For 15 minutes, we may get the early game Normal Type rodent, bird, and Bug Type. We may also be introduced to our regional professor, and our rival. (Who may be a total kind-hearted bean.) And possibly the deal with the Gyms and Gym Masters.
I would rather they give us a rival who is a complete douche nozzle than yet another sickeningly happy butt licker.
I don't want chummy chummy best friendo rivals who are super happy that you beat them, I want a literal criminal and son of the Pokemon mafia who thinks I'm a tool.
We're overdue, and given it's based on England the time is right, because everybody is a **** here.
