What do you think of think of the very first rival? Do you like this character? What do you think of his skills as a trainer?
I personally love Gary in the anime. In the early episodes this 10 year old rolled through Kanto in a sport's car with an entourage of grown women as if he ruled the world. How could that not amuse me?
His personality matures over the course of the series and the fact that he respects and cares about Ash Ketchum is more apparent (though it was always there if you watched carefully.) The Gary of the Johto and Sinnoh regions displays cool, confidence and control rather than the spoiled brat behavior he showed at first. Which is closer to his manga personality- whom I also love!
As a trainer I think his taste in Pokemon is noteworthy. He not only builds powerful teams, but his pokemon tend to convey a sleek look that fits his personality like Umbreon, Scizor and Ninetales (Manga.) I think his style of battle is more precise strategically than Ash/Red, which makes him perfect for research like he goes into.
