Really fires on all cylinders..

He also tries to take the champion throne from you. While not actually related, the professor also calls you "cousin," similar to how Blue is Prof. Oak's grandson.

"Cousin" is just a Hawaiian thing, you aren't actually related.

Are you ill? postgame Hau calls your mother 'Auntie'

>>31369513
That's common in Hawaii, hell, even in south america, it's common to call your friend's parets "aunt" and "uncle"

>>31369394
You can see me as your rival, but I'll always see you as a little shit.

>>31369513
Except you're forgetting Hau is the grandson of the Kahuna, and isn't related to the professor in any way.

apparently acerola and nanu aren't actually related

which mildly disappoints me for some reason

>>31369557
wheres your proof for that claim?

>>31369347
In Hoenn and Unova 2 you defeat the Gym Leaders before you rival (though after the Mt. Chimney Team Magma/Aqua battle Wally defeats all of them before you)

This guy gets it. It's a colloquial term like "love", "hun", "my boy", "sonny". Seems more common the farther south you go in America

Rival has been a character role/archetype since the first game. "You're the rival" is meant to suggest the player character fits into the archetype better than the NPC opposing you. Why do you pretend not to understand this?

it's like they're different cultures or something huh
