Truthfully, I'm an N fangirl. Not because he's hot (although he is pretty sexy) but because I like his story. In my opinion, he may be the most well thought-out rival in Pokemon history. I'm pretty sure we've never had an antihero before. And your feelings towards him change throughout the game. First, you think he's weird. Then, you're sort of his friend. Then you're enemies. And then at the end, you just feel bad for him. And come on, you know you liked that awesome music when he says his farewell:)
