Come ON gamefreak I want this dude to bully and insult me more! You finally give me a proper rival again after what 20 years and this is what I get? Someone who turns from a self-absorbed bully to a literal fairy boy after an old woman yanked him away and groomed him offscreen after like two encounters?
Ridiculous! I wanted him to call me a pathetic excuse of a trainer and insult me and my pokemon, maybe even give me a good kick in the back.
