Is it just me or u all agree that the Rival in this game is pretty lame.
I mean:"Im gonna get stronger ul see" and the next time u battle is pokes are still lame and the battle is pretty pathatic. I dont know but the rival in this game I think is one of the worst ever.
but then again thats just me What do u think?

I agree.

His Pokemon always suck and are easily beaten down.

But the biggest turn-away for me is the trademark THUD!!!

I prefer "Smell ya later!" to thud.

I love how the place the trainer battles in the worst places at the worst times.
The first time I went through R/S/E I got to the end of V-Road and got destroyed by Wally, sad huh? I had to start over.

I don't really like the rival in the RSE/DP series, the rivals in RBY/GSC were AMAZING though.
Gary could get me so pissed, he actually had a good backstory aswell. And the guy in GSC, he was actually mean, you wanted to kick his ass. Though, I prefer pretty much most things in RBY and GSC to RSE/DP, so I might be a bit biased.

You're not the only one who thinks that. I also think that Gary/Blue/Green and Silver (not calling him Gold thankyouverymuch) were MUCH better rivals than the rivals in R/S/E and D/P.

My aplogies on that. The rival is dumb, His moves are random and he seems to not know what a STAB move is.

He isn't officially your rival, he's your "friend", the red-head dude from Gold/Silver was cool because he'd wup your ass and steal the Profs Pokémon.

Really I thought the rival in RBY were a lot tougher than these guys. But its the way the game is played.

Yeas, I agree that the RBYby rival was more of a challenge but not much of one. the most difficult cpu I have played was red on GSC.

He was lame. He wasnt very competitive, just impatient. And he looked ridiculous.

He's pretty weak, the only pokemon he manage to take me down is my Driftblim, mainly because I raise pokemon stupidly.

I don't think he's stupid though, I dunno why. Gary on the other was really annoying, he is very much challenging and you expect him at the worst scenarios, I'm not really competitive and just got a heart attack when he barged in all of a sudden, but I think I prefer Gary over Pearl.

I did find him really annoying on MT Coronet. If he had just evolved his Munclax and Buizel, the battle with he commanders would have been over soooooooooo much quicker. He didn't contribute at all.

Yeah, Gary's the man.

This rival's okay, but he doesn't really leave a lasting impression as a character. His pokemon are mediocre at best, and his personality isn't like a rival's, but more like a competitive friend. Gary was bad-ass, Silver was an asshole(in the games; his manga character is awesome) and Brenden/May and Wally were just kinda suckish. This guy falls short of being a "cool" character, and is really a joke when compared to the first two rivals.

I don't even think he has a name. o_O I've seen a few used as the official name, but no name that really stuck.
