Even though Wally has poor health but for a shy and timid Wally to risk his own life to pursue his dreams is sad but Wally and even though nobody believed in him and with no help he succeeds. The first version of him running away from his home and family then meeting him again at victory road sums up the best of Wally.
I really have a lot of respect for Wally because of his amazing character development. He overcame an illness to fulfill his dream of becoming a strong Pokemon trainer. He is a grade A example of showing that you can succeed with anything as long as you put your heart into it.
He's Message in the Game that you really didn't know inside him: "Don't let Fear get in your way, as long as you have Determination, Belief & Confidence, you can succeed your dreams & goals in life, no matter what gets in your way!"
Wally and N are definitely two of my favorite rivals, both for their characters and how refreshing they were as rivals compared to previous rival archtypes.
Wally is a smol cinnamon roll. So good, so pure. He's like the little brother friend that is fun to mess with and must be protected at all costs. The fact that he was made to have an illness, contrary to popular belief, builds on his character not to make him weak but rather stronger and emphasize the fact that he has to face that struggle while on his journey (makes him more respectable). He's such a cutie; battling him in Victory Road was a huge achievement for him and character development. I was not only surprised in his newfound confidence but also how much he had grown. It was refreshing to see :) His theme music for the battle was so different (nice) as well; I was so proud. The background for the battle was also a good match; having flowers there was almost symbolic to his growth. He's the type of character that makes me cheer for him to get better. I honestly would be more happy for him than upset if he beat me in a battle one day haha. As for the manga, I haven't read the ones he appears in but it seems like his character is much more developed, as expected, and rather than having a less capable feeling, Wally proves himself resistant and determined much like his game counterpart but at a different level. The fact that he is the one to awaken Rayquaza is extremely respectable and it makes me proud of him for all that he's accomplished. Overall, I hope we get to see him again and that he makes an appearance in the anime. Maybe Generations?? Hope & Pray.
Ok so storytime. I was at the Battle Resort, and I talked to a parasol lady near-ish the daycare and such. Turns out she changes to music to a few random different tracks for the resort. So she changes it to Wally’s theme, and I literally almost cried. It brought back so many feels. 10/10 would recommend.
I've always respected Wally. He started off as an underdog and trained hard to have the skill and determination of a champ. His Respirator Suit from the manga looks cool! And though the male and female MC's of RSE have already been decided for years now, I have always felt that Wally could be the MC of Emerald (because of his green hair plus him deserving it).
I absolutely love Wally, especially the manga version! Though it was a right kick in the gut when he wasnt made the Emerald character, something which pissed me off indefinitely... Seriously, the fact we had a fully developed rival with an original story, personality, a starter pokemon he fully evolved, pokedex, and a relevant team to gen 3, only to get replaced by some kid from Johto who stole his starter, had unoriginal development and a team that consisted of 2 gen 3 pokemon completely baffles me... Heck, even the colour schemes dont match! Wally is green like an emerald, while Emerald is mostly yellow and brown... WTH!!? I really hope they do something more with Wally to make him a pokedex holder, cause as it stands right now two hoenn pokedex holders are from the Johto region or have strong connections with it... That number should be zero ffs...
+Murasaki_Immigaru I think so. They just cant change his name if he is an established character. Just like Nintendo couldnt add character customation in oras because Ruby and Saphire were already established
I can understand it's really understandable and I felt the same until the end of the emerald chapter I really liked his development and his character and the ending
+laurasanya Kaneki and Wally are The same person. O-O They are both Kawaii and Badass, they wear a mask, and what about the red flowers at the Victory Road, where you fight with Wally? They're Lycoris Radiata, or Red Spider Lily, the same flowers Kaneki saw in his "dream" with Rize.
I loved Wally in ORAS. Even though I was around, I never owned any of the original gen three games. But it's nice to see that they poured in the extra work the second time around.
