Pokémon Diamond, Pearl & Platinum - Rival Battle Music (HQ)

[@maagic2475]

Barry was the best example of a friendly rival. He wasn't a dick, but impatient and that impatience allowed him to constantly be 11 steps ahead of you. He was kind, yet didn't let your friendship get in the way of him blasting through gyms.

[@gusguslvr]

Yeah, friendly rivals should be what they are. A friendly rival. Rivals in the past were complete assholes (Which I do love), but now they're just doormats waiting to be stepped on. Barry was friendly and stood beside you, but was also trying to beat you. However, as long as I have a good challenge, I really don't care.

[@Rexhunterj]

The Black/White Version 2 rival was a friendly rival with an anger issue. He cared about the main character and stood side by side with them frequently throughout the story, but was always rushing ahead to do his own thing. I personally preferred him to Barry who was a bit flavourless.

[@maagic2475]

Hugh didn't quite feel like a Rival. He was really just a friend with his own goals that occasionally wanted a battle with you, and I appreciate that

[@djinnhoopa7599]

shieldbearer Hau feels like an interesting rival, if he's a main rival than that would make him the first to pick the weaker Pokémon.

[@chung2F5]

+Reshiram May/Ethan (or whatever his name was from R/S/E/ORAS, I can't seem to remember) were not assholes. The only assholes were Blue and Silver really. Serena was friendly and also was a good rival since she always tried to become stronger than the player (even though her team was weak af).

[@goldenhydreigon4727]

Barry: *most impatient rival* Also Barry: *somehow found a Munchlax*

[@Rubywing4]

Probably zoomed all over the region splashing honey all over, waited a few hours and then zoomed around to check them all and then repeated. All while training his Pokémon and beating the Krabby out of the gym leaders and fighting you and catching more Pokémon. I never found a Munchlax :( I think I found a Heracross once though, which is the second rarest, so yay! :D Maybe. Don't really remember XD

[@skibot9974]

THIS is how you write a friendly rival. Rivals don’t need to be assholes but they need to still feel like a challenge and give you a reason for wanting to beat them

[@Zac_Frost]

True. Though, while the asshole rivals are more fun to beat because it feels more satisfying, Barry really struck the middle ground being friendly, but pushing you to be better in game and making you want to win just because he's basically encouraging you to work harder.

[@hardstyleboi1027]

the reason why Barry's Pokemon is so strong in Platinum is for one reason: Barry has been defeated many times by the player, so he trains his Pokemon to the point where he believes that they are strong enough to defeat you, so in the final battle against him, his pokemon are in the high 70s and mid 80s. he's been with his Empoleon/Torterra/Infernape since the beginning of his journey, and he has a strong bong with it, leading it to be one of the strongest Pokemon in his team. Because of the bonds with his Pokemon and how much he trained them, he's the second strongest CPU, the first being Red, of course. Barry isn't like some of the other rivals in the Pokemon series. He cares for his Pokemon. Deeply. Despite all his training, you still defeat him, but he doesn't blame his Pokemon, he still cares for them. If this guy ever becomes champion, I approve.

[@xyzzy-dv6te]

"strong bong"

[@sulemios]

[@Rubywing4]

Yeah, Barry earned my respect ever since I played Diamond for the first time as my first core Pokémon game. Nothing like Gary. I don't remember what I used to call Barry, but for a long time I didn't know his real name until maybe I watched some more of the anime in Sinnoh. Maybe I should try watching the full Sinnoh saga, just to see Barry. After all, it's not like any of the previous seasons mean anything for the newer seasons, maybe perhaps with the exception for the season in Hoenn (I think) where Pikachu learns Volt Tackle? Trying to watch the entire Pokémon anime from episode 1 and onward is... maybe too much. Especially when each season is like a series for itself.

[@mozziemakkau3111]

It makes sense of him to train his pokemons to a high level because in the Manga (where his name is Pearl) he is known for his Willpower.

