Talking all nice to your face but literally so mad that Scott could see it on her face despite moving at high speed on a bike
>>59064255Losing is frustrating especially if you dedicated a lot of time to it and being kind to your opponent even if you lost is good sportsmanship
>>59064255They get outpaced by Wally and give up challenging gyms to go home before they reach the 7th gym. Then when you become champion they call you to tell you about how they brag to others that they’re friends with the champion because of how popular you are.
>>59064255Worst rivals bar none
>>59064255Silver is the last good rival.
>>59064385They cannot be worse than anything post Gen 5
>>59064385Brendan and May aren't rivals. They're just trying to help Birch fill out the dex instead of winning badges to beat the league. Wally is the rival.
>>59064255Did they fix them in ORAS?
>>59064735They are worse than everything before and after them >>59064742They’re both rivals. Every time they challenge you they make mention of seeing how strong you are. They’re just secondary rivals.
>>59064754Well there is a battle that actually has their starter fully evolved, and they lean harder into romance tease with the player character.
>>59064255They're forced to realize they're not as good as they thought they were. Imagine being an assistant to the region's professor who also takes time to show new trainers the ropes, and then this kid from out of town rolls in and defeats you. The kid didn't even have a Pokemon when you met them, and now they're better than you. Has to sting.Also, have you never gotten upset about a loss before?
>>59064735Gen 3 rivals don't even fully evolve their starter.
>>59064762if theres one thing oras did right its fixing the rivals, the post credits fight is honestly one of the cooler things in the series imo
>>59064742>unique battle theme>uses the starter strong against yoursThey're a rival. They just have the oddity of bitching out early so Wally takes their place for Victory Road.
