The stories and characters are much more evolved now than they were on the original ones. Sure, Gen 1 had a lot of plot twists and memorable moments, but so did Gen 2, 3, 4, etc. I find it funny that people want it to be Team Rocket only, but if it actually was, they would be complaining that Gamefreaks can't think of anything else. I find it spetacular that they come up with different teams that have very different goals and methods (even if they're dumb sometimes, like Team Aqua and Magma) and how is changing the rival mechanic even bad? Having 2 rivals was really different in Black/White, it showed how many different paths and objectives 3 chidlhood friends can have. Stick to Gary, really now?
Well I dunno, two rivals just doesn't seem normal. I mean it's not bad, but I think one's enough. Doesn't always have to be Gary of course. As for bad guys I guess it's not too bad, but I would personally prefer one or two general corporations, that have different members (and maybe different goals) in different regions, it doesn't always have to be James and Jessie. I don't know, a huge bunch of different bad companies doesn't seem natural.
But then again I don't really mind it that much, I think my biggest gripe is that in Emerald you had to deal with both Team Magma and Team Aqua, I mean seriously.
On the whole I'm generally just making conversation. I have a bad habit of going against general opinion if I can't decide, just for the sake of discussion. Sometimes I don't even notice it and I think I have an opinion, while I don't. So yeah, in the case of rivals and teams I don't really care too much, I guess I'm just kind of missing Team Rocket and Gary

These don't really take away what Pokémon was in the first place, I honestly think that all these complaints are pretty dumb, no offense.
If calling your mum was optional it'd be fine but she called me out of nowhere. It wasn't a huge problem but I just saw it as unnecessary.
