Okay, I am the first one to say ............... WHEN WILL WE PLAY AS THE RIVAL!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am tired of always being the good guy saving the day. I want to be the person who terrorizes people, I want to be the one that fights unfair. GF needs to do something:banghead:

WHEN WILL WE PLAY AS THE RIVAL!!!!!!!!!!!!

So you want to lose?

The only Rival that was a bad guy was Silver and he was only the "bad guy" because he was a thief.

And you realize you can never play as the "rival" because no matter who you play as, the "other guy" is always the rival -_-

There are going to let you play as the "bad guy." There would be pointless controversy arising from that that the developers don't need.

The only difference between most player avatars and their rivals is that the rivals are officially jerks to their pokemon while NPCs assume that the player is nice to their pokemon because of how strong they are. Just pretend that the reality is that your pokemon are stronger because you're actually an even bigger jerk to them than your rival is to his pokemon. It's not even that hard to imagine.

Or you could just buy a GTA game.

So you want to lose?

:lol:

that's what hacks are for...

There's no point to playing as the rival because then they become the player character.

 

[scrambled_togepi]

The only reason I would have for wanting to play as the rival, is that I tend to like the rival's design more then the male player character, especially Wally and Silver. The exception is Blue.

I would be just as happy if they let you choose various models for your character based off of old characters, instead of just one choice for the boy or girl.

Uhm, there's no possible way to do it. Even if you could play Silver in HG/SS, that would make him the player character, not the rival. Cause, y'know, he's the player's avatar and stuff?

The OP phrased this wrong by saying he wants to be the rival, but really he means he wants to be the bad guy. Anyway, you already are a rival, but being a bad guy wouldn't sit well.

 

[WallflowerCanyon]

Well... no matter who you play, somebody's gonna be your rival regardless of who it is.

I think that's what this thread was intentionally for also... and I also think there's no chance that they're gonna let you be the bad guy. I mean, cmon... it's common sense. Have they let you be the bad guy in all of the 12 (16 counting the remakes) main handheld games that they've made? NO. I don't even know what reason Game Freak could possibly have to give you that option in the first place... it really doesn't make any sense.

For those of you wanting to have the options of being a bad guy in these upcoming games... look at the screenshots we have so far. Those are the usual male and female protagonists that we all play as... no evidence whatsoever that says that we get to play as the bad guys as an option. It ain't gonna happen.

You are a rival, you're a rival to your rival who's a rival to you.

Get it?

 

[IceBlue]

You are a rival, you're a rival to your rival who's a rival to you.

Get it?

YES.
