Rival thread, where we talk about rivals Malasada Munchkin not allowed

Asshole Rivals> Friends

I think we can all agree? The only good friend Rival was Barry. That guy got gud. Plus his antics were mildly amusing.

Rivals with character depth > Rivals who can be described with only one word

Barry and Cheren.

Dude Malasadas Lmao was way better than le 1 million dollar fine man.

Barry felt really generic honestly. At least malasada munchkin had some good dialogue and banter with Gladion.

You can describe any of the rivals good or bad with one word

there hasn't been a rival since gen 2

how does N not count as a rival when he's functionally the same role as Silver?

>>31511766
I said "only".
As in, you literally can't do more than one because they're one-dimensional.

You cam describe any of the rivals good or bad with way more than one word, too

Best rival

>>31511903
He is a shitty rival and a bad trainer

>>31511842
he was clearly meant to be a vague role, he was a fake rival, fake evil team leader, and fake champion. He wasn't supposed to actually fit any of those roles properly, just enough to make him an oddity in each.

>>31511985
what did he mean by this

>>31512065
that N is an autist

>>31512072
got 'em

>>31511050
Why are Trevor and Tierno in that image but not Calem and Serena? I know they were literally the most boring rival ever, but they were more competent than Trevor and Tierno.

>>31511050
I felt like Barry was a good intermediate between "ass" and "friend".
