    I kinda always liked Silver and Cheren and Bianca a little more than the other characters usually considered rivals

    • Silver is definitely my favourite. I really liked how he pushed you to become stronger, similar to Blue, but that he was a more three-dimensional character especially with his ties to Team Rocket, as well as eventually realising that his means of training Pokemon was wrong and thus eventually mellows out over the course of the game.

    • Cheren and Bianca were always fun to interact with. I feel like they are the most flashed out rivals.

    And I also like Hau. He might feels annoying, because he keeps interrupting your adventure, but I like his internal struggle with who he wants to be. The final battle against him in Ultra versions are peak of modern Pokémon.

    • May and Brendan are great because they are powerful rivals keeping you on track, but also incredibly helpful because that's just their nature. I especially love how they contrast with Wally, as they are like your equal while Wally falls behind.

    • Barry is my fav, because he is funny and I don't find him annoying. Being quite a silent and introverted person irl, I had many friends like Barry lol, so it kind of resonates with an actual friend I would have, I guess. I like his design, love his battle theme and honestly, a little bit like Nemona, the fact that he's always so frenetic and energetic, justifies him wanting to battle so frequently with us. Also has a nice story going on, with the lost pride when he's defeated by Jupiter and taking revenge by helping us at the Spear Pillar and then trying to beat his dad.

    On the other hand, I found Hau very annoying.
