B/W made everybody think "traveling companions" were okay.

What would change if the 3DS is powerful enough for a 4v1 battle against you and your """"friends""""

Why not just make it a flat six on six

Barry was a faggot but he was a proper rival. Probably the LAST proper rival we've had too.

Buuurn.

I doubt it would be a very difficult fight, but the in-game absurdity of them all trying to gang up on you in a friendly context is strange. It's not like they couldn't have done it though, since that's not all that different from a horde battle. I feel like something similar happened in ORAS in the evil team's base, but that game was kind of a blur to me

You fought 5 Poochyena at once in AS, don't know what the parallel was for OR.
But it was basically just a horde battle with money at the end.

>>30958182

Yeah I think someone sent out 5 super fucking low level Houndours on ORAS.

Barry is literally the worst rival. He doesn't get semi decent until the very last postgame battle

Shauna was just a slut all round. She screams waifu pandering and comes off badly for it.

Trevor and Tierno suffer from not doing anything.

I remember when people thought Z would add dance contests or something and make Tierno more of a thing. After Gym 2, Tierno and Trevor basically do nothing ever again. Their role in the game actually feels unfinished, like a lot of XY.

Serena is generally okay.

They were in gen6. Nothing from gen6 is salvageable except some of the Megas

>>30958320
And the PSS and O-powers
And Super Training
And dexnav/friend safari
And better customization

>>30958328

Literally who?

>>30958393
The last good rival

Yeah nah

>>30958400

Doesn't ring any bells.

Character I only like for the doujins
Character I only like for the doujins
"I like dancing and that is my character"
"I'm boring and that is my character"
I admire what they tried to go for, but the execution was so half-assed that this is just the sorriest group of sidekicks I've seen in a JRPG.

Better than I'll fine you kid that doesn't achieve anything.

>>30958400
kill yourself

Can we take a moment and appreciate SM rivals/companions for not being so annoying and shit? Gladion and Lillie tied into the story, and Hau is the most inoffensive cute motherfucker.

Ways we could have improved Calem/Serena as a rival.
