>rivals then>"Hey loser, I'm gonna kick your ass. Whatever, I wasn't even trying. Smell ya later!">rivals also then>"omigosh hiiiiii neighborino! we're totes besties, take this HM!">rivals now>"why, Anon? why can't I defeat you? this is my dream and you're crushing it... all my life I've put up a cheerful mask but every loss a bit of it is chipped away..."I feel kinda bad. Can we go back to mean rivals or friendly rivals instead of mindbreak rivals?
>>56222030>anon discovers diversity
we already did
>>56222043This. SV basically had all those archetypes, and that's a good thing.
>>56222030Blame Gen 3
>>56222043>>56222090Man SVfags are fucking delusional lmao.
>>56222043I wish their designs were good
>>56222100There is no delusion there.Carmine is the first type.Nemona is the second type.Kieran is the third type.
>>56222043None of these generic and bland shitters feel like rivals.
>>56222094I love RSE to death but yeah the Hoenn rivals are fucking terrible. Blue & Barry are the best rivals in the mainline series. Blue is hands down the best "rival" rival and Barry the best "friendly" rival. Blue still takes first place though. His battles were actually challenging and it always gave off the impression that he was one step ahead of you.
>>56222102I still don't get why people don't like them, they just look like Pokémon characters to meWhat the problem?
>>56222118I dunno, that "double" battle where Barry sends out a useless Munchlax while you fight 1v2 against Galactic grunts is pretty hard.
>>56222121They don't look like Pokemon characters at all
>>56222117how does nemona not feel like a rivalher whole deal is that she's obsessed with battling and wants you to become stronger than her
>>56222134What is a Pokemon character meant to look like? Arven in particular looks like a 10/10 design while the other two are bogged down by too much details and trinkets.
>>56222134How? They look way more like Pokémon characters than this ugly fuck.
>>56222043>>56222090the only good one was Arven
>>56222030Gamefreak thinks Silver and the like are too hot for Nukids>>56222032>diversity is shitbut it was supposed to be our strength
>>56222273But people are really horny for Kieran tho
>>56222156wrong!
>>56222332>ugly amorphous fatass with a pile of shit on his head looks more like a Pokémon character than a pretty tomboy in a sporty school uniformAll right bro.
>>56222030>friendly rivals instead of mindbreak rivalsno
