[πマスタ]

I like red,the suepr master trainer from GSCHGSS ^^

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

I think I answered this before.


¡Thud!

 

[Owain]

N, he got the Legendary, and his pokémon rock!

 

[Fair Verona]

I like Silver, he was great at being "the rival asshole", and yet still getting character development to where you feel him as a character. I also love his design!

 

[Dark Master Draya]

i went barry...
has always been the funniest
and he looks just like flapjack

 

[HexagonStephen]

OH! I couldn't decide! I'll just give reasons for each one.

Blue: The original. He actually became champion BEFORE the player. He then became a Gym leader, while his rival just sits on a mountain.

Silver: He's pretty tough, even if he is a jerk. Plus, you have to feel bad for him because of his father leaving him, and causing his jerk attitude and all.

Wally: He was the first Rival I started with. I like his Pokemon. But, he doesn't get very strong, and he's is a bit of a wimp.

Barry: I love his design! Plus, he has a very fun attitude!

Cheren: Very smart, and cool looking. He's pretty strong, and he actually challenged the league.

Bianca: She's so cute!!! >w< I love her design, too. Plus, at times, she presented more of a challenge than Cheren.

N: Leader of an evil team, wants to make all his dreams come true (or something dumb like that) and he looks so cool!! I like his design the best. So hip and modern. Not like a Team Leader at all.

I based my vote on which rival aggravated me the most, and Silver was that rival. Not his Pokemon (except the stolen one), but his dialouge was the most aggravating and rival-like to me.

 

[sannison]

I like N the most. His design appeals to me the more, and I like that he was most important to the storyline overall instead of just being someone who battles against you from time to time. But in some ways I think he's more of an enemy, not a traditional rival like before. But then again, cheren and Bianca are a little friendlier than some of the other rivals as well, especially considering Bianca isn't even really out to be a real challenger.

 

[Fennel]

Huh, that's tough.

I've always liked Blue from the start.
I don't know much about Silver but from what I've heard he sounds interesting.
Brendan has the whole I-wish-you-were-a-dude thing.
May is...I can't really remember anything about May.
Wally's a sympathetic rival, and probably surprised you at Victory Road.
Barry drinks too much Red Bull.
Cheren's all "MOAR POWER"
Bianca is sympathetic like Wally but in a different way.

Overall it's probably Barry, but it's a verrry close race for me.

 

[SilverMew]

I like Blue...
He's got a cool theme and he pisses me off.
Fun, fun, fun...

 

[smalllady]

N, of course. :crush:

I like how he doubles as a rival and the leader of an evil organization. Plus he has the most character development I've ever seen in a Pokemon game.

 

[Alex800]

I love Blue, he's awesome and so cute :3

Wally's second, he's such a cute kid and I liked him much better than Brendan in Ruby. And he has a Ralts.

Third's Silver, I've really grown to like him after playing through Soul Silver.

Then there's N, because I feel sorry for him.

Then there's Cheren and Bianca, I just don't like them...

Last's Barry, never liked that Red Bull addict. THUD!

 

[voidcritter]

Hmm.

I like N because of his backstory, and he's tied with Silver for Crappiest Childhood.

I like Wally because he's adorable, and it was really heartwarming to see him at Victory Road for some strange reason.

I like Blue for being the original, for becoming Champion at the end, and for having that Gym in GSC. Also, I didn't really like the newer games' tradition of having a different Champion than your rival (Lance gets a free pass on this for being Lance and because Red became a hermit), but it's not that big a deal.

I like Silver because he's the perfect little jerk, and because I liked his character development near the end.

 

[Shiny Shinx]

I realy like Wally and N.
N is just like so cool and acts like your best friend.
Wally is...I don't know...I've just grown to like him, plus he is the rival I started with.

Red Bull gives you wings? Nah. Barry would have wings if he drank it. More like a Coke addict.
THUD

 

[Owain]

I like N because of his backstory, and he's tied with Silver for Crappiest Childhood.

^^ I think N's childhood is far worser, but Your Mileage may vary

 

[Caitlin]

For me, it's a toss-up of Gary/Silver. Gary is the original badass, while Silver just takes it to a whole new level (and has a nice battle theme as well).

The kid from Diamond/Pearl and Wally have to be my least favourites. I'm not sure what I have against Wally, but DP kid was just obnoxiously annoying.

 

[GrnMarvl14]

Since this is strictly game rivals, I'm going to move this to the games section.

 

[hurristat]

N, because he acts like an actual person, unlike most of the other rivals which have one facet to them.

 

[Tashii]

This is hard :C I love them all in their own way <3

Green: He's just so... perfect. His pokemon are awesome and his anime character is the best. And he was also my first rival <3 so he'll forever have a place in my heart.

Silver: He's badass. Giovanni's son? Yes please. The manga made who Silver is to me, I feel so sorry for him.

Spoiler

You know, after his father sacrifices himself for him

Plus his design is great.

Wally: Y U SO SICK? :C his story upsets me wholly and having his team and such reflect his illness made me upset throughout the whole game (probably why I hated RSE). I always wished the best for him <3.

Barry: Why do I love you so much? He's just so much like myself xD I can't stay still and conversations bore me. Plus I named him after my bestfriend as he's just like him too.

Cheren: Glasses. Finally.

Bianca: Her outfit is probably my favorite one to ever be in any pokemon thing ever (Excluding Giovanni's new coat).

N: His design made me fall in love with him before B&W even came out, and his story moved me to tears. I love how deep we got into his past and just how warped the guy is.

If I had to pick, it's probably N.
