Only Serena is a rival, just because you fight a character it doesn't mean it's a rival. Eusine isn't a rival.

Kalem and Serena were between mediocre and decent and Shauna was okay.

Tierno and Trevor were boring.

I actually like Serena/Calem fairly well

The other three are shit, Tierno is literally nothing, Shauna they try to do Bianca again with trying to find herself but she never really does do it, Trevor is the biggest fuckup because the whole Pokedex rival thing seemed to have been done right for once gameplay-wise with the comparisons but it's literally impossible to lose some of the checks, Trevor also actually has a pretty interesting backstory hidden away in optional NPC dialogue but they do fucking nothing with it and we never got a Z to try and expand on it

The first forest when you start the game is the only time they were utilized well. I feel like gamefreak designed them around that area then just tried to shove them in elsewhere, even though none of them are that interesting.

waste of good potential. If they'd each stuck to a gimmick it might have actually been interesting. A combat rival, a contest rival, a rare move centric rival, and a rare mon centric rival would've been interesting and given kids small goals to juggle as they went through their adventure, picking the rivals they liked or disliked to compare themselves with. Instead they were all luke warm and most of them underutilized.

Anyway, Trevor and Tierno felt like wasted potential, since Trevor's whole science fan/dex completion aspect is completely overlooked, while Tierno was added into a game without contests, making his gimmick almost pointless, and neither of them did anything relevant when they showed up. Calem was Brendan 2.0, and Shauna was annoying, probably my least favorite.

I had the same problem with Dexio and Sina, it was nice having assistants go out and do things for the professor, but all they really did was upgrade your dex and nothing more. At least SM gave them monotype teams.

It's impressive.

There are four(4)(IV) rivals in gen 6 and each one somehow manages to be the worst rival in the entire franchise for one reason of another.

At least Shauna is damn sexy.

They really should have been mashed into one character. And for fucks sake if your only gonna these useless friend rivals that never get more than 4 pokemon, at least introduce level scaling for them only akin to bethesda games.

I actually felt bad for serena, you could tell her losses were really eating at her

This. They tried to show how everyone is different or something, but BW did that already

And it's not like what makes them different is actually anything. If you could face Tierno in contests maybe that would be something

If Trevor helped you out with your dex that could be something

As for Shauna....

She is single handledly the worst character in Pokémon who adds nothing to the series and does not even try to be something besides look cute

But yeah, I think he's one of the best rivals. Perfect mix of douche and friend, gets good development, and his team is really solid.

Top three rivals have to be Barry, Gary, and Gladion.

he's good, but green / blue is the best rival simply because he tries really hard to be better than you
you beat him the whole game but he's always ahead of you (badges and pokedex)

it's a fucking side activity though, if you're picking the girl while a man solely for the purpose of the side activity, you like taking it in the ass. also none of the other side activities (or features, like walking pokemon) don't have any gender specific customizations

Why does it matter whether someone picks a girl or guy character? In the end all that changes is the appearance and what rival you have in every game that isn't RBY or SM, since the protagonists themselves don't have any dialogue and NPCs don't change their dialogue enough for any implied romance for the most part.

It's gay as fuck if you pick Rosa though

also that argument's destroyed in recent pokemon games, since B2W2 mention your past protagonist and certain NPCs only show up if you pick the opposite sex in the sequel, like Hilda->Nate and Hilbert->Rosa.
