10 Most Annoying Video Game Characters Ever
5. Your Rival (Pokémon Red/Blue)
It is one of the great feelings of Pokémon: defeating the Elite Four and hearing Lance, the dragon master, say those wonderful words, before getting a harsh reality check: You are now the Pokémon league Champion! Or, you would have been, but you have one more challenge ahead. You have to face another trainer! No, surely not... but yes, it was true. Few things were more annoying in these otherwise fantastic games than knowing that your rival had already done everything you accomplish. There is a good reason why his grandfather, the great Professor Oak, clearly preferred you, the player, to him, and why the first thing to come to mind when naming him at the beginning of the game was usually Douche. For someone who was generally pretty easy to pummel into the ground, he always had to be one step ahead, and he was never averse to letting you know it. He would happily jump out and battle you when you least expect it, before youve had a chance to check out where you are on your town map... which he specifically told his sister not to give to you.
