All of the Rivals have annoying timing. I always hate how in Ruby/S/E the Rival shows up on mid way through the route under the bike path on the way to the electric gym.
Rivals are pokemons most annoying trait, i mean i have heart gold soul silver and he always appears at the most terrible time.
"I know you have infiltrated team rocket's base and only have 2 pokemon left and 1 is badly beat up and the other is poisend from toxic but YOU MUST BATTLE ME" I mean that really happened with me.
I really hated Wally in R/S/E because he always seemed to spring up when I least expected him. (just like the Spanish Inquisition) And that was on top of the usual rival. I always took great pleasure in crushing his Ralts.
I always thought it was a bit weird how Gary/Douche would always act like he was better than you, even if you'd beaten him in every prior match. (I'd always reset if I lost, even if it meant having to go through the entire S.S. Anne again.

I've never played a pokemon game for more than 5 minutes, but it sounds like naming your rival "The Spanish Inquisition" would be the best thing ever.
Yeah, I was going to ask, is it latin letters, or kana? Because 5 kana would be plenty.
Probably in Japanese they can put them in Hiragana, Katakana and Romanji (And maybe some Kanjis!). But that was a lot time ago I played a Japanese Pokemon ROM so I'm not really sure
The rival in Gold and Silver is a jerk off. He steals pokemon, has disgusting long purple red hair, insults you, mistreats pokemon, and doesn't even realise it. But, you can 1up him because we get to choose what his name is!
Also, Eusine in Crystal is just as bad, so there's two in that game! (Best Game Ever)

Japanese has kanji, which are ideograms (one sign=one concept) and were borrowed from Chinese.
However, before that and still to this day, it also has had "syllable alphabets", called kana (hiragana for japanese, katakana for words coming from other languages). These are syllables (ka, ki, ga...), except for the vowels that are also available on their own, and n that also has its own sign.
So you can write someone's name with one or several kanji, or with kana. Since pokemon is intended for kids and kids don't know many kanji, games for them (and manga, etc) tend to be in kana.

Hmm.. Sounds pretty sensible. So that would mean that a word with 5 kana would be a word with 5 syllables?

Okay, some Pokemon are retarded.

That would be awesome, but they don't give you enough letter spaces for that. Boo.
would SpanInq fit?
I'd just go with "BOOBS" for everything then.
Considering either character for them is a syllable except for a, e, i, o, u and n?

Basically, yes, but N on its own (without anything following it) counts as a syllable too.
Yes. And in romaji you'd write it "kan". (Romaji is a way to write Japanese using Roman letters.)
