>>40520780>Blue is the friendly rival done right.What? Why do people constantly praise Blue as the prime example of the "asshole rival", then? He's really not friendly at all, unless you view his attitude as a tsundere cover for him actually being friendly, which still makes him look like a tool. He literally says "It's not fair!" when you beat him at the end of the game. That's not "bro" behavior, that's whining like a faggot. And Silver doesn't even act that high and mighty when he loses.
>"Humph. Are you happy you won?">"… Humph! Useless Pokémon! Listen, you. You only won because my Pokémon were weak.">"…Humph! This is why I hate battling wimps. There's no challenge in it.">"…Why… Why do I lose? I've assembled the toughest Pokémon. I didn't ease up on the gas. So why do I lose?">"…I couldn't win… I gave it everything I had… What you possess, and what I lack… I'm beginning to understand what that dragon master said to me…">"…… …… …… I thought I raised my Pokémon to be the best they could be… …But it still wasn't enough…">"… OK--I lost… Darn… I still can't win… I… I have to think more about my Pokémon… Humph! Try not to lose!"The only time he really acts like that is at the Burned Tower, and it's more because the player immediately falls into a hole after the battle and Silver makes fun of you for doing so. Every other time he seems angrier at himself or his Pokemon.
