The link of Silky is still American Silky (Nick McNeese) instead of Chinese Silky (Yin Yong-xin)...
PS:
Two "Silky"s might meet each other during WCS Winter NA Server Qualifiers and ESL America Open.
However, they missed each other.
Kirito didn't meet Rikka.
(Two voice actor and actress of characters are both from I'm Enterprise -Yoshitsugu Matsuoka and Uchida Maaya)
Yin Yong-xin said, "I used this ID, Silky, many years ago." Silky is his main ID for a long time.
Although many casters (just Chinese) called this ID "Sliky" wrongly, how about you, Silky, sorry, Mr.McNeese?

Fighting that prick in the worst moments when half your pokemon were dead or poisoned or something was half the fun!

Yeah. I think since gen 3 the "rivals" were always the main character's best friends.

On August 01 2016 20:52 Elentos wrote:

Yeah I'll never forget that moment when I had a draw against Blue in Gen 1 when my last Pokémon knocked out his last one and then fainted from the recoil. And then I had to redo the entire Elite 4.

Ouch, don't think i've ever had a draw. I can imagine it now, after he beats you "Smell ya later.."

Also in X&Y after you pick your starter you have your first battle against one of your friends. All the starters start with an elemental move and you fight the friend with the elemental weakness.

I mean, what's the point?

I mean, what's the point? At least Blue purposely picked the starter that's good against yours just to be a dick.

Oh dear. Some rivals they are. I downloaded Ruby (I think?) a while ago but never got started on it. Haven't played any since Gold. Might have to give it a whirl.

After double checking to make sure, I'm fairly certain that one of the rivals in the original Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald is actually the worst rival in Pokémon ever.

Because your last battle against them is before they fully evolve their starter.

Not at all. The cheesiest thing a cheeser can do is to fail a 6pool against FanTaSy and then, after Artosis is sure of the Terran's victory, destroy him in the next 2 games with a 2 base roach bust and a 2 base roach nydus.

On August 01 2016 21:17 Cricketer12 wrote:

They fixed that in ORAS, but yea gen 3 rival is utter garbage. And yes emerald is way better. Unless like me you really like Kyogre. In which case you should just get Alpha Sapphire. You do get Kyogre and Groudon in Emerald, but after the elite four.

On August 01 2016 21:19 Elentos wrote:

They also made Wally stronger in ORAS and he was already stronger than the original rival anyway.

God I hope Has doesn't botch the final series, the world needs more Has.

Wally is a way better rival and you fight him like twice.

I like how the official guide for Yellow told players to level their Pikachu to level 20, at which point it would learn Slam, making the gym reasonably easy.

I wonder if Life broke him in 2015 GSL season 1. I can't remember how he looked in season 2, but in season 3 he looked terrible. Getting 0-4'd in RO16 by Terrans.

Well at least he was good enough to beat Coffee..

On August 02 2016 20:26 Elentos wrote:

I think in season 2 he was still completely ridiculous until the Ro8. I'm pretty sure that was the season where he played vs Rogue, was down 100 supply and 2 bases and micro'd him to death. I think it was also around the time he got 2nd at IEM Shenzhen, so he should still have been fine.

But then it looked like he just stopped practicing.

Barely. And with a lot of help from coffee in game 1.

Oh yeah. Parting is nothing to what he used to be. It's sad to see. Unless he gets picked up by a Chinese team or something and earns some sweet streaming money I guess he's donezo with SC2.

I think WCS changes played a huge role in his lack of motivation. in the first LotV DH he still got to the finals.
remember, he can't play in PL and can't play in foreign tournaments.
