"I'm replaying Platinum, and I realized something."

After you get the Running Shoes, but before going to Lake Verity, you can actually have a sort-of "conversation" with your rival on Route 201. Rather than repeating one or two lines like other NPCs and Trainers do once they've said their part, the rival has a good six or seven different lines before he basically just says "enough talk, we should get going."Just a little detail I never noticed or thought to look for before. via /r/pokemon http://ift.tt/2tdNSU8
