Post yfw you realize that this dork is the second strongest NPC in the entire series.
>>28216679
>>28216679
but he is the best rival ever made.
>>28216679
>Caring about NPCs
Almost a good topic for a thread if not for that one kink in logic.
>>28216679
He actually did have the highest leveled team before HGSS red came along
>>28216679
And second most fuckable.After his father.
He was actually one of the better rivals, managed to fit the bill of "friendly competition" without being an absolute kissass.
>>28216787
Wally says hi.
>>28216824
What the rival you fight twice before postgame. Fuck off
>>28216831
>being this mad that the best rival currently is Wally and not a kid with ADHD
>>28216867
>implying a kid with leukemia is any better
>>28216787
Oh I agree. He's a great rival. Doesn't mean he isn't a dork too.
>>28216824
Wally was actually pretty good too, maybe i feel bias to gen 4 as it is my favourite.
>>28216887
>leukemia
You retard he has asthma. And you know what? Even with it he got further than Barry.
>>28216895
That's why I love him though
>>28216887
Wally's got a nice pace of constant challenge and is semi frequent
>>28216941
>in the remake
>>28216679
Honestly Barry split into 2 is Bianca and Cheren
>>28216959
Wally makes it to the end of Victory Road in the originals too. Barry doesn't even go inside in either game.
>>28217025
He is literally challenging you when you try to enter the elite 4
>>28216966
Cheren is too on point to be Barry. I'd say he's more Blue and Bianca.
>>28216950
>semi frequent
>>28217025
Unless he's a fucking teleporting wizard that can visit new locations on demand, he would have gone through Victory Road as well.
Blue > Barry > Silver > Cheren > Bianca > Calem/Serena > Shauna > Wally > Brendan/May
>>28216950
>3 battles in the whole game
>one of them is at gym 3
>one is at the end of victory road
>one is postgame
>semi-frequent
>>28217025
How did Barry get to the Pokemon League then
>>28216951
Ah yes. Post lewd Barry kudasai
>>28216787
This
>>28217994
>>28217114
Fuck I meant Barry
>>28216679
>Second strongest npc
>Strongest rival
Heres hoping they make him somewhat smogon competent in the remakes like wally.
>>28217034
>>28217881
>>28218001
He flew over Victory Road with Staraptor.
>>28218107
Well he's probably the smartest trainer in Pokemon then
>>28218107
So we're actually the stupid ones for going through Victory Road?
What are the toughest ingame battles? The one that comes to mind is N with his weather teams.
Best rival
>>28218580
Torterra Barry canon Barry.
>>28218673
Actually Infernape is canon on Barry.
>>28218704
That's Pearl's canon, not Barry's.
Why does he have such awful posture? I never played the game where he was the rival, but every time I see this "Barry" guy, I always find it weird that he stands that way.
>>28218754
I like to see it as a sharp contrast to Barry. I wouldn't be surprised If Barry took a bit of inspiration from The Chimchar line
>>28218815
I think Torterra fit his team better, since it has a tree and two Barry's pokémon came from trees.
>>28218852
This. Plus berry tree.
>>28218580
How it makes you feel?
Isn't his name dingo?
>>28218580
>his infernape team has 5 OU Pokemon
Wally too stong
>>28218920
Fuck I did it again
BARRY
>>28218580
it's weird that he has the two rarest honey tree pokemon, given he has the most impatient personality out of every character in pokemon
>>28218580
Infernape's team slays my bussy.
>>28218886
>picking all starters
What a dick.
>>28218960
I like to imagine that he ran into the tree
Wally is probably the strongest npc in all pokemon games
He has a smogon-tier team
He could easily defeat anyone even if underleveled a bit.
>>28219137
Yeah but you need to beat Super battles first. It's bullshit that you need a smogon team to get there first
>>28219137
What if the remakes make barry's team smogon tier and higher level?
>>28219179
>what if we made ''insert character name'' stronger than the strongest character?
Well he would become the new strongest character. Are you retarded?
>>28219199
Calm down its a harmless question.
>>28219179
>talonflame, greninja, blaziken, amoongus, mega, heracross, snorlax with pancakes
>>28218944
Well you aren't wrong about Wally either.
>>28219253
>synchro snorlax
>>28218960
>mind : blown
>>28218960
He is just very lucky. I bet he only used honey twice.
>>28217947
Pretty accurate. ORAS really made me realise how bad the rivals were. One has literally no development, one is barely a rival. At all
