Is he the worst "rival" of the older games?

May fucking sucks as a rival

>>>/vp/

At least he actually gets a good team by the end. Most "rivals" get jack shit or just drop off the earth entirely when the game's done.

>>715793283
May isn't actively annoying

He's one of the better ones, especially if you include gen 5+ rivals
Normalfags have so much shit taste

Barry is a great rival

Older? Black and White is still pretty new right?

Anon, he's from DiaPer, which will be 20 years old next year.

Incorrect. Gen 5 is numon.

>The worst of the golden era is still miles better than the best of the 3D era.

Sad when you think about it.

>>715795821
If you're a closet homosexual.

>>715796271
This. While some could argue Gen 5 was still enjoyable and leagues better than the gens after, it's still a pretty pivotal point where pokemon games began taking a titanic shift in quality in a bad way.

Btw im trans

>>715796475
I repeat myself, any Pokemon game that doesn't take place in Japan is nu-Pokemon.

>>715796060
Ah yes, starter, monkey, and unfezant until the final main story fight in victory road. Truly the pinnacle of bland rivals that Hugh/ Cheren special.

>>715793283
Pretty sure Wally is the actual rival, May doesnt even care about being a trainer. At least she got bettee in oras

>>715796630
May is your rival in the same Sense Nemona is a rival.

Take that as you will.

>>715796630
She gets the opposite starter and fights you throughout the story, she is definitely the rival. Getting sidelined by bad weather is gamefreak's fault not her's.

This fight was great

Even with the shit character design I'm going to have a blast with AZ

>>715796060
Cheren and Bianca are by far the worst rivals of the DS/3DS era.

>>715796630
May is your rival, and the rivalry is reciprocal until she realizes that you're ambitions are way beyond hers. Wally views you as a rival, but the rivalry doesn't become reciprocal until you meet him again in Victory Road and he shows just how much he's been pushing himself despite his sickness.

>>715797220
hahahaha, no
that would be the literally who fatass in xy

>>715797220
you spelled "cutest" wrong

>>715797402
That would be Serena

>>715793148 (OP)
Nah he's cool. He's hyperactive and obnoxious, but not hostile. Also not a jobber. Also at least he has a catchphrase that is somewhat memorable ($1000000 fine if you're late)

>>715797194
It's ok, he has a great theme so I can forget his shortcomings.
They should give him a Pincurchin in his post-game national dex team in the remake.

>>715793148 (OP)
No, the worse "rivals" are Hau and Hop.

>>715793283
May sucking...

>>715797194
his motivations were too Japanese for me
every shounen anime has some character with strange fixations that make no sense in the real world or exist in any western media. I can’t actually believe he was that annoying about some purloin that would be impossible to find in a team that uses purloins.
I guess it makes sense right away, but for years? And traveling the whole region talking about nothing but that? Yeah no this guy is the worst rival

Yes. He somehow jobbed to Jupiter and sends out a munchlax to “help” you in your double battle against confuse ray spamming bronzors and golbats.

>>715797194
While its a dumb goal, him getting the cat only to realize its been brainwashed and turned into a feral creature was a cool twist.

>>715793148 (OP)
Lol no, Barry’s pretty cool. I think his Platinum rematch teams were the strongest of any rival up until Nemona

My votes for pic related. You seriously fight this fag like twice in RSE the forget he existed existed
