Very funny that the only Pokemon of hers that could stand up to the Zebra was the one that she was gonna trade for a random Zorua.
I would like an episode where Pignite stops obeying her (pissed that it's the only one on her team that can DO anything yet isn't respected or cared for as much because it's not cute) and Iris could help her understand it's feelings to make some use of the Dragon Buster Episode. That could be her wake up call to get her issh together.
So in other words Bianca is supposed to be a loser?
I never understand why they have a rival always be a loser each gen. Back in DP it was Kenny and to a lesser extent Barry, but at least Barry was still a decent battler.
This wasn't the greatest of episodes. I hope that it will be used to add more depth to the rivalry betwen Satoshi and Bel in the future. Iris doesn't need to be involved with another of Satoshi's rivalries.
The flashbacks of Bianca joining up with Ash and co. is only further proof that Bianca is meant to be treated as a companion first and as a rival second.
There was absolutely little tension between Ash and Bianca in this episode. Ash didn't care if Bianca wanted to challenge Elesa to a gym battle first. Ash was a little disappointed that two of Bianca's pokemon fell within mere seconds after the battle started.
Its funny because its true, there are no strong female trainers in this show that aren't Gym leaders, Elite's, etc. I wonder why all the female characters must suck at battling in this show. It makes you wonder.
That's a terrible, terrible idea in my opinion from the results of this episode. It's Satoshi who put his journey on the line for his friend Bel, and so it would be a lot more impactful for Satoshi to be the one who teaches Bel to be more respectful of her friend Charbu.
Am I the only one who thinks that Bianca was never meant to be a "serious rival" in the first place? To be frank, I've always seen her as more of a friendly reoccuring character then an actual rival at the same level that Trip is at. Appearing as the token game cameo and nothing else (while the anime uses an almost entirely different set of characters made whole cloth for the show and the show alone)..
Exactly.
I have not the slightest clue as to why people decided to start calling her a rival. Because she is doing the same thing as-in collecting badges?

Already addressed. And the way things are going she doesn't look like she will make it to the league imo.She's a rival because she's in competition with Ash, and we assume she'll be at the league.
What are we supposed to consider her? A random recurring character?
