Rate that trainer!

[Roni]

1/10 I forgot he existed. I have never done that much Subway stuff in Gen 5 sadly.

Kanto era Ash Ketchum?

 

[ReKoil]

0/10 - Annoying as heck.

Olympia

 

[Zeostar]

2/10 I forget she existed. Figured it must be Kalos before I even checked, which speaks volumes.

Masked Royal

 

[Orion☆]

10/10. Professor, come on, even the Yungoos near the lab know it's you. (I'd chuck in a far racier comment, but I don't wanna break the rules.)

Mustard?

 

[ReKoil]

6/10 when you first fight him.
4/10 when you fight him again.

Another old geezer: Ramos

 

[Orion☆]

4/10. Flat as a tea leaf, flat as most of the Kalos leaders barring maybe Korrina and Clemont.

Champion Alder?

 

[ReKoil]

4/10 - Who that?

Not sure if this counts as one or two, but:
Tate and Liza
Just feels weird to me naming only one of them when they come as a duo.

 

[Orion☆]

I'm gonna pretend I didn't see you not recall Alder, the one and only Unova Champion. 😔

Anyway, the twinsies? 6/10 in the originals, but 9/10 in the remakes for being so goddamn adorable. They're just kiddos who have to get bribed with plushies to help in research! 🥺

Castle Valet Darach?

 

[ReKoil]

Another case of 'who that?' for me.
I never really bothered with the Battle Frontiers.
I'll just go with a 5.5/10 as idk this one at all and don't dislike his appearance lol

Bruno?

 

[Orion☆]

4/10. 3 points subtracted for being in the Indigo Elite Four (that, read with Koga's s***ty fake accent), and 3 more for having Machamp as a signature Mon.

Korrina?

 

[Zeostar]

I'll give her a 6/10. I remember her the most out of the Kalos leaders.

Aquq Leader Archie

 

[ReKoil]

6/10 - okay. Doesn't really stand out much as an evil team leader though.

N ?

 

[Roni]

10/10. Rarely ever uses the same team twice in a row, and he's just got a solid full name~

The random Fisherman with 6 Magikarp?

 

[_confused_piplup_]

10/10
one day they're gonna be Gyarados lol

Riley?

 

[ReKoil]

6/10 - Kinda stylish, but I honestly didn't remember who the heck this was till I saw the pic while googling it.

Cheryl ?

 

[EmTheGhost]

6/10 - not a very important character, but great design, and I enjoyed doing the double battles. :3

Marley?

 

[_confused_piplup_]

9/10
She's super cool. I know she can be quite forgettable, but I think that back in the days when a new event was triggered and there was also a new character, it was a very cool thing. Also her team is great, I love it.

Wikstrom?

 

[ReKoil]

6/10 - pretty forgettable, but I don't dislike him.

Aether Paradise's last line of defense Faba?

 

[Zeostar]

8/10 He's unlikable. That makes for a good villain.

Kabu

 

[Orion☆]

Honestly? 10/10. Even taking out the fact that I like him mostly because he's a silver fox, he's one of the best Galar Gym Leaders. I like how he incorporates aspects of his original Hoennian culture in his Gym logo and team (e.g. Torkoal and Ninetales), as well as how flat-out bonkers he can be due to his determination. Masters, PLEASE, don't screw his voice up like you did with Koga's...

Brycen?
