Face it, your rival will now pick the pokemon weak to your starter. This franchise is getting more and more dumbed down.

Hey, maybe the new guy is chill as fuck and battles you only to show how awesome he think you can be.
More likely there are multiple rivals like both BW1 and XY.
I wouldn't really give a shit though. I just want the region itself to be fun to explore.

I'm predicting we'll go back to the 2 rival mechanic like in BW, each with one of the starters you didnt choose.
