Multiple characters are either called rivals in promotional material, or are self-proclaimed within character dialogue. [[Gladion]]'s internal name for {{g|Sun and Moon}} and {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}} call him '''RIVAL'''. Notably, rival characters that can be named by the player, will have either their encounter or rival battle themes refer to them simply as "rival," while [[Wally]]'s theme in the [[Pokémon Omega Ruby & Pokémon Alpha Sapphire: Super Music Collection]] is also titled ''Rival's Theme'' similarly to [[Hugh]]'s. {{ga|Blue}} and {{ga|Silver}} are the only characters to have ever had the 'Rival" Trainer class. | Multiple characters are either called rivals in promotional material, or are self-proclaimed within character dialogue.
