Friend or Foe?
 
Is it me or at the beggining of the game your rival is friendly but as the game goes on he gets more like your worest enemy?

Ryu Hoshi July 5th, 2007 4:32 AM

I think they get more pathetic then worset enemy.dont even remember what my rival used.thats how boring it was

wolfie1177 July 5th, 2007 4:47 AM

yeah the rival is totally lame in this game. i want a rival like in red/blue and gold/silver that is actually against you and not just "friendly competition"

Eureka1 July 5th, 2007 4:58 AM

i don't recall the rival in any pokémon game posing any emotion other than stupidity -.-;

ultima2096 July 5th, 2007 5:39 AM

i did like the fact there was three of you though running about. and the double battles were a little more interesting.
i felt sorry for dawn though, the prof, planted her outside his lab when you won the pokeleague.
but your right i prefered "gary" from RBY he was a <insert four letter word here> (any casual swear word will do).
the fat guy from GSC was any cool at the start cos he stole his pokemon like a bad man

diamondpearl876 July 5th, 2007 7:26 AM

The rival isn't much of a rival this game.. he isn't really your "worst enemy", he just wants to beat you someday.

Inugami July 5th, 2007 7:32 AM

I liked the rival from the GSC versions.

This rival, I can hardly call a "rival" Like mentioned above, "a friendly compotition"

Although compared to the rival in the R/S/E generation. This rival is Okay.

☼Charlie☼ July 5th, 2007 7:46 AM

Yea this rival is like a goody goody unlike the rival from G/S/C. But I do like how he fines you for constantly being late.

wolfie1177 July 5th, 2007 7:50 AM

another person i don't quite get is cynthia...

she just pops up at random moments the whole game, and never explains herself, and then shes champ.

having the rival be champ ahead of you like r/b/y is a lot better imo

ultima2096 July 5th, 2007 9:35 AM

i want to marry cynthia... well if i was a midget made out of pixels!
cant rember the RSE rival was he a happy chappy or unhappy chappy?

MetalDart July 5th, 2007 9:42 AM

He wasn't really as much of a rival but as more of a boost of experience for your party.

Uh.. "happy chappy." He even gave you items. What the hell is that?

wolfie1177 July 5th, 2007 11:28 AM

yeah, as far as i'm concerned the rivals have gone downhill ever since g/s/c with the guy who steals the first pokemon and tries to torment you the rest of the game

and gary was teh best in r/b/y because it made it feel just like the tv show, which was amazing to me as the biggest pokemon watcher ever at the time

Craig² July 5th, 2007 11:30 AM

Th rival sucks. He's really annoying and I can kill all of his pokemon in 1 hit. I laugh everytime he says he wants to be the best trainer. He's a disgrace, IMO.

And also when you re-battle him in Fight Area every Sunday/Saturday, he says" You're not the only one getting stronger!" but his Pokemon were the same level the last few times I fought him.. lol

ShadowTails July 5th, 2007 12:14 PM

I dunno what the American translation is all about... the rival never fined you in the Japanese version... makes you wonder what he's meant to be saying...

Sakurah July 5th, 2007 12:21 PM

I actually like this rival.
He's really cute. :]
He's actually more of your best friend trying to be better than you instead of a 'rival'.
It's kind of like R/S/E, where your friend/main boy/girl is also your rival.

Narutonoor July 5th, 2007 12:27 PM

Yea Gary was badass and he got mad girls (manga), but if you do read the Manga you would know that Silver, the rival from G/S/C was Giovani's son, but he hated everything his dad stood for, but he was still a bad apple, so of course he was badass too, but I don't remember him being fat...

Actually, Green in the manga was the quiet type.
He traveled alone, so he had no girls. xP
Unless you are refering to the fact that girls go crazy for him. xD

Shiny Umbreon July 5th, 2007 12:33 PM

Yeah, rivals should return. Green/Blue and Silver were rivals. Sapphire was your friend and even your tutor. Pearl is not a rival in any way.

Aymundo July 5th, 2007 12:35 PM

*spits out water* WHAAAAT!?! Silver was Giovani's son? Crazy... O_O

Gary was the best IMO, since he was actually, you know, hard to beat. All the Rivals afterwards were really easy, Silver being the easiest, IMO.

peachesncream July 5th, 2007 12:36 PM

I can't remember any of the rivals very well... they aren't very unique

I don't think that's fat in the slightest. That's just his coat like thing which is extended out a bit because he's leaning.
