5th Gen Childhood Rivals and Starter Selection!

I would say the boy will get the one that is strong against yours. Girl will probably just get what ever is left and refer to it as cute.

I think we'll have 3(4) rivals/people to battle against.

1) Cheren
2) Belle (I really like the idea of starting with two)
3) N
4) This great trainer that Prof. Aragagi knows - Who is the Girl or Boy we don't choose. We need to battle them OMG! They'll be the Champion!!! :o

Actually I like the sound of four rivals, after an avalanche of fodder trainers and eight underwhelming gym leaders, facing a tough opponent more frequently will maybe stop me slacking off before I get to the E4.

Cheren and Belle would be your "friendly rivals" who want to test their skills and see how you've advanced, as well as offer you assistance when needed. One or both of these should make it through to the E4.

N is there obviously, running into you when you interrupt his plans and will be the biggest pre E4 challenge.

Number 4 (and there should be one) should fill two roles, first appearing in Team 'X' as a Grunt (slightly more notable than other grunts) and then recurring, increasing in levels and rank along with you.
 
i hope we get to Name Both of them
i dunno... i just like naming Characters in Games XDDDD

I don't think if we have a forth rival that they will be a grunt for the team...I see the 4th one as the Lyra/lucas/dawn/Ethan of the group...

Awwww... but they just got annoying... we haven't had a real Rival since G/S/C (HG/SS if you count the remakes). I want some competition! Not some sad sack who just follows me around and might or might not have a crush on me -_-

doesn't seem like we have to catch one for her. She might have lost one like you said. We have to do something related to Belle and Munna/Mushaana.

Guys, first of all, just because she has a flower in her hair does not mean she has a Munna. Second of all, she's not one of the childhood friends so we should stay more on topic.
 
I just thought of something with all these rivals we might not have an Elite 4 and Champion but a tournament like in the show where you fight your rivals in the tournament...

She is the one who tells you about Mushaana and Munna's abilities. She is also the one that gives you the C Gear. All of the ingame pictures we have seen of her were with Munna and Mushaana. its safe to say she has one.

Now that would definitely be interesting. Like a mini-tournament around the seventh/eighth badge... or something.

Would be fun.
 
It prob be like this.

Round 1:
You and Bell
Cheren and Someone
Someone and Someone
N and Someone
Someone and Someone
Someone and Someone
Someone and Someone
Black/White and Someone

Round 2:
You and Cheren
N and Someone
Someone and Someone
B/W and Someone

Round 3:
You and N
B/W and Someone

Round 4:
B/W and You

Winner:
You

And the Mysterious Champion


N could get some power and change to make his pokemon stronger and challenges you again at the very end.

That seems to make sense, what N entered the tourney but your the champ already!? :P

After you beat him. He could get soem type of power. You said yourself that he wants to be more powerful then the champ.

True he did say that...but then he says he want to free pokemon, uh what a confusing character he is :P
 
I'm just happy about the fact that more characterization is included in these games. Instead of the rival NPC being the basic bratty rival, we get more of an insight into the other starting characters.

Cheren is still seriously my favorite out of the introduced characters. I love his design. Always have. Belle, on the other hand, scares me a bit.

I can't wait to see how the dynamic between these characters work.

As for that battle tournament idea? Do want. I love tournament-style Pokemon battles.
