Anyone who hates on modern pokémon rivals are just mean.

“Hau is so boring!” “Ugh Hop is annoying”. “ugh these modern rivals are just way to nice!!”

They’re your friends. They’re your friends. Do you want your friends to just be mean to you? They’re your friends and the player character IS friends with them. So of course they’re going to keep chatting with them.

Hau is funny and nice and really cares about the islands, especially the one he resides on, but still views you as a goal in his path to get stronger. While USUM may have made the Lilly and Lusamine story a bit simpler, it made Hau a little more complicated.

Hop has an inferiority complex and try’s so hard to be the trainer his brother is, but can’t get to that level, and can’t even surpass you in the same way. hell, his story ends up with him deciding that he loves going on his league challenge, but he wants to study under sonia and do pokémon research instead. he literally stops using his oldest pokémon (his wooloo) in battles halfway through the game because he gets depressed and wants to just beat you before realizing his goals and dreams, then using the now dubwool again in the final two battles (maybe final three it’s been a bit). he did this LONG before Kieran tosses his furret aside JUST to beat you in the teal mask.

And if you want mean rivals, they are literally still there. Cheren from black and white gets pissed he can’t beat you but realizes that winning isn’t everything. Gen six doesn’t have any mean rivals but the friend quintet really isn’t as bad as most people say, they’re mostly just kind of boring. gen 7 has Gladion. Gen 8 has Bede, who gets literally disqualified from his life goal. And the dlc has Avery/Klara who never really get super chummy with you but tone it down once you finish the story.

gen 9 has Arven, who isn’t trusting at first because he’s afraid to trust anyone again after his parent leaves him for research. Nemona is extremely nice but she’s obsessed with the player getting stronger and stronger so she can finally have an actual rival (SHES YOU BTW). Penny doesn’t count. AND THE DLC. Carmine isn’t the best trainer but she’s manipulative and mean to you before asking for your help when she can’t help her brother anymore and learns to trust you, but is still kind of just a mean person sometimes. Kieran literally goes insane from losing ogerpon to you (not what happens but that’s how he see’s it), and genuinely becomes a toxic person and a competitive (for in universe) pokémon player. the BB elite four aren’t really rivals, but drayton is super chummy with you just to be an extreme ass to Kieran.

POKÉMON RIVALS ARE FINE. THE RIVALS ARE AWESOME. BE NICE TO THEM THEY ARE LITERALLY SUPPOSED TO BE YOUR FRIENDS. EVEN BLUE IS NICE TO RED AT MULTIPLE POINTS IN THE ORIGINALS. SILVER ALSO HAS A REDEMPTION ARC AND BECOMES SORT OF FRIENDS WITH YOU.

The worst thing about Robot taking Rex’s name is he did it out of good intentions. He cloned himself in Rex’s likeness because he wanted to look like the kind of guy Monster Girl would be attracted to and now he is throwing his original name and taking Rex’s name for himself to honor him. Both times he never asked for Rex’s permission to take his identity with Rex expressing his discomfort when he did find out about the clone. Rex previously confessed to Rae he had no secret identity - being a superhero was his entire identity and he died being a hero. Robot will grow up looking what Rex could have looked like if he got to be a fully grown adult, but he will betray and murder his allies and take over the world, so now no one will ever look at Rex’s appearance and name the same way ever again because Robot took his name and face and dragged it through the mud with his crimes.
