He's not the "rival", Gladion is.
Hey
He's actually competent.
Don't tell me you liked the XY gang, anon. LOL.
>>30992924
Gladion is a fuccboi
>>30992924
I love this meme!
>>30992925
BW still had Cheren, plus the real "rival" was N.
>>30992934
I actually have to agree with Mr. Two Genders here because the XY Rival alone was the worst in the entire series, and that's not even counting the other three.
>>30992894
>implying you're not the rival the entire time
you're the first champion for fuck's sake. Literally a reversal of gen 1.

I don't remember Blue cucking us out of a love interest.
>>30993020
The game's files say Yungoos is a grass type, they mean NOTHING.
>>30992964
SM still had Kukui and Gladio, you faggot
>>30992924
being a dick at the start does not make him a rival you mong

I can
and I will
>>30993248
source?
>>30992894
So? His Raichu swept my team in UlaUla on my first playthrough. I can't even remember the last time I actually lost in game before that.
>>30993320
YOU BASTARD!
YAMEROOOOOOO

Glad he had the final starter though
>>30992934

it's like you're asking to be hated.
>>30993283
Hau's your friend retard, Gladion is the rival. What's so hard to understand about this?
>literally the ONLY main rival in the series that picks the starter weakest to yours
>Is still the ONLY rival in the series who's ever posed any threat at all thanks to that fucking Raichu
>>30992894
YOU are the rival in Sun/Moon, because LILLIE is the main character.
That's why in the end the professor challenges YOU for YOUR champion title and not the other way around.
>>30993355
the entire game has important trainers with fully ev trained/perfect iv pokemon
I find that interesting.
Or would you rather go through the same damn formula AGAIN?
You can always play R/B again, but don't make the same damn game over and over just with different mons.
>>30993036
That's because he got there before you.
Guarantee it, when red gets a girlfriend, when he gets into her pants she's gonna have a tattoo above her vag that reads "Blue was here, Red is a loser!"
>>30993481
>You are the rival
>You still win
What did GF mean by this?
>>30993489
>"Blue was here, Red is a loser!"
If I were Red, I'd neck myself.
>>30992894
>t. Swept by Alola raichu
>>30993455
Are you stupid? Gladion doesn't fit the role of a rival in the slightest. You barely know each other, aren't competing towards a similar goal, and don't both have starter mons. You can be someone's friend AND their rival, dipshit. Being an asshole isn't the sole qualification for the job.
>>30993433
Kinda like how your parents hate you?
>>30993489
>"Blue was here, Red is a loser!"
EVERY FUCKING TIME
>>30993588
>Implying Silver filled any of those checks aside from having a Starter mon
Confirmed for retard. Gladion is your fucking rival, it's why his theme is literally called the RIVAL theme.
Also, you were competing towards a similar goal, saving Lillie. You also barely knew Hau either, since you literally start your journey the night you get to the islands.
Nice try kid, you get an A+ for being wrong.
>>30992894
Aren't you the rival this time?
>Player picks starter first
>Player completes gym challenges first
>Rivals usually do this
Hau's the actual MC
>>30993658
Except the player ALWAYS picks the starter first and the rival hasn't been ahead of you since Blue.

>Bring Me To Life - Masuda remix plays as credits roll
>>30993657
Yup, you're retarded. You were not competing to save Lillie, idiot, you were working together. And I'm pretty sure that checking at least a few of those boxes is enough to make a rival. Gladion checks none. At best, you can argue that he's A rival, not THE rival.
>>30993657
Also, Silvally always has a type advantage against your starter, a blatant "rival" trope.
>>30993455
No. Hau is the rival. He picks a starter that matches yours just like every other rival, starts at the same time as you just like every other rival. Gladion doesn't even have the type matched Silvally until his last fucking battle in the story.
It's hilarious watching you fags try and pretend he's suddenly not the rival just because of how much of a shitty casualized character he is.
>>30993588
>says shit like I FIGHT FOR NULL TO MAKE IT STRONGER
>repeatedly challenges you for champion position
>main pokemon beats your starters type
hes pretty obviously a rival
>>30993793
just like Hau
>>30993821
because they are both rivals, dummy
He's also the only rival I lost a battle to. Fuck that Raichu.
>>30993835
this.
>>30993768
>>30993789
I fucking love the RIVAL theme so much this Gen. The Hau FRIEND theme is great too!

Man, I loved Rival Bianca back in BW!
>>30993860
they both serve the role of a rival, you penis
are N and Cheren not rivals either?
>>30992918
his fucking alolan raichu as soon as you got off the boat to the second island (i think?) wiped half my team alone. And I use xp share, before anyone asks. Him and that fucking totem lurantis really fucked me over.
>>30994151
*N and Bianca
>>30992894
because his starter is that fucking alolan raichu
>>30994186
Third Island, that Raichu swept my entire team, and yet the game went on like nothing ever happened
>>30993489
>implying Red isn't his girlfriend (male)
>>30993044
We don't really know if it's a grass type ;)
Hau was supposed to be hard? I never grinded at all, didn't have a full team for forever, and only had a problem with salazzle and wishi washi totem pokemon and nothing else.
Hau is the fucking worst. He sucks the whole time through, both in story and battle. I even fucking picked the water starter. Sorry guys, if you struggled with Hau, you suck.
>>30997355
>Problem with Salazzle
>picked Water Starter
>>30993370
is this a jojo reference?
>>30998192
Salazzle is fast as fuck, and Fairy is weak to Poison.
>>30998280
>having Primarina by Salazzle
>never grinded
>>30992925
BBRRRAAAAAP
>>30993481
Fuck this actually makes a lot of sense.
Fucking bitch leaves for Kanto and all you get to do is clean up after her fucking moms mess.
>>30992894
I mean having the champion have the starter opposing yours was a neat touch
also his Raichu was the real pain in the ass,
>>30992894
I want to fuck him
>>30999034
still no Hau-Lusamine porn
>>31001157
Me too, in the boipucci
I think Hau could've been such an interesting rival if the "kahuna's grandson" angle was pushed more.
He could've used a monotype team of his starter's type. Whenever he battles you, he'd explain the coverage moves and resistance items he picks to compensate, and he'd tease you for not taking that self-imposed challenge.
>>30998280
>I-I-I never grinded
>level 34 Primarina by third trial
>>30992894
>Not knowing that Raichu is his real ace
He also gets a type effective eevloution too.
>>30992894
Well at least Lilie made up for Hau's lame shit character
>>30993481
Pokemon Sun and Moon 2 with Lilie as the playable character, do it!
