1. Gary. Though lately he's a little on the short side -I don't know what it is. O.o Still, didn't have to think long here. The Kanto rival has always been my favourite character, whether in the game, anime or manga :D
2. Ash. I like him best when he has his cap off and his hair is wet. Even though that seldom happens. But yeah, he definitely has a certain appeal to him <3
3. Paul. Oh come on. Evil or not, don't you like it how his hair flows? ;D
@ MissHawthorne: Isn't really the place to discuss shippings, but I kinda agree with you. Not too sure if the Japanese anime really hinted that much at Pallet, but it's for sure that the shipping is popular there. And with me, hohoho. >D
(I wouldn't typify Gary as a gay character, though; I mean, if you do that you can typify almost all the anime characters as gay, oblivious as they are...)
Second your first comment by the way :)
@ Vernikova: That Giovanni pic makes me crack up every time. Even though it's Meowth's fantasy.... which makes it a little creepy if you know what I mean XD;
