Better question, will we ever get another good rival?

I miss douchebag rivals
>>27692175
Me too anon, a friend rival was good the first time, but the 4 faggots from Kalos are horrible

Nah OP is still denying anything after generation 3. baka

He did what a sequel boss should do, which is scare the hell out of the player by being an escalation of the challenge in the previous game. It's also very, very satisfying to beat him.
Lance a shit.
Cynthia GOAT

What do you mean "good" champion, OP? One who's competent and has a strong and solid team. One who has good character? Or in general?
>>27692058
Alder was the biggest cuck of a champion holy shit

Lance's role in the story was great. His team in battle... p bad.
Cynthia is a better version of Lance. She had an equally involved role in the game, but also had a sweet ass team.

>Posting garbage tier champions and rivals
Should have posted Blue/Barry and Cynthia/Steven
>>27692175
How should a future jerkish rival play out like then? We had Blue be an arrogant and smug rival, whose main flaw was his own pride who in the end is humbled and learns his mistakes as in Gen 2.
And then we have Silver who is a bit more villainous than Blue and outright sees Pokemon as tools, but in the end he realizes that Pokemon are not tools and confesses to Professor Elm that he stole the starter Pokemon that he stole.

I'm neither of them.
So what do you have against Lance? His team may be boring but he is much more involved with the plot than most champions.
Expect compromise. Having a skilled champion with a good story/personality on top of skill doesn't seem to be in the cards. Cynthia was the last legitimately good champion, and probably the best overall. I long for someone that surpasses her.

A freudian slip. I have a big ol' crush on Cynthia.
>>27692336
Cynthia and Iris are best Champions.
>>27694352
> Blue/Barry
This is a great taste anon, but try to understand me Blue was an asshole and it was incredible satisfying to defeat him and Barry was your rival friend he was annoying sometimes, but likeable. We need something like that again are you telling me those faggots from kalos were good rivals?

It was pretty discouraging to see that he already stormed through gyms I had to grind like pencils to go through
