Brendan/MayД«rendan and May are marked this low for just being rather poor rivals. Brendan and May were the earliest examples of the lame rival that would come to dominate Pokemon. One of his worst lines is, 'My PokГ©mon seems to be in pain! My partner's pain is my pain!' No wonder it's hard to care.ДЄside from that, there's a conscious effort to make the character a little edgy and cool, in a way that usually comes across as eye-rollingly lame. It's a feeling that doesn't even relate to you in any way, and looking back at Hugh's role in the plot, you realise that you don't really have to be there for any of his story, that neither of you are meaningfully important to each other's goals. Going back to remind myself, I realized he's basically got one trait-hating the villainous Team Plasma-and it's not long before it gets old. I had no memory of Hugh despite having played Black 2 a couple of times, and the fact that he slid off my consciousness so entirely means that clearly there's very little to the character. Hugh? I mean, who? An easy joke, but no less true because of it. Fighting them is a tiresome chore, not a pleasure, and so for being annoying in a hundred different ways, they get to come last. With four separate characters all having to share the singular role of being the rival, they show up constantly and instantly drag the pacing down to a screaming halt. Maybe it wouldn't be so egregious if they didn't pop up so often. and then they clearly ran out of ideas, because the last two are a girl who's just hanging out with the rest and another kid who likes dancing. There's one kid who wants to be champion, one who wants to fill their Pokedex. The idea makes sense in theory: to have one rival for each facet of Pokemon gameplay. I'll be frank: I hate the Burger King Kids Club that trails around after you in X and Y. If somebody starts off picking a Pokemon alongside you, that's the rival. Oh, and keep in mind we're not doing all the rivals from each game, just the main ones.
