He's got to be the most annoying rival. Why do people like him?
>>59094644Zoomzooms first Pokemon game nostalgia
>>59094644He's kind of a fun midpoint between the nice and jerk rivals of the past. He was also very competent, with a generally killer team.
>>59094644SXXX with his dad. Giving Barry a little brother :3
>>59094644He's funny
>>59094644He's actually realistic as the kind of annoying friend you'd have as a kid, instead of just being impossibly nice.
>>59094644I don't think anyone likes him
>>59094644If you actually read the dialogue, he's not anywhere near that bad. He's got a satisfying arc about slowing down and getting serious, he has some funny lines, overall this game's writing is suprisingly good, proffersor Rowan is easily one of the most fleshed out and characterised proffersors
>>59094795I like him
>>59094806Rowan reminds me of Professor Munakata.
>>59094644Nobody likes him, the DS era babies are just the majority of the internet population
>>59094661This. Barry's not an asshole but he also isn't a pushover.
>>59094644>oh no he said thud......4 times in a 20 hour gamelol who cares faggot, barry's based
>>59094644If you find Barry annoying it's because you don't play Pokemon games.Barry talks to you a little, then you don't see him for a whole town, sometimes two. What's actually annoying is nu-rivals talking to you every single location starting immediately with the next gen. Thanks Cheren for pointing out some grass is a deeper color, I love you telling me where to get fighting types for the normal type gym too.
>>59094644He's a pretty good looking shota
>>59094806Rowan and Cynthia's dynamic really sold the idea that she once went on her own pokemon journey just like the protagonists. They tried to recapture that through Leon but its just not as effective given how intrusive Leon's role ends up being.
>>59094780This.With a pretty good development where he ends getting scolded by Rowan for rushing our of lab with no Pokedex and trashed by Galactic Admins into submission. And later he finally gets his shit together and we see him getting two Pokemon that needs actual patience to find.
>>59094646fpbp>>59095644You’re thinking of DP Barry. Platinum Barry is down your throat more than the XY rivals or the SWSH guy, because Platinum is when Gamefreak decided the players wouldn’t be able to navigate the game without NPCs dragging you along at every new town.
>>59094644He's a good balance of friendly and serious. Doesn't feel like he's just there to glaze you
I remember him, and like him.