[@rosheafan]

[@joanne_ying79]

I am the type that loves going on a journey with friends by my side and Barry is a perfect example. He may be your rival but he never puts your friendship away over becoming a top trainer. Gen 4 was the first gen i played alongside emerald but i played Gen 4 in more detail probably because i love the storyline and the rivals, and i played other games but there are some games where i feel lonely. But Barry, yes he may be high on sugar, dragging you to battle flint and volkner at the battle frontier with him as well and appearing at most inconvenient times, he'll always come at a point of your journey to catch up with you before you leave like before surfing to victory road. other NPCs who overhear our conversation also feel happy that it is nice to have friends around. When he tells you he gets strong he does get strong, but he'll always be your friend, such as climbing all the way up to spear pillar(you wouldn't expect such a friend to follow you up a huge mountain) and fight alongside you against team galactic. Of course he also wants to get revenge at Jupiter for defeating him, but he will fight alongside you, heal your pokemon and wish you the best before going into the distortion world, that was a huge favour he could do after climbing all the way up. I rate him as my favourite rival since I love knowing that i am not alone on my journey, we may be rivals after we started our journey but friendship always comes first.

Barry is a friendly rival done right. He's not flat-out mean to you and fights alongside you a few times, but also believes himself to be superior to you or at least your equal and challenges you to battles confident that he can win. Even after getting punked by Jupiter and when he eventually concedes and considers you a better trainer, his confidence isn't dented in the least and he simply feels the need to cool his head a little, put more thought into his actions and train even harder than before. And his team isn't a total pushover either. There's no need to talk about his starter, Staraptor will set up on and annoy the hell out of you when given the chance, Snorlax refuses to die and Heracross is prepared to hit anything you have on your team with the force of a bullet train. He's not mean or a bully but he gets snarky with and talks down to you. He comes to respect you but never becomes your doormat. He's clearly in over his head but still feels like an actual challenge. He's the exemplary friendly rival that Gamefreak sadly couldn't follow up on Gen 6 onwards

[@taverdoo9142]

I'm gonna fine you a small loan of a million dollars if your late!

[@shiomicchi7247]

I actually can't wait to see Barry in the DP remakes. He was my first rival, and by far, the best. Like he was a nice guy, someone who was actually the player's friend (something that I like about the modern rivals like Hau and Hop) but he put those feelings aside to get a strong team together and genuinely worked super hard to beat the gyms first, all without losing the friendship he has with you. He's a good rival who pushes you forward through friendly competition without being a jerk. I always feel good after battling him - I don't get pissed off, but I also don't feel guilty for beating him. 12/10 best rival and a good boi, even if he threatens to fine me a million dollars every damn time.

[@gemcarry6072]

[@islarf5095]

Z moves sure!!! but after seeing the sun entries for megas... I don't think I could do that to my baby piplup/empoleon. My favourite pokemon of all time. cant put him through pain :( if they have mega stones that is

[@gemcarry6072]

They probably won't add more Mega Stones. That's Gen VI's gimmick. We'll have Z-Moves for the starters, and possibly signature moves for them. There will be Gen 4 remakes in Gen 7, there are many reasons why they'll be made, but one that I found interesting is this; In every Generation since these Pokemon were created, you are able to obtain the Lake Trio, Heatran, Cresselia, Latios and Latias, the Regi Trio and Regigigas, in every generation. Obviously they debuted in Gen 4, you could get them in Black 2 White 2, and you could obtain them in ORAS. But mainly, there is a large selection of 4th generation Legendaries that you are able to obtain in every generation. This upon all the other hints towards remakes plus the pattern of it all indicate a remake.

[@guildmasterri5995]

how about giving them both their own z crystal and mege stone in remake? would be bias but it would be cool

[@gemcarry6072]

No that's too much, plus the story points where you get them would be odd

[@ryanstaiger1712]

Barry is better in the games than the anime. They’re similar, but Barry is a bit more serious and focused in the games. He’s honestly one of the chillest rivals and is way better than the recent ones we’ve been getting. Honestly, the last good rival was Hugh from Black and White 2