Wally is my favorite rival. I know the Genwunners are gonna crucify me, and the "SILVER IS THE BEST RIVAL" guys are going to start a small militia, but I just LOVE Wally! And his theme... His theme is just amazing. (ORAS Theme)
for some reason I could always catch ralts when feeling sad, so I'd make myself sad just to catch one, for some reason it always worked for me. even though there's no way it could really effect things
Maybe it would've been better if they fused the two. Wally runs away with some people not believing or even knowing what he's actually doing, but over time as he goes farther and gets stronger, his family and friends find out and start believing in him. Perhaps his dad finally comes to terms that his frail little boy is a whole lot stronger than he ever thought he could be.
Not sure about you guys but I think generation 8 needs to give us another dick rival. You know the kind of rival that constantly interrupts us and makes us want to get into a real fight with them like Blue and Silver
David Halabi Yeah IF it is, though I'm thinking if it follows the trend then the DP remakes will be on the next major handheld release, I mean look at all the other remakes, FRLG came out on the GBA, which was a major step up from the GB and GBC , HGSS came out for the DS which as a huge step up from the GBA and GBA SP, and ORAS came out on the 3DS which was a step up from the the DS, DS lite, and DSI.
I think what they're going for is the kind of relationship where a character is against you the whole way, but the other one is friendly AND able to explain why the other is the way the are, which should be done over the course of the story, which is kind of done with the Lillie/Gladion dynamic, but nowhere near good enough.
Wally is probably my favourite character, he's cool in game and in the manga. I like how he starts out weak and builds into an amazing character, his battle music is also amazing.
Wally is the cutest rival. Idk the fact that he’s nice to the player helps too. The other nice rivals feel like comic relief or like the brenden/May rival who are there like “Okee let’s check up on your Pokémon and how strong they are”
Well, what do you think of Wally? (Click read more to see a mini channel update) You'll have to forgive my Voice/speaking in this one. I was sick and had a mouth infection when recording the dialogue, so at times there's some weird pauses and it also becomes a garbled mess at other times. Also, I might re-upload this video later on to fix some audio issues, but we'll see how it goes. Other than that, sorry I've been gone for a month! It's been a pretty crazy month, and I was just barely able to make this video and upload it, so you'll have to forgive me ;_; Big changes are coming to the channel in the coming months, and while I can't announce anything definitively yet, I might be taking a break indefinitely soon. But as for right now, I'm going to try and get back to a weekly (or even more frequent) upload schedule!
+Mr Buddy Wally is by far my favourite Rival of any Generation, personally. Overall, I don't really tend to see much of a difference between Wally in RSE or ORAS - though, I agree that the remakes having him develop with the full support of all his family, is preferable to him feeling the need to run away to train if he felt that they'd oppose this. For the anime, it's too late to put him in now. I personally don't read the 'Pokémon Adventures' manga - partly due to not finding anyone outside of the Sinnoh characters that interesting. But mainly, I hate the manga character of "Emerald" with a burning passion; he replaced Wally being a central Dex Holder, and having a key role in the story. ("Emerald" is obnoxious, has barely any personality, interesting relationships, or character development; he could be taken out of the 'Pokemon Adventures' manga, and yet nothing would change, for the worse). ... That aside, thanks very much for doing such a thorough character analysis of Wally! These are always great :)
I feel that out of all the rivals, Wally is one of the Pokemon rivals that has the best character development. He starts out as a boy who’s insecure about himself but with each battle, he finds his stride and builds up confidence. He’s not meant to be cocky, aloof, or outright annoying af like other rivals but he’s got his own sort of strength that made me resonate with the character a lot when I played Sapphire (aka my first Pokémon title). That’s one of the reasons why I loved playing Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald and found something more in this underrated generation.
I usually watch your character studies for your opinion on the manga character since I love the manga, and I'm glad you went through the manga with info on it (basically spoilers) and hope you continue to do so. Thanks.
