Ranking Every Pokémon Rival 

OMG this video is so well put together!!! Like you legit deserve wayyy more subs, youre super underrated!! ^^ also hau is my favorite like hes just so pure 😭😭

Yk it’s funny May’s dialogue is more than Brandon’s so technically there’s a reason she has more character. She’s programmed to speak much more lmao

I love how Hau and Gladion are polar opposites, yet work together so well, like a good cop bad cop.

It’s a hot take but I prefer the more friendly rival like Serena and Nemona. Ones who will put me up other then put me down.

This is way Pokemon Masters is the greatest spin-off ever, as it gives all the main series characters chances to not have the personality of wet cardboard (looking at you, Kalos)

As a pokemon shield player, let me tell you a bit about Avery. He is like Klara, he is jealous of you and is willing to cheat to win. The differences between those 2 is that Avery isn’t as toxic as Klara, but still a jerk towards you. It’s obvious that Avery specializes in psychic types. Avery does move puns (example: “My

My hot take: Hop is the best character in sword and shield excluding dlcs. In this dry ass story of gen 8, Hop's story that he will always be a Leon's shadow is well-written and emotional

There’s a lot more depth to N and his Pokémon than you give him. He’s embodies “you have to be part of the system to fix/break the system” and he doesn’t keep the Pokémon longer than he needs them, not keeping them longer than necessary so they could be free

Bede is simultaneously an edgy 14 year old boy, and a grandma. I will always be in awe of how the designers managed to pull that off and execute it in a character. I love him

The hop and wally slander got me so pressed 💀

W you put N on S tier

One little thing about Hop. He didn't really gave up about Pokémon Battles. He just realised that he doesn't have to be like his brother Lion to be recognised to be as strong as him. But you can still battle him at the Pokémon League and the Galarian Star Tournament on the DLCs, so he still enjoys battling, and maybe he's able to balance Pokémon Battles and investigation, as other Gym Leaders do with Pokémon Battles and their jobs.

I feel like you just never read Brendan’s dialogue, and just kind of assumed he was just “boy May” since the other alternate gender rivals from the other Gens aren’t that much different from each other.

Gen 3 Wally and Gen 6 Wally are different characters in my opinon.

"Gladion's a well written character,"

hop was one of my favorite rivals from across the games. I loved his story about him getting over what bede said to him and eventually coming to the conclusion that battling wasn't for him and switching paths to become a pokemon researcher at the end. I might be biased because sw/sh were my first pokemon games that I could fully understand (since I wasn't 3 at the time of playing them) but I just wanted to spread some hop positivity.

I wish Nemona at one point actually used her champ team instead of what she build up alongside you going up to champ rank. I wonder what she used to get it done before, even though Geeta is the champ so she could probably use an army of sleeping slakoths to beat her

“GO SEE A DOCTOR” i’m convinced he will make me laugh, every upload

What’s funny is that Trever is one of the only rivals who actually mastered mega evolution which is super cool
