They're both rivals. Their character arcs are opposites, with May/Brendan realising they don't want to keep battling while Wally grows into a capable trainer.
Gameplay wise, Wally takes over the rival role at the very end.

Pretty much the Bianca/Cheren arcs in BW but infinitely worse and rushed.

1/2 a rival and 1/4 a rival
the fact that swampert can still get outsped and die to a leaf blade crit is hilarious

?
Dis homie set swampert to level fricking 100
This was awful but ORAS fixed it. Too bad ORAS fricked up other stuff. Wally is the actual rival though.
>“WaLlY iS tHe AcTuAl RiVaL”
Holy Hoennoid cope. You fight Wally twice and once he has one Pokémon lmao

Wow
N is also pretty much a rival
I'd count Arven as a side/half rival
you fight him once
twice
Not in oras, you can rebattle Wally but not May/Brendan
>Wally is the actual rival though
This. May/Brendan is the love interest.
She uses a fricking tropius in emerald instead
it depends on your starter, dumbass
she always has Grass/Water/Fire
imagine having low enough IQ to think npc fights in pokemon matter
The final rival battle is Wally
This one is also really bad.
At least they recognized their frickup and added a postgame rematch in the update.
Mr. Mime gets iron defense? Weird
Barrier got cut
she still uses NFEs in the update even though you've already fought giratina by this point
>He doesn't know
Don't tell him
