What happened to bully rivals?
Bullying isn't cool, anon!
Safe space pc culture
There never WAS a bully rival.
Oak says that Blue has been your friend since childhood. You have a rivalry. He ribs you, yeah, but it's all in good fun.
I know that most Pokemon fans don't generally HAVE friends, but friends being hostile and antagonizing each other for kicks is very common.

It literally happened only once, with Silver. Again, Blue just pushed your buttons.

Silly anon, Lillie is the criminal team leader's daughter. She'll probably be revealed to be working against youbut come around in the end through the influence of your friendship/budding romance

This. Gary is made an ass in the tv show, but compared to other rivals he's pretty much what id expect a childhood friend to act like. Its weird when the rivals are overly nice cause then it feela like you never become friends. Imo their is ribably some weird cutural jpanese aspect to all the rivals too.
blue best rivl

The only one who was ever an actual asshole was Silver. Blue was just a spicier version of Barry.
