>>39471747I don't know about the rest of you, but when I played Red as a kid I absolutely hated the rival. I don't remember what I named him, but every battle sprite was like my sworn enemy, especially the actual champion battle sprite.
I can't be the only autistic child who thought that he only became champion to spite you and his gramps. Most of the R/B battle sprites feel menacing in comparison to today's fare, maybe just because of the low resolution or nature of grayscale.
