i love that alolan rivals constantly check on your pokemon and heal them before fights because pokemon battles should be fun and fair. this culture of caring is pure and wholesome and everything i need in this Garbage Year of 2016
no. fuck that. i want my rival to trip me and kick sand in my face. i want my rival to tell me i’m pure shit and always be 2 steps ahead of me. i want to feel the burning fury to pulverize my rival. i want my rival to ambush me on nugget bridge after i’ve spent 2 hours wandering through a cave
