Which is perfect for a rival. His edginess is funny/cute to adult players, cool/darklikemysoul to teenagers, and younger kids will want to punch him in the face.

Nice rivals are SHIT. The only time one was done even halfway right was Wally and he didn't make it all the way to being done right.

First of all, not a rival. He's the equivalent of an admin, it seems.

Second, he's not edgy, he's chuuni. Cyrus was edgy. Learn your buzzwords.

Both are red and black and have bows on them. They're at the very least more similar than any other characters, might just be the litten theme going on with them though judging by Gladion's hoodie and Chicken-chan's shoes.

There really isn't a set 'rival-like character' in the games though. They've all been pretty different - compare Silver to Wally, for example. Just because he has certain traits doesn't mean that he should be referred to as your rival, because he obviously isn't.

Not really, he's an admin of Team Skull, he's already shown to be immensely strong, so he's not starting out from scratch like all the rival characters has.

I mean, shit, Sun and Moon are changing the formula with everything else, not having a rival could just be another thing to add on.
