::: I personally feel that he is a rival because he still battles you multiple times throughout the story, has a signature Pokemon that evolves near the end (Type: Null) and counters your starter by changing Silvally's type. He might not have a normal starter, but neither do Wally, Tierno, and Trevor, and they're still considered your rivals. Much like the rivals from XY and ORAS, as well as fellow rival Hau, near the end of the story he is able to use a battle ability that had previously just been limited to just the PC (Z-moves). He's pretty obviously intended to be the Wally to Hau's May/Brendan. --[[User:Geektreecko|Geektreecko]] ([[User talk:Geektreecko|talk]]) 00:21, 25 December 2016 (UTC) | ::: I personally feel that he is a rival because he still battles you multiple times throughout the story, has a signature Pokemon that evolves near the end (Type: Null) and counters your starter by changing Silvally's type.

:::: I actually feel the same. I do think Gladion is a rival. He pretty much has the role of one in the game.

:::::I agree as well, again given that he appears and challenges the player throughout the game which is similar to how a rival would act. With Professor Kukui, definitely '''no'''. My reason is that prior to the Pokémon League, all he does is just mere tutorial battles, and not real battles against the player, so he couldn't be considered a rival (similar with Professor Sycamore in X and Y). -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] ([[User talk:Tyler53841|talk]]) 04:05, 26 December 2016 (UTC) | :::::I agree as well, again given that he appears and challenges the player throughout the game which is similar to how a rival would act.

My reason is that prior to the Pokémon League, all he does is just mere tutorial battles, and not real battles against the player, so he couldn't be considered a rival (similar with Professor Sycamore in X and Y as he didn't play the role of a main rival in the plot despite facing the player twice). -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] ([[User talk:Tyler53841|talk]]) 04:05, 26 December 2016 (UTC) | ||
