.
Though RSE is my favorite Pokemon game, Wally is my least favorite 'rival'. I expected him to do something amazing in Emerald, but no. He still chickens out. I feel as if Steven would have been a better rival.

If it's a remake though, I doooooubt they'll change his character too much. I always felt bad for the poor guy u_u

Meksal May 8th, 2014 5:38 PM

I want him to be champion, and have a moostache, yus yus yus!

Pepperton May 8th, 2014 5:47 PM

When first playing through RSE, I fell in love with Wally. His character design and background was new to the Pokemon games, and I preferred him over all the rivals that preceded him. Coincidentally, his final team contained all of my favorite Hoenn-native pokemon!

I'm sure he'll be back in the remakes, but his role might not change much. Personally, I hope his story line is of more importance this time around, because I felt like the original games didn't develop his plot at all.

This; I hope Wally's team is maximized in terms of post-Generation 3 evolutions and Generation 6's Mega Evolutions. It would be nice if Wally could have his plot/development expanded a bit more. Maybe he could even make cameos as a partner and/or opponent in Hoenn Battle Frontier facilities and/or the Trainer Hill (since the "best of the best of Hoenn" typically gather in those areas).

Elaitenstile May 8th, 2014 7:45 PM

If Wally is back, they should give him a bigger role, seeing as we ourselves supervised him catching a Pokémon. They half-heartedly put him up in Mauville and then he runs back to Verdanturf. While the illness concept is interesting, I would have really appreciated it if he had battled us in Fallarbor, Lavaridge, Fortree, Mosdeep and Sotopolis. Since Brendan/May aren't so competent when it comes to battling (the info in the Match Call proves this).

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire May 8th, 2014 8:14 PM

I think Wally should get himself a Gallade too. Maybe he evolves his original to a Gallade and get's a female one and evolves her into Gardevoir. He could give us one post game seeing how Ralts was rare in the originals...

Hiatus May 8th, 2014 8:16 PM

Wally was a great addition, and made it easier for you to keep all your Pokémon balanced by challenging you to various battles. Though, I think it would be really nice if he perhaps made more appearances in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, and traveled with you every once in a while (like how Barry does in D/P/PT) to get through places, such as Petalburg Woods. Maybe he could involve himself even deeper, and help player out to fight off against Team Aqua and Magma; would be very awesome if you were to be forced to go up against Archie and Maxie at once, and he'd be teaming up with you to battle them. There are various other ways of using him, of course, and these are only a couple. :]

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire May 8th, 2014 8:19 PM

I always felt Wally was a curve ball of a final challenge before the E4. I kind of don't know if I want them to change him and ruin the surprise those who happened played the games (and don't know the story) by changing his role. However I also want him to appear more as he's one of my favorite characters from RSE...

Nah, that wouldn't have to change necessarily. He could be a post-game Champion of some sort, if he was indeed the Champion. Or if he wanted to be involved in Contests, he could fight you at the end of Victory Road, resign himself to failure (poor guy) and house himself away in the Contest Hall! ^^

The champ thing is Blue's curve ball. Not sure if they'll make Wally the champion...think they'll keep Steven, at least for the first match.

SnowpointQuincy May 8th, 2014 8:51 PM

Wally needs a New Team:

Altaria -> Any other Dragon.
Magneton -> Magnezone
Roselia -> Roserade
Delcaty -> Magikarp (Delcaty is a joke)
Gardevoir -> Mega-Gardevior

A 6th Pokemon to round up his team... Get this kid a Salamence, Son!
