Seems like this guy's the rival for the upcoming games. People's thoughts? He looks interesting. Definitely a bro type of rival. Quite like his design even if it is kinda plain. Those shorts are styling though.

That shorts comment reminds me of that youngster who is obsessed with shorts. I do like the design though. It seems like a nice fit to the region from what we have seen. I am curious as to what types he will end up using? Going with the tropical theme Water, Grass, and Fire seem like good choices.

He looks too happy for me, rather have a N or Silver rival with a bit more story and plot behind.

Just looking at him, I can tell he's gonna be made into a meme of some sort.
I like the design, and am curious as to what kind of personality they're gonna give him, though I feel like him being a "bro" type character is a safe bet.

@lin: I do kind of wish we went back to the antagonistic rival style. Even someone who is a dick like Gary would be alright. Avalon: As long as he actually gets somewhere in his own adventure, i'll be happy. The last couple of rivals have just flagged by the end game.

In my honest opinion it just looks like they took one of the old character models from X and Y, gave him a new hairstyle and clothes, slapped him into the game and made him the rival. He does look like the kind of guy who gives off the whole 'bro" look which would make it funny if he got a slowbro in the game.

I'd laugh if that happened. Least your post is recorded for prosperity should it happen.
I can see him with a Slakoth too in all honesty.

I have no trouble with a rival who are friendly, but now I also "grew up" with gen four and Berry was a friend, a bit annoying sometimes but otherwise frinedly enough. I do prefer that the rivals give a proper challenge, I like that I have to fight to win the battles, or else it is just too boring. So that is my wish for this rival.
I haven't played the later games enough for me to say if those rivals are too easy to beat or not.

I'm probably not going to like the Rival in all honesty. Definitely prefer Gary/Silver level of your Rival was kinda a jerk, so it felt like it was an actual conflict I had to win. The last two games, ORAS and XY left me with a bad taste in my mouth as far as "I'm the bad guy rival" with Wally and Serena. I just wanted to let them win once to feel like I wasn't such a terrible person.

Now we've got the game it seems interesting to what they've done. Hau is definitely the main rival in the fact he challenges you so often. But i'd even put down Gladion as a type of rival. If anything it looks like they tried pleasing both camps in those that like happy go lucky rivals and edgy, antagonistic rivals. Prefer Gladion as a rival though.
