Thank god this thread isn't archived yet. Here's my idea for a more villainous type character that can act somewhat like a rival:
>Encounter villain rival right after getting your starter
>His face is covered with a helmet or a mask and he wears unique clothing/armor to make him mysterious and intimidating
>He forces you into a pokemon fight with him
>When you send out your tiny level 5 starter he sends out his huge level 50 pokemon
>Obviously his pokemon wrecks your starter
>After the battle he mocks you for your weakness and says you should give up on being a trainer before you blackout/rush to a pokemon center because the starter is badly hurt and could die from their recent beating
>This encounter motivates the player to train up a strong team so they can get revenge on him later
>He's mentioned and even shortly appears in a couple of scenes but you don't get to rematch him until around the climax. In one of these scenes you learn he's involved with the evil team
>In the rematch his pokemon are still tough but not horribly over leveled like last time
>After you win he's shocked but later gets over his loss and admits he's started to respect you for your perseverance. He's still not a good person but also not really a dick to you anymore
>Pic related because I imagine him looking somewhat like Black Knight from Fire Emblem or Ornstein from Dark Souls
What do you think /vp/?
