Which Rival do you like Best?

[UberChomp]

I have to say Gary, because he was always cool and chosen the strong & cool pokemon. He was also a challange. =]

Yeah, seriously he has the best taste in pokemon (Alakazam, Pidgeot, etc) <<< (Those were beast back in the day).

 

[Honest]

BAck in the Days were the Best Days. (sigh)

 

[Vernikova]

Paul by far. He's the exact opposite of Ash, he actually appears on a constant basis, and he has great pokémon. He isn't afraid to challenge people and does what he does when he does it. But I don't like him, he's just the best rival.

Gary is the best rival, hands down.

Took the words right out of my mouth, but in the good ol' days, I'm not very fond of his kind attitude nowadays. >:

 

[Pokepal17]

Gary because he is the only Rival that becomes champion.
May/Brendan are the worst because in your final fight against them, their starter has not reached its final evolution.

Wow, I'm actually quite surprised by the lack of Silver supporters in this thread.
Very surprised...

In all honesty, I have to say Silver was my favorite rival. He was the true epitome of a bad guy. He stole his first Pokémon, thought of the little creatures as tools, and only had aspirations to make them stronger. It was up to you to set him straight and teach him to respect his Pokémon. It is for that reason that I liked having him as a rival.

Gary, May, and the rival from the fourth generation weren't quite up to snuff with me. Sure, if was pleasurable to defeat them at every chance I received, but there really wasn't any satisfaction of "ridding the world of its evil."

*Blinks once, then twice* You know how in G/S/C (which I played, when I was, like, eight, if not younger) when you first battle him, all that comes up is ???. Yeah, see, when Professor Elm asked who the boy (and I originally thought he was a girl xD) was, I actually put in ??? as his name. Now I finally realize who people are talking about when they say Silver.

Talk about a major blond moment xD

So, now Silver takes Barry's/Clint's spot. I hated Silver, but he was the most bad rival ever (though, Paul may have him by just a smidge).
