Don't forget that since you get your starter at level 5, neither has a supereffective move. You can only get the type advantage because he sends out wooloo first and gives you a level from knocking that out.

Leon is the champion, and has a charizard? Wow, I never knew that he was the champion and had a charizard! Thanks for telling me that Hop's brother Leon is the champion and has a charizard! I'm going to let everyone else know that Leon is the Champion and has a charizard!
I bet that the Champion who has a charizard is undefeated! After all, he's the Champion with a charaizard!

Fuck no, he's bad, I agree, but it's one of the best rival we had in the last three Gen. Damn yes he's annoying, but it's exactly because you beat him into submission by the end that it's actually a bit satisfying defeating him.

SILVER: hmph pokemon are tools hmph wimp hmph ok i trust my pokemon now hmph hmph hmph

They're all shit, Bede at the very least has the saving grace of the funny shit with the fairy old woman hijacking his life, which means he is badly written but atleast funny, instead of badly written and... just that. Badly written, with autistic people in this board pretending they're based because they died to them when they were 6.

They don't need to be well written at all. And I'd disagree with any anon who thinks the previous rivals are well written outside of basic children's game character arcs.
The thing is that both Blue and Silver are at least satisfying for most people to beat because they are so stubborn in their ways. It's much easier to feel good about fucking destroying someone who is guaranteed to be a salty bitch after the battle than some friend who will laugh it off disingenuously until they just accept that they're worse than you and there's nothing they can do about it.

Does it REALLY matter though? This is Pokemon, literally the entire single player game will be composed of people that will lose embarrasingly to you or people that only didn't lose embarrasingly to you because you skipped a few npc trainers and ended up underleveled accidentaly. And that dialogue is always hockey and weak, not even a translation problem the original dialogue is often shit too.

At a point, unless you're someone playing one of these games for the first time in your life as an actualy 7 year old, what different do you really get out of beating a loser like Silver or a loser like Hau? Because objectively to me both of them are just people that will lose fast to me then I'll just smash A thru their dialogue since it's guaranteed to be shit anyway, For a RPG, this franchise sure fucking sucks at writing beyond the occasional funny kooky NPC.

I think the biggest thing that made the earlier rivals stand out and seem asshole-ish, besides the fact that Blue and ??? are assholes, is that their fights came out of nowhere. When the rivals stopped letting you heal first or spell out that you're about to battle so that you can save first is when rivals really started being shit. Did that start with gen 5 or 6?

Blue, yes. Silver, no.
Blue was shown to at least be competent enough to switch around his pokemon, have relatively strong teams, and be ahead of the game. Silver was an angsty wannabe that was always pathetically easy to beat.
