So after having looked through the teams of the rivals throughout all generations (Characters you challenge multiple times and that are supposed to make you improve), am I really the only one who thinks GameFreak absolutely sucks at teambuilding for battles/characters that are supposed to be challenging/you meet multiple times.
Like, the only ones that actually weren't a complete steamroll were Blue, Silver, N and Barry to a degree. (As far as rivals go.) Cheren and Bianca's are okay, while Wally massively improved in ORAS. Don't get me started on Brendan/May, Shauna, Serena/Calem, Gladion, Hau and Trace though.
What's worse is that they just recycle many of the mons in sequals for completely new characters (Cheren using an Elemental Monkey and Unfezant and Hugh using one too. Depending on the starter, that would make 3. Considering that Black 2 and White 2 had much more Pokémon available to it than Black and White, it's a darn crime they didn't make use of that).
You reckon they actually suck at team building or just don't want it all to be too hard? Or would there be another reason behind the lacklustre team building for such characters?
