>>39377152You know damn well at least one of these characters isn't going to do any battling and is instead gonna be babysat by you.
>>39376903I'm gonna be real with you man, the whole "happy rival becoming angry and joining the evil team" shit is starting to be suggest so fucking often it's feeling a bit stale.
What I personally want is a rival who means serious business in battle and can totally talk shit, but is also a decent person at heart.
Like, a kind of person who would use a Ghost Pokemon to scare you so hard you faint just to replace your entire team's items with Toxic Orbs, but at the same time would also save you from being ambushed by evil team members or something.
