I can't believe that they still don't understand how to do the "friendly rival" thing.
The reason why Blue and Silver were such pricks is because you were supposed to WANT to beat them and take them down a few pegs. With Hop, you're just constantly smashing his face into the dirt despite the fact that he clearly already feels inferior from living in his brother's shadow.
Leon was the one who really needed to be brought down to earth, the motherfucker dresses like the Emperor of Soccer and everyone constantly hypes him up as "unbeatable".
Friendly rivals should be fought alongside in Double Battles much more than fought against. They shouldn't be competing with the player, who they'll never beat, and instead should be fighting together with them most of the time.
I don't get how they keep screwing up something so basic.
