Description
In R/S/E Wally stays with his cousin in another town before his family moves out to be with him because the air is better for his health.You don't move because of asthma.
His bed was on the first floor of both houses. He is the only rival who does not have the second floor to himself, like you do. (Not counting silver who is somewhat homeless).
Why? He can't climb stairs. he can't make those work for him. He's frail, and weak and falling apart. Wally isn't just sickly, he's sick.
Duchenne muscular dystrophy
Main symptoms include:
Progressive muscular wasting
Poor balance
Drooping eyelids
Inability to walk
Frequent falls
Limited range of movement
Respiratory difficulty
"Patients typically require a wheelchair by age 10 to 12 and die in their late teens to early 20s."
yfw Wally is terminally ill, but you obliterated him at Victory Road anyway.
Alternate headcanon:
His Pokemon is a gardevoir. With synchronize. All of the psychic energy she would naturally radiate would probably make him more attune to Pokemon's thoughts and feelings, but due to his illness and people's general avoidance of it, less in tune with people.
Unable to become Hoenn champion, his only dream he wants to fulfill before he inevitably dies young, he moves leaves his friends and pokemon to visit a new region with better technological and medical advancements.
Years pass, and he starters to get better.
He grows up.
And his opinions change.
Instead of being Champion, he would now rather help the Pokemon he is so in tune with- and avoi the people who he cannot come to understand, the people who avoid him fearfully when he still appeared so sickly.
Wally knows little of this region and it's troubles and is easily misused for all his good intentions.
Later his experiences with Black change his mind, and N sets off on one of the legendary dragons to fly home to Hoenn and reunite with his real family.

Also I noticed (Sorry for commenting twice..) that, when get get an E/R/S pokemon transferred from SS/HG or D/P/P to White or black
it says that the pokemon came from years into the past. which means that the years are far apart leaving further evidence that wally DID grow up

It's already canon that R/S/E starts at the same time as R/B/Y/G. I was under the impression that B/W started at the same time as G/S/C because Touya and Touko and Cheren and Belle were all 14, so, three years older- like Red.

except that Wally felt much better after visting Verdanturf or whatever it was called and nobody in their right fucking mind would go out on a trip overseas and through caves when they knew they were "deathly" sick.
Ah well, theories remain theories and I still like to think that Wally's immortal because he's a rival

lol it's more of a headcanon than a theory.
D'; But Wally is so cool! I always loved Wally. I mean, you get to set out on your adventure all prepped with a started and your parents blessing and stuff- but Wally was a sick little kid who had to work ten times harder than you just to keep up. I mean, he ran away from home toward the end there and everything. Freaking love Wally.

ShadowStarEXE In reply to Polyhexian [2011-09-07 15:25:30 +0000 UTC]
I know. For some reason it never occurred to me how much stronger he got or how sick he was to begin with. I just never thought of it. I always thought he got better by the end of the game. He seemed a lot stronger and more peppy, that's for sure. Even when you beat him, he's still amazed and happy.

Polyhexian In reply to ShadowStarEXE [2011-09-07 17:14:50 +0000 UTC]
I mean post...... auuughh somewhere, he seems to have gotten all better, but honestly, I think he faking. The last battle you have with him is in Victory Road, right? He's literally the only trainer to ever come from behind you for that challenge. That last rival battle, pre-league, your rival always comes in the direction your heading too. Silver did it, Blue did it, if I'm not misremembering Pearl did it too, and N was technically already in the league so I don't even know if that counts. But all your rivals are faster than you, if obviously not better. But Wally was slower, he was still to sick to keep up your pace. He just didn't want to be seen as weak, anymore, whereas earlier he almost leaned on his illness to get him special privileges.

I dunno, I think it was the design that set me off first. They look so similar- green hair, pale, the same white collared shirt? They both look frail. It just sort of occurred to me.

I complain all the time.
He became Champion and befor he probably even had a chance to use the title, you took it from him. Entire life's goal ripped away in an instant. He'll always know he's second best, and always has been second best. It's not that he wasn't fast enough or wasn't ready- he wasn't good enough.

PhoenixstarKina In reply to Polyhexian [2011-09-07 11:02:51 +0000 UTC]
but he still had the satisfaction of beating you to everywhere. You didn't have to wait for him to catch up to you, not even once. While he was always waiting for you.(even though he could have done something to help against Team Rocket and didn't...)

That's the thing. He was faster than you. He can't blame anything for his failure but himself. He just had to accept he would never be a better trainer, because you didn't need to pass him to surpass him.

Think about it though.
Lance was Champion. Blue beat Lance. Blue was Champion. Red beat Blue. Red was Champion. Red left to train.
So who became Champion in his absence?
Lance.
Why? Why should the third best trainer be Champion when the second best is still available? Blue wanted to be Champion. So why would he take up a spot as a Leader instead of the Champion when it obviously belonged to him?
Blue is not okay.

PhoenixstarKina In reply to Polyhexian [2011-09-07 19:32:57 +0000 UTC]
But maybe he saw what happened to Red.
What truly did make Red go up to the mountain, on his own, with only the pokemon he beat Blue with? Could it have been the guilt from taking away the title from his old friend? Maybe Blue didn't want the title after that because it reminded him too much of his childhood friend. He might have just wanted to forget that part of their life and focus on the good parts so he settled with just being a gym leader(and being the hardest to beat too)

Polyhexian In reply to PhoenixstarKina [2011-09-07 19:38:20 +0000 UTC]
Red went up to keep training. He had no qualms about it- if he hadn't wanted to take the title away from Blue he wouldn't have. Blue obviously wanted that title. He didn't seem happy to be a gym leader.

yea...
But it's a game and everyone interprets it differently. There's some who say Red and Blue had a relationship at one time, some say they hate each other, there's always more than just one side to every story and it all depends on how you look at it.