Wally holds a really special place in my heart as does the Ruby and Sapphire games. For one, those games were the first pokemon games I owned, the others either belonging to my sisters or my parents while I watched over their shoulder. I remember what I first thought when I saw Wally, for one his actions and way of speaking always reminded me of myself as I could never build up confidence in anything. It helped that I had caught a ralts for my team before I met him on the previous route. His journey gave me happiness, I always worried about him whenever traveling. I didn't consider him my rival, that was saved for May, but I considered him a friend from the few interactions I had with him. I felt really bad when I beat him in front of the gym, though was happy to find out that he was out there training to get stronger. I never saw the end to his journey in ruby and sapphire, I actually didn't even go to victory road. After beating the eighth gym, I went back to do whatever I felt like. I was terrified of the elite four when I was younger. I never knew what came of Wally, I thought he did what I couldn't and defeated the elite four. I grew up, I became less like Wally and more confident in myself. I really was happy with my growth, but a bit sad now that I couldn't consider myself and Wally similar. When I did get Alpha Sapphire, I actually beat the game to victory road. It made me really happy to see Wally again, I had the same team I did when I first went through the game. It was a great battle, I really enjoyed seeing how strong he got, as it cemented the thought that both him and myself are very similar. Even though his journey was shorter then my own, it was the same. I felt pride that he had gotten so much stronger, and my dream that he defeated the elite four back in the originals where I couldn't wouldn't be to far out of reach from him. He may be the friendly rival that people have grown to dislike(or hate), but to me, he will always be more then that. He will always be my most dear friend and the only character I have ever related to on that level.
I personally wouldn't count Barry as a "nice" rival. Sure, he's the player's best friend but he's certainly not the kindest person or the most graceful loser. But I'll let you tackle that when you do an eventual video on him.
Wally is so shy and timid he deserves to experience the worst to become a monster like mewtwo. The Wally we all know and love will be so cool! What will be done to Wally is monstrous and so they created a monster.
Plague Divine Well, i'm writing a fanfic where Wally becomes the Guardian of Yveltal to protect the ones he loves, at the cost of being possessed by an Alter Ego. In the end, when his Alter tries turning him into an evil person, Wally and Alter Wally (who's gonna separate from him) will fight to the death.
Funny enough Wally always stood out to me Being a newer fan-heart gold and soul silver being the first games i played- I never remembered the rivals that well, how remembered them was silver being mean or Bianca being funny, but was about it, but I could remember wall better than I could remember the other rivals, he had a more clear personality to me so I cared more for him.
Little lucky cat It's true. He's easily the best rival (Unless N counts as a rival, but I don't consider him one as he's more of a team leader than a rival for me.)
also since Pikachu was Ash's starter in the anime people classify it as a starter... and Eevee cuz it's a popular choice for new trainers according to certain people lel
As my first basic experience with Gen 3 was Omega Ruby, I found Wally an nexpected surprise and he quickly became one of my favorite characters in all of Pokemon. There's just something about his development in ORAS that struck me as amazing and was much different than what I experienced in Diamond, White, and Y (The games I played before ORAS)
Very interesting. I'd never snooped in Wally's house in the Gen Vi remakes, so I'd missed all that stuff. I don't see a difference in the models at 10:27, though. Unless you count the necklace.
Ruby and Sapphire Wally was brave and had a lot of courage to take on a journey all on his own without much help. Omega Sapphire and Ruby Wally was also brave, and with the support of his family and friends, he made his journey. Manga Wally found many ways to concur his sickness and became a hero. These are all really awesome Wallys. I can't exactly pick my favorite.
Wally was my favorite Rival. I wasn't to crazy after everyone else was like him, but I loved him and I wanted him to be more involved and for them to go more into his story
I feel like a lot of people don't like Zinnia, but I'd love so see a character study of her. Even tho she's only in ORAS in terms of games (I think) she can be found in the manga too.
I never realised Wally was so complex and you made me love this character! Really cool animations to match really inviting content. Must take you forever to do these videos and the effort is clear. Top stuff
Wally was a really cool rival to have as a kid struggling with asthma myself. We're both determined and don't get knocked back by challenges so easily :)
Also Wally is an inspiration to me! When i played ORAS I really enjoyed his character and kind-of taught me that I could practically do anything even with my asthma condition! I started believing more in myself of doing sports that involve a lot of aerobic activity.
I'd love a rival in Sun/Moon that was part of Team Skull. Like a real asshole rival who stole Pokemon and such. It would really make me want to defeat him.
