Does anyone feel the same way? (Pokemon question)?

I miss your rival (Green as he was officially called in the Japan version) from the Red/Blue games. I don't know, but he was the only rival in all of the generations that really made you feel like you had to beat him. Nowadays, the rivals are just becoming another obstacle like the trainer encounters, except with more dialogue. They just don't feel as alive to me.

I really hope they make a remake of Red/Blue, maybe adding onto the plot a bit more and adding some post-story features. Might just be me, though.

Thoughts?
