"It’d be cool to see a rival that starts out like Hau or Hop, but they increasing grow to despise you."

It’d definitely make for a more interesting rival and probably the most interesting little bit of story we’d see from Pokémon since BW and B2W2.They’d start off friendly with the rival and would be pretty chill losing to the player or getting behind in the gyms.By the end of gym 2, they’d start to be less fiends and more annoyed because you’re doing everything better than they are.By gym 5, your rival dreads whenever they see your face.But somehow, your rival finds it in them to become the champion and they are boastful of how they are finally the one who’s ahead in your little rivalry only for you to beat them in one last battle.And of course their theme is going to change throughout the story to something that sounds like a typical rival battle to more of a evil team leader boss theme. via /r/pokemon https://ift.tt/2R75JpP
