What's Masuda obsession with friendly rivals?

>RSE
>first friendly rival that's just the gender we didn't pick instead of it's own thing, incredibly underwhelming not even having final stage being the worst rival in the series until XY friends
>the rival with actual unique design it's ignored for the whole game and only has one worthy battle, no own theme until oras and is your inferior sicky friend

>DP
>again friendly but competitive too, probably the best rival from a Masuda game and ironically the most competitive of the friendly rivals is also the most bro if them all (two minutes in the games and he is a total bro refusing the Pokemon blaming only himself)

>BW
>Cheren, Barry 2.0 but more bland, again competition and friendly, likeable and decent
>Bianca, overly friendly starting with the giving revives bullshit but worse is having to go through her bullshit drama, at least Cheren arc has to do with Pokemon, probably the worse until XY
>And, debatable if it's your rival or not but even if he is not on your side he is more friendly than assholeish to the PC

>BW2
>Hugh is your friend since the start, at least he is competitive
>MUH PURRLOIN
Better than Bianca's shit and the following

>XY
>they are all your friends, fucking again
>Loser kid, the gender you didn't pick too
>Shauna was decent but again friend and an inferior cocksucker
>Retard fatass that whole personally is dancing bullshit
>Nerd friend
>Worst rivals to date

>SM
>another inferior friendly fuck that whole personality is being a friendly inferior
>Gladion
>H-HERE THE ASSHOLE RIVAL YOU ALL WANT
"No"
He is just an edgy fag, on looks anyway, he is a complete good guy
>Lgpe
>introducing your friendly rival...
>SWOOSH
>Hau 2.0