Great summation of all his versions! Wally my favorite of all the Pokemon rivals, so I'm glad to see a video on him. (also, really like your editing, it looks cool)
I kind of hated how he changed because he went from cute and timid to cool and strong and like, I don’t think cool and strong fits him very well. I loved seeing his little blushing face at the start of the game, and then he went off and never acted nervous again. What the heck, Wally
💜💙💚💛❤️As I played through Alpha Sapphire, I always felt like Wally was the adorable little brother who lacked confidence who became healthier and more confident in himself and his team, not giving up no matter how many times I crushed him in battle. ❤️💛💚💙💜
I know that the personalities are very different but Drew was asthetically based on Wally and was Mays rival in the anime. i also think him having a Roselia as his signiture pokemon was a reference to Wally having one in every incarnation.
Even though Wally has poor health but for a shy and timid Wally to risk his own life to pursue his dreams is sad but Wally and even though nobody believed in him and with no help he succeeds. The first version of him running away from his home and family then meeting him again at victory road sums up the best of Wally.
Plague Divine Amen, bro.
bro that speech is good :o
Yhea he is very brave
Even though Wally has a very small role as a rival, I have always found myself getting attached to him. He's my favorite rival.

I just like when people are confident, and then how their face change after I beat them.
Idk why but the seeing Wally just running through the team and just pushing them aside is pretty funny.
Some thought it was a jab at players who ditch their team immediately when they found out their were competitively unviable.
Not really a fan of nice rivals but, I've always liked Wally.

Wally's adorable
every time i have a nice rival, i feel guilty while battling them.
they are too cute.
blue and silver was awsome rivals inn my opinion
nice rivals are my fav.
I honestly think he's adorable as all hell, and you bet I was glad when he came back in Sun and Moon.

He does?! Man I can’t wait to finally play it!
He comes back in the Battle Tree, though I have yet to find him, ugh.

the most unappreciated rival ever...
Unappreciated? Why?
Leurquin François Bro , have you SEEN this guy's fanfiction count?
No...I usually never read fanfictions. How do they make him unappreciated?
Leurquin François He has very little fanfictions about him.
Well he doesnt show up enought
Wally is a smol cinnamon roll. So good, so pure. He's like the little brother friend that is fun to mess with and must be protected at all costs.

The background for the battle was also a good match; having flowers there was almost symbolic to his growth. He's the type of character that makes me cheer for him to get better. I honestly would be more happy for him than upset if he beat me in a battle one day haha.
As for the manga, I haven't read the ones he appears in but it seems like his character is much more developed, as expected, and rather than having a less capable feeling, Wally proves himself resistant and determined much like his game counterpart but at a different level. The fact that he is the one to awaken Rayquaza is extremely respectable and it makes me proud of him for all that he's accomplished.
Overall, I hope we get to see him again and that he makes an appearance in the anime. Maybe Generations?? Hope & Pray.
Ok so storytime.
I was at the Battle Resort, and I talked to a parasol lady near-ish the daycare and such. Turns out she changes to music to a few random different tracks for the resort. So she changes it to Wally’s theme, and I literally almost cried. It brought back so many feels.
10/10 would recommend.

Why would they make a sequel like more than 10 years later lmao

I played ORAS for a long period of time and went back to S/M. First thing I noticed?
*My character looked like a freaking spider with her long legs*
Those are just the overworld models, if you go into your trainer passport you'll see your character model looks normal in his/her picture
Not sure about you guys but I think generation 8 needs to give us another dick rival. You know the kind of rival that constantly interrupts us and makes us want to get into a real fight with them like Blue and Silver
And kind of Barry.
If gen 8 is a Diamond And Pearl Remake Then Barry Will Be In.
David Halabi Yeah IF it is, though I'm thinking if it follows the trend then the DP remakes will be on the next major handheld release, I mean look at all the other remakes, FRLG came out on the GBA, which was a major step up from the GB and GBC , HGSS came out for the DS which as a huge step up from the GBA and GBA SP, and ORAS came out on the 3DS which was a step up from the the DS, DS lite, and DSI.
JXGMNG Gladion is kind of a douche. He has Arceus 0.5 as his starter
JXGMNG we are getting Gladion in Sun and Moon
i had the idea for twin rivals one being like the old school rivals and the other being the new rivals i thought it would be neat
I definitely agree with you there! I'd love to see both a jerk rival and a nice rival in a game.
