>>41769023I hate how Gamefreak removed good rivals like Blue and replace them with shitheads like Hop because "Blue/Gary was to mean".
Rivals are supposed to taunt you and make the player look forward to battling them to prove they are stronger.
Hop is pathetically weak, and constantly acts like he is happy to be crushed in battle and have his money stolen.
Gamefreak is incompetent at story telling.
