  I always felt Gen 3's rivals were probably the weakest in the franchise from multiple angles, so it's really cool seeing them improved! I especially like the extra battle additions. Wally's second and May's epilogue could have easily be slotted in the game in another timeline. I do agree with some of the other comments in that I wish Wally's team kept the feminine vibes, but for what you were going for it worked phenomenially so I can't really complain. I think the only other rivals that really need this kind of work are X/Y's, but that's a lot of 'em and a lot of nothing to work with. Regardless, great work!

  I personally would have gone with Seedot Slugma Wingull for the core. Seedot because it doesn’t clash with the water of Loatd, and Slugma because Camerupt is the ace of Maxie.

  For me I think making wally a serviceable trainer before victory road ruins his character ark- if it were me, I would keep the first team the same, then include the second team at Petalburg only he would have a Shroomish, Swablu and Kirlia. This would show him progressing as a trainer from Mauville, but he’s still a pushover. He could comment after the fight that he tried so hard to get stronger but he’s still weak, then Norman could chime in and say he’s wrong, and that he’s clearly come very far and one day could be a powerful trainer. Then the final team is the same as this video :) I think this would make him more interesting to fight while keeping (maybe improving) his character ark

  Your rivals arent as important as other games in Emerald because there are many of them, not only May and Wally but also Steven. You, the main character, are an individualistic and competitive individual who only wants to fight and beat opponents. May/Brendon rival on the other hand actually cares for you and from her/his perspective you are a friend not rival, she/he is always there to help you, gifting you items and infos. Wally is an underdog from the start, its fair that the first fight is an embarrasing showing but manages to create a team that can actually rivals your at the end. Maybe there should've been one more fight but I think is better this way, since when he jumps you at the victory road is an unexpected surprise indeed.

• 
  @RoryTheFiendКүн бұрын

  I agree with your comments about the rivals. Do you think I made the May rival too strong in your view? Keeping in mind this would be for a hypothetical "hard mode" and designed to be a bit stronger than usual And yeah I have no clue why they made wally completely disappear until Victory Road!

• 
  @NNoitraaКүн бұрын

  ​@@RoryTheFiend I feel maybe you made May a bit too strong in certain parts, specially because I never felt she was too weak in the early fights, despite the odd movesets, in the last two fight however she definetly isnt much of a challenge. But again is mostly because of my perspective of the roles of said characters. The player is on another league compared to them, his worthy rivals are Steven and Wallace, and he is destined to fight in the battle frontier. May and Wally are more like his childhood friends. But for an hard challenge is totally fair game. I also liked some changes like giving fly and Surf to the Pelliper. She gift you fly hm right after the fight, would've been a nice touch having a taste of it before earning it. And also, despite what I said about May and Wally not supposed to being in the player's league it still always never felt right to me that May does not fully evolve is own damn starter, and the las fight being optional is also criminal. And she definetly deserve to be challengeable with pokenav after elite4. One more thing: I think maybe her last fight could be postponed from Mauville to Pacificlod Town or right before entering the Victory Road? So that she could have a nice fully evolved team. Also if I remember correctly if you call her after you beat Tate and Liza she say that she is in Pacificlog Town and saw a massive pokemon flying. So even if she says that her Pokédex is at a good point she isn't really going back home, she is taking the sea route to go back home after. With all the water pokemons existing in Hoenn she still has a lot to do, so there could be one more meeting point with her more late in the game and still before the post game. She is still kinda the deuteragonist of the player's story and she was a bit done dirty from this stand point, should've had a bit more space. Wally the same, at least one more fight to see his growth, he went from a lvl16 ralts to a fully evolved team ready for the elite4 😂.

•

  Wally just is hidden from gym 3 to victory road, and May giving up before she fully evolves her starter is ridiculous. I don't understand it because it really does feel quite simple to improve them vastly, an extra cutscene encounter or two expanding on their character growths.

  Zangoose to me makes more sense on wally since he's actively trying to become a powerful trainer, and seviper on may makes more sense as it's a mixed attacker as may seems to be both working on the pokedex and at least for the time being working on the gym badges. But that's just me trying to sound smarter than I am lol The rivals would definitely be friends, it could be nice actually if later on in the game it became more of a rival triangle and wally spurred may to continue on her adventure instead of ending at lilycove.

  @VaddyLemonКүн бұрын

  So I'm trying to think up a reason behind why May/Brendan's starter isn't fully evolved in the last rival battle and I think I found it. Greed. Kind of. Imagine that you're fighting this pain in the butt pokemon all game. Your rival's starter. And, since you gave your own starter, you know that starters evolve three times. After the fight in Lilycove you realize that you only saw your rival's starter's second form. Not its final Evo. That means that you'll want to trade or restart to get pokemon so you can train it up yourself. But if you don't have anyone to trade with you could also just get the game again, plus a link cable and Gameboy to make sure you get the new starters that you didn't see. Just to be clear- I'm NOT defending the choice of the starter's not being fully evolved. Just giving a potential reason.

  My final team for May/Brendon would change depending on your Rivals gender respectively: Starter Beautifly/Dustox Exploud on either team (thought about Plusle/Minun here but they are better together then separated due to the abilities) Depending on Starter choice, rotate between: {Roselia/Breloom, Camerupt/Torkoal, Gorebyss/Huntail} And finally, the rival would have the Latias/Latios. Maybe opening up a side quest to receive the other Lati@s for yourself. Wally would have: Gardevoir Ludicolo (the dual grass/water typing makes me not want this on May/Brendon but would work well on Wally) Altaria Magneton (dont like this since not gen 3, but better than minun/Plusle and not a gym leaders ace but Manectric could fit here too possibly) Zangoose (hate getting rid of Delcatty, but this just feels so fitting for Wally) Absol I dont love Camerupt/Torkoal for May Brendon since those are the aces of Maxie and Flannery but i wanted to keep all gen 3 mons, which are very limited here.