+Mr Buddy thanks for agreeing with me
fluff dafire If you check the leaks, you might find out something nice.
I'd totally be all for this. Gladion and Lillie have the kind of duology between them but don't quite function in the way it'd work best.
I think what they're going for is the kind of relationship where a character is against you the whole way, but the other one is friendly AND able to explain why the other is the way the are, which should be done over the course of the story, which is kind of done with the Lillie/Gladion dynamic, but nowhere near good enough.

Wally is the kind of rival I like best. Someone who's weak that then becomes a whole lot stronger, not out of ego but out of confidence building.

He’s not meant to be cocky, aloof, or outright annoying af like other rivals but he’s got his own sort of strength that made me resonate with the character a lot when I played Sapphire (aka my first Pokémon title). That’s one of the reasons why I loved playing Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald and found something more in this underrated generation.
Wait a minute what if Wally wanted to go to Unova because he is N
Nope. Pokemon anime.
I don't think Wally is N... N was adopted by Ghetsis, remember?
Shawn Manchester,You are very smart!:)
Maybe his a clone
Great idear
Great video!! Please continue making these character studies because I feel that this is what sets your channel apart from the others 👏🏻
Maybe Max in the anime is a minor Wally reference, as he befriended (but not captured) a Ralts?
陈北宗 That might be a bit Farfetch‘d, isn‘t it?
Max is the most annoying child in media
I usually watch your character studies for your opinion on the manga character since I love the manga, and I'm glad you went through the manga with info on it (basically spoilers) and hope you continue to do so. Thanks.
Here's my opinion on Wally. He's fucking adorable~10/10 would glomp and cuddle.
Wally holds a really special place in my heart as does the Ruby and Sapphire games. For one, those games were the first pokemon games I owned, the others either belonging to my sisters or my parents while I watched over their shoulder.
I remember what I first thought when I saw Wally, for one his actions and way of speaking always reminded me of myself as I could never build up confidence in anything. It helped that I had caught a ralts for my team before I met him on the previous route. His journey gave me happiness, I always worried about him whenever traveling. I didn't consider him my rival, that was saved for May, but I considered him a friend from the few interactions I had with him. I felt really bad when I beat him in front of the gym, though was happy to find out that he was out there training to get stronger.
I never saw the end to his journey in ruby and sapphire, I actually didn't even go to victory road. After beating the eighth gym, I went back to do whatever I felt like. I was terrified of the elite four when I was younger.
I never knew what came of Wally, I thought he did what I couldn't and defeated the elite four.
I grew up, I became less like Wally and more confident in myself. I really was happy with my growth, but a bit sad now that I couldn't consider myself and Wally similar.
When I did get Alpha Sapphire, I actually beat the game to victory road. It made me really happy to see Wally again, I had the same team I did when I first went through the game. It was a great battle, I really enjoyed seeing how strong he got, as it cemented the thought that both him and myself are very similar. Even though his journey was shorter then my own, it was the same. I felt pride that he had gotten so much stronger, and my dream that he defeated the elite four back in the originals where I couldn't wouldn't be to far out of reach from him.
He may be the friendly rival that people have grown to dislike(or hate), but to me, he will always be more then that. He will always be my most dear friend and the only character I have ever related to on that level.
me and wally have something in common... our partners are gallades
AlphaGallade 81 me and red alsp have something in common.we both breathe
AlphaGallade 81 same with me. AND we both have asthma.
Asriel Dreemurr me and Wally are both complete losers......
I wish I was as cool as him
Asriel Dreemurr *laughs in gardevoir*
I personally wouldn't count Barry as a "nice" rival. Sure, he's the player's best friend but he's certainly not the kindest person or the most graceful loser. But I'll let you tackle that when you do an eventual video on him.
+Musomania27 was the tackle line a joke on how barry plows into you half the time you see him?
Zeromega159 no but good eye on pointing it out.
Musomania27 However, compared to Blue, he seems like the kindest person on the planet.
