>>48824380I've replayed the games up to Gen 5 and looked up Gen 6-8 gameplay because fuck playing/buying those shit games. Blue and Barry are the only rivals in the mainline series with good teams
Silver is an edgy jobber whose team is always laughably weak.
May's battles are barely developed after Mauville and half baked while Wally's teams reach only half of their potential by Victory Road.
Bianca, Cheren, and Hugh have weak and bland teams.
The XY rivals are weak literally-whos that everyone forgets.
Hau and Hop actively gimp themselves in every battle.
