#nemona is fine but i don't find her particularly interesting or unique as a primary rival

i really like arven's story in scavio it might just be the best of the three really. boy has mommy/daddy issues and a cares deeply about his first pokemon to such degree he's willing to chase wild legends of local herbs to help him. not really a rival in the way they used to be in early gens but still full of flavor and personality, and a part of me even considers him a rival in some weird sense of the word? a compelling character arc that pulls you in and drives you to investigate the path of titans further. such a memorable character i enjoy him a lot

#soda offers you a can #i'd say he's my fave of the bunch followed by penny and nemona #nemona is fine but i don't find her particularly interesting or unique as a primary rival #outside of her already being a champion and just redoing the gym challenge for fun with you #penny has. a lot going on with her and i don't fully remember all of it but it was pretty interesting i think #i definitely like the hacker thing it's pretty fun #she's also a very unique “rival” if you can call her that
