Dunno if this has been made before, but.. who do you think is the worst rival?

For me it is Bianca.
 
Wally, you only face him twice (Where you get your third badge and on Victory Road).
 
Brendan/May (whoever was the one you didn't pick)

I don't like QUITTERS.
 
I'd definitely have to go with Brendan/May. I never liked that you don't get a chance to battle them shortly before or after the League. It just seems like a waste to have the battle you as rivals if it's only going to last until around halfway through the storyline of the game. I actually kind of liked Wally. He should have appeared more so that his inclusion as a rival was so sudden and out of nowhere, but he was much better as a rival than Brendan/May.
 
Blue. I swear, his arrogance makes me want to punch him in the face. I don't understand why everyone likes him.
 
It's a tie between Blue and Silver. OH SHIT YOU DEFEATED ME, OH WELL YOU'RE STILL WEAK KTHNXBAI/SMELL YA LATER :D :D :D
 
May. I'm not one of those people who think that a good rival has to be mean, but her dialogue was generic nicey-nice to the point where it was completely forgettable.

At least Brendan has that thing going on where he's disappointed that the Gym Leader's kid turns out to be a girl.
 
I'm gonna have to go with Barry, because he can't appear on screen without being obnoxious.
 
Silver has a funny trying hard personality. He looks so androgynous, I thought he was a girl.

Second place is ditzy Bianca.
 
Wally.

Nice idea for his story, you helping him get his first Pokemon, him striving to be as good as/better than you.

But it is stupid how LITTLE you fight him.
 
I went with May/Brendan. At least Wally's team was you know... fully developed? Evolved? You know, didn't look like he was just quitting. The last battle you get to have with May/Brendan is pretty underwhelming, being set in the epic fight arena of the patch of ground in front of the Lilycove Mall. Initially, I was annoyed to see them blocking my path, but I got even more annoyed when they just quit on me. I was also surprised to see that Wally could be fought again after the Victory Road battle, but not my ACTUAL rival. =/
 
Brendan/May because they never FULLY evolved their starter! Making it all the more difficult to complete the Pokedex
 
Brendan/May - they gave up midway, and they didn't even evolve their starters to the final stage.

Wally was okay - he kept waiting for me in the victory road, and everytime I talked to him, he challenged me to a battle, and everytime, his team was leveled up.

He stopped asking me to battles after five or six times, though.
 
Brendan and May are the worst in my opinion. You spent a good chunk of the game fighting them and then they decide they don't wanna battle anymore? What kind of loser decision is that?! Wally's only flaw is that you don't battle him more often (Which I hope will be fixed in the remakes) however he wins an award for effort. Between the first time and the last time you battle him he Took a Level in Badass - Television Tropes & Idioms . I don't really care for Bianca's personality, but at least you're able to rebattle her to gain some experience.