Wally is so shy and timid he deserves to experience the worst to become a monster like mewtwo. The Wally we all know and love will be so cool!
What will be done to Wally is monstrous and so they created a monster.
Plague Divine Well, i'm writing a fanfic where Wally becomes the Guardian of Yveltal to protect the ones he loves, at the cost of being possessed by an Alter Ego. In the end, when his Alter tries turning him into an evil person, Wally and Alter Wally (who's gonna separate from him) will fight to the death.
in the Hoenn games his father asks “where’s Wally” and that’s very funny since there’s a book franchise called where Wally.
Funny enough Wally always stood out to me
Being a newer fan-heart gold and soul silver being the first games i played- I never remembered the rivals that well, how remembered them was silver being mean or Bianca being funny, but was about it, but I could remember wall better than I could remember the other rivals, he had a more clear personality to me so I cared more for him.
Little lucky cat It's true. He's easily the best rival (Unless N counts as a rival, but I don't consider him one as he's more of a team leader than a rival for me.)
You in an alternate universe yay im not alone :D
wally was the first to have a non starter..starter pokemon? I thought blue in pokemon yellow had an eevee?
We don't talk about Pokemon Yellow.
eevee is considered a starter pokemon, along with pikachu since they were starters in that game.
also since Pikachu was Ash's starter in the anime people classify it as a starter... and Eevee cuz it's a popular choice for new trainers according to certain people lel
Holly Boreham Why not?
i like wally, when he battled me at victory road. i surprised that tiny ralts become a strong gardevoir and that battle was challenging to me..
Loved your character studies, hope we can see N soon, he's one of the most interesting characters for me.
Seeing him in Sun Moon makes me so happy because he’s so tough to fight.
Lmao that ending XD
now that I think about it Wally's probably my favorite rival.
OMG YOUR BACK!
Eryizo do you like me?
+Eryizo What's wrong with his back?
Hah im a fan favorite
+Eryizo *You're.
You're* (bad at grammar ya noob)
As my first basic experience with Gen 3 was Omega Ruby, I found Wally an nexpected surprise and he quickly became one of my favorite characters in all of Pokemon. There's just something about his development in ORAS that struck me as amazing and was much different than what I experienced in Diamond, White, and Y (The games I played before ORAS)
now he's in sun and moon
Yes he is
Also red,blue, and the champion of diamond and pearl
oh yea, the Battle Tree
Metal Mario 64 Cynthia
Thank you I forgot about her.
I love wally, he's my favorite character. Both versions probably swaying more towards the old one.
hilda from pokemon black and white is not in the main pokemon anime so wally is not the only one who's not in it
+Sailor dang, I knew there was someone else! ;_; Thats my bad
+Mr Buddy oh she should be done next!
+Mr Buddy it cool man xD it was a good video any ways
+Sailor she's not a rival.
+Slick God Well in the Black and White games she is right? But they didn't put her in the anime
I think Wally has a slight altered counterpart in the anime, that is Max.
They both have some deep connections to Ralts.
Manga Wally is best Wally. But ORAS Wally comes at a really close second.
i wouldnt mind if we finally got a "your rival is the champ"moment again
Very interesting. I'd never snooped in Wally's house in the Gen Vi remakes, so I'd missed all that stuff.
I don't see a difference in the models at 10:27, though. Unless you count the necklace.
Yeah, the difference is pretty slight, but its the necklace + opened jacket + the more serious/confident expression.
+Mr Buddy Do you know a website that I could buy all the manga that you mentioned in the pokemon character study?
+T a k a n a s h i M e i WheDaPieAt? Read it free online
Ruby and Sapphire Wally was brave and had a lot of courage to take on a journey all on his own without much help. Omega Sapphire and Ruby Wally was also brave, and with the support of his family and friends, he made his journey. Manga Wally found many ways to concur his sickness and became a hero. These are all really awesome Wallys. I can't exactly pick my favorite.
So in the manga Wally dresses like Sub-Zero?
Get over here!
Only when he was going up the sky tower
Wally was my favorite Rival. I wasn't to crazy after everyone else was like him, but I loved him and I wanted him to be more involved and for them to go more into his story
I am happy that Wally is in Pokémon sun and moon! He battles you on the battle tree :3
Spoiler alert
shocked you didn't mention anything about the journal on his desk. It really expands on what kind of person he is.
