Hau will be better than these things, right?

The fact that there's only one of him makes him better than those obnoxious brats.

>>28358117
Based off what we've seen from him so far I'd say he's already better

They're easily the worst "Rivals" in the series.

I get that they're supposed to be your friends, while Serena/Calem is the actual competitive rival, but all of them are just disappointing. All of them are pathetically helpless throughout the entire game, and I rarely got any sort of surprises out of any of them. Not to mention they're all completely devoid of character.

Sure, the fat guy's Corphish setting up a swords dance in my face every fight was funny, but that's about where it ends. The pokedex tests were insignificant as I catch every Pokemon in every route. And none of the battles ever were difficult or felt important in the slightest. That "nickname for you" stuff was redundant and felt like GF was just trying to be "hip", and it was pretty obvious you're supposed to stop caring about the rivals the moment you exit the forest before the first gym.

I really hope Sun/Moon gives us a competent and well characterised rival.

I prefer green mint chocolate chip so I'm still holding out for Pokegirl that matches my taste

>>28358279
What does Pokemon being a kid's game have to do with Shauna, Tierno and Trevor not being annoying as fuck?

Honestly, while I didn't like the whole obnoxious hip hop duo thing(probably because I'm not a kid) Shauna's parts were very sweet and pretty endearing.
No matter what gender you choose she wants to be with you as a good friend and watch fireworks, battle and catch pokemon together and even trade, it's not just a stupid romantic subplot(not that they would have a real one)
So in conclusion about them, having more than two "rivals" was always awful and they should have learned from BW.
Serena on the other hand(didn't play as a girl so no Calem opinion) is the most pitiful, awful anything in the entire series.
She does nothing but whine about losing to you, and how she should be better every time you trounce her. Until you just mind break her and she offers to fight you forever.

I just want Hau to be a fun, competitive guy like Barry. After a while it didn't even feel good to fight rival Serena because she reaches a point around mid-late game where she tells you right to your face that you have her completely outclassed and she knows she's going to lose

Shit got depressing

Why does nobody ever get riled up about these spaghetti lords?
Replaying Black, and "pack of weird kids who sit together at lunch" is the vibe I get from them. And that first step on route one is just silly when I imagine it actually happening, like three teenagers awkwardly shuffling together onto a nature trail. It's comedy gold.

>>28358445
While they certainly weren't the best, they were nowhere near as bad as XY's rivals, and BW2 redeemed them enough.

>>28358445
Bianca's gimmick was being the weaker trainer who struggles with pokemon but wants to improve and she was still stronger than Shauna, Tierno and Trevor combined.

>>28358400
From what we seen, Hau is pretty much male Shauna. Friendly with you, not competitive, just laughs it off when he loses to you, and act as your mouthpiece in parts of the story. Gladion, if he is the one who picked the last starter, is probably the "real rival".

>>28358474
Hell she had a better team than cheren which is hilarious since he's supposed to be the expert.

>>28358329
is she not wearing a fucking bra?

>>28358550
That's an edit silly.

>>28358117
Yes. Even if he's annoying, there's only one Hau. There's no way he could ever match the level of irritation I feel towards the four "friends" from X & Y.

He just seems kind of laid back. As long as he's not constantly talking about his love for malasadas, I'll be okay with him.

>>28358117
God I hated these cunts, Tierno was the only one that was borderline acceptable and I sill hated him. As long as Hau doesn't die track you with pointless shit like that fucking haunted house or try and give you stupid nickname he'll be a million times better than these cunts.

No,he's the same shota garbage as those two.
Girls are superior as always.

>>28358445
They felt like genuine friends. Arbitrarily giving you a nickname the second you meet felt like GF trying to recapture that

>>28358117
Haha, no.

>>28358144
Shauna is a gateway waifu of the worst kind. She's a bad character, a clusterfuck of peppiness and slutiness that isn't very well done by any aspect, but which attempts to compensate for its weaknesses by adding in excessive shipping faggotry and BROWNNESS. The normal anon can see her as the shit she is, and may enjoy her, hate her or be indifferent to her, but all the while recognizing that she, regardless of their opinion, is plain bad.

However, these very aspects that try to smear over the shit of its core make it a breeding ground for aspie, unsociable neckbearded faggots who engage in every kind of faggotry both online and in the real world. She's a retard moe character that tries her hardest to look cute, the flirting, skimpy, revealing clothes, the whole "I've never watched fireworks alone with a boy before" faggotry and everything about Shauna fuels their escapist fantasies, while her non-existant character background, emphasis on her young looks, and overall slutiness makes her fit just right with the mary-sueish drives of your average neckbeard and his sense of wanting to fuck an underage girl. Exactly the kind of shit that makes sweaty neckbeards and pedophile retards eat this shit right the fuck up.

Shauna is basically THE waifu to attract the most hated waifufag fanbase known to /vp/, which is why, regardless of individual opinions, it is the responsibility of every anon to troll the fuck out of this character and everyone who likes it, and ensure that no Shauna threads ever encourage the newfriends to show their faces here.

>>28358445
Except people give them shit all the time for not being edgy faggots.

Admittedly they are a good example of how "friendly" rivals should be done.

Coming from someone who hates them, they get too much hate.

At least when compared to Serena/Calem. I'd rather have positive, upbeat friends full of encouragement follow me around Kalos than one whose all "muh parents were battle experts and I'm a lousy sack of shit who loses to you all the time, anon. *facepalm* why do I fail at everything?"

They were borderline suicidal. Stopping the shit out of them and seeing them just drop their head made me want to stop playing. At least Tierno, Trev and Shauna didn't cut themselves when you stomped their shit.

The only redeemable thing the story could have done for Serena/Calem would be making them join Team Flare after being fed up after not reaching their full potential. Then they could see the error of their ways during the climax and help you, which would make them mastering Mega Evolution in the end much more meaningful.

But nope, just let their life goal be: stand near the Battle Maison and lose to the player every single day.

>>28359820
Well everyone is shit. That's X and Y for you

The idea of having multiple friends that join you isn't bad

It was how bad they were executed

Serena was the only one you were doing anything with

>>28359751
They also had their own little character arcs, while XY friends only exist to suck the player's dick

Fucking Tierno was unbearably annoying. Who gives a shit about that fatass and his fucking dance moves, why is he even a character at all

>>28358117

>>28358445
They were great though, Bianca was all about trying to become a better person and that got fulfilled in BW2 and Cherrn was all about realizing maybe he wasnt the cream of the crop as he imagined and settled down as a Gym Leader.

They actually had an arc to them and felt like friends as opposed to shitty wimpy kids arbitrarily giving you a nickname. Serena/Calem and Trevor especially; Serena/Calem became a depressive "woe is me" mess and Trevor who was supposed to be the Pokedex enthusiast probably barely catches a couple Fletchlings and Flabebes and called it a day.
