>>18277062>do you have any ideas that we could a head start on if anyone would like to that is fine as well,Someone mentioned having a pair of detectives running around the region chasing Ricardo, through encounters with them the player learns little bits about what sort of journey Ricardo's been having off screen. The first encounter with them would be encountering a Deputy in Coal town who mistakes you for 'A bandit who's been steeling pokemon' because of your poncho (this would take place of the Ricardo encounter from the demo) He battles you and afterwords appologizes and says the 'bandit' must have gotten away.
The next encounter would be after encountering Ricardo at the saloon and having a fight with him, a Sheriff/Detective and his deputy/assistant show up and get mad at you for letting Ricardo get away. The Deputy explains having met you before but the Sheriff suspects the whole story seems a little too convenient, that maybe you and Ricardo are in cahoots. They let you go but tell you they're gonna keep an eye out for you and aren't gonna let it slide if you get in their way again.
The next encounter with them would be in Cave city where they're still on the trail of Ricardo who's been causing trouble all over Urobos. The Sheriff can't believe you've shown up again and he and his Deputy have a double battle against you. After the battle they leave saying they have more important matters to attend to than fool around with a shifty character like you.
Later they can show up a few more times for sidequests and stuff, mostly just to battle and say a line or two about Ricardo's off screen antics.
The whole point being to make it obvious that your Rival is living an adventure of his own, and not simply randomly showing up to shit on you.