The Omega Ruby / Alpha Sapphire Wally encounter had to be the best part of the entire game for me. Anybody else share my opinion?
The kid with an iron will who overcame all odds. Based Wally.
You can easily get a Ralts in that small patch of grass before you enter the Town
I love Wally, he's just so... adorable! (Especially in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire) It really annoys me that he never appeared in the Pokemon anime.
wally is still the best friendly rival to date
Wally is my favorite npc trainer! Thanks for creating this (incredibly wellmade) video! :D
my favorite is barry
my favorite is Collector Edwin from ORAS
Wally in the manga:
Half pokemon trainer.
Half Sith Lord.
100% child leukemia patient.
What's not to love?!
NekoChan Your comment makes me want to read the manga.
The way Wally throws the pokeball in ORAS cracked me up
is it just me, or do i ship wally and the player too much
It's probably just you
what does DC stand for? It's definitely just you
Timmy Penic oh okay >.>
what does DC stand for? no don't listen to them. I think wally x may would work especially with how happy he is to see you.
Samantha Anne why thank you
I feel like a lot of people don't like Zinnia, but I'd love so see a character study of her. Even tho she's only in ORAS in terms of games (I think) she can be found in the manga too.
I do not know if you take suggestions, but I would love to see a character study on Pearl/Barry/Jun/etc.! :)
DAYUM when did Wally get so good at team building he's team shares pretty much no weaknesses !
He makes Red look so tame with that team.
This was awesome! Keep up the good work!
wally should have been the champion in emerald
The descendant of ninjas.
I never realised Wally was so complex and you made me love this character! Really cool animations to match really inviting content. Must take you forever to do these videos and the effort is clear. Top stuff
Gen 1 and 2: Douche rivals
Gen 3 and I think 5, 6 and 7 fall into this spot as well: Nice rivals
Gen 4: Mental case; ignorant (best)
Wally was a really cool rival to have as a kid struggling with asthma myself. We're both determined and don't get knocked back by challenges so easily :)
7th gen Wally appears
Wow the Manga is makes me know a lot more about Wally! XD he's my favorite character and I just love him! :3
Also Wally is an inspiration to me! When i played ORAS I really enjoyed his character and kind-of taught me that I could practically do anything even with my asthma condition! I started believing more in myself of doing sports that involve a lot of aerobic activity.
I'd love a rival in Sun/Moon that was part of Team Skull. Like a real asshole rival who stole Pokemon and such. It would really make me want to defeat him.
Agreed. There are way too many friendly rivals.
Meet Gladion.
Callux it perfectly describes Gladion
That perfectly describes Gladion.
I love Wally, he’s one of my favorite rivals. I wish he had his ninja-like suit in the games
Wally is my favorite rival, and one of my favorite Video game characters of all time. So glad he's in Sun and Moon
Great summation of all his versions! Wally my favorite of all the Pokemon rivals, so I'm glad to see a video on him. (also, really like your editing, it looks cool)
Wall is cute does any on agree
Yep. He's very adorable. He reminds me of a small child.
I don't agree. What is cute about walls? XD
Lol *wally* typos r annoying
I kind of hated how he changed because he went from cute and timid to cool and strong and like, I don’t think cool and strong fits him very well. I loved seeing his little blushing face at the start of the game, and then he went off and never acted nervous again. What the heck, Wally
i prefer floor
Thank you Mr. Buddy for promoting the Pokemon Adventures Manga! More people should read them.
Finally somebody who knows how to say Rayquaza.
💜💙💚💛❤️As I played through Alpha Sapphire, I always felt like Wally was the adorable little brother who lacked confidence who became healthier and more confident in himself and his team, not giving up no matter how many times I crushed him in battle. ❤️💛💚💙💜
I know that the personalities are very different but Drew was asthetically based on Wally and was Mays rival in the anime. i also think him having a Roselia as his signiture pokemon was a reference to Wally having one in every incarnation.
I feel like we can all agree that that Wally is just a loveable sweet heart.
