9 Dumb Coincidences In Video Games You Just Ignored

3. Your Rival's Blind Starter Always Beats Yours - Pokémon

It’s incredibly hard to believe that across every single main Pokemon game – of which there have been 24 – no matter what, your rival and (often) friend is always a petty git. No matter what, your rival always picks the Pokemon that directly juxtaposes your starter, and it is downright unbelievable when you think about it.

It made sense with Gary because he was just an ass, but in newer games it’s harder to believe that every single time, your friend chooses to screw you over. Often when they have no want or desire to be your traditional rival. And in the case of Gold and Silver, when they have no idea what Pokemon you chose.

It’s especially unbelievable when you choose Squirtle and Gary chooses Bulbasaur. No one chooses Bulbasaur. No one.

I like video games, writing and writing about video games. Expect sarcasm and the dry wit of a Brit. And the occasional rant of a unhappy Scot. You know... the usual.
