May and Brendan have huge caveats with their placement; ORAS gives them an extra post-game battle, an extra pokemon, and a Mega Evolution. In RSE however, they are a JOKE and don't even get their final evolution. The last time you fight them is in front of the Department Store before the 7th badge, by which point you're probably outleveling them and have enough variety in your team to counter whatever they can throw at you. I do agree that Silver is the BEST rival, thematically, even if he isn't the strongest. Kind of disappointed he didn't get Magnezone or Weavile in his final match, considering both were available in HG/SS.

Not really fair. ...Though, I feel like rankings like this should count each generational version of the same rival as separate spots on the list anyway, so maybe I'm extra biased.

I think Gen6 had a lot of great ideas, both for story and gameplay, and unfortunately suffered from some heavy missteps along the way.

Overall, I still consider Gen2 my favorite, but Gen6 is a close second that leaves me wishing it had been given a bit longer in the oven to be properly solidified.

I thought Trace’s Pidgeot had U-Turn But no, he just does cheeky switches. He would be much better if it had U-Turn. Well, it’s annoying if you use an electric type and he switches into Marowak. But if u use an ice type and he switches into Marowak or Vileplume it’s a cakewalk. Make sure he doesn’t switch into Rapidash tho! But if he switches into Rapidash if u are using a. Rock type then game over for him Edit: you said the gen 6 and onwards makes the games too ez. No. It just removes the incredibly annoyance of grinding in the Pokemon games. Grinding SUCKS!
