best pokemon rival

choose your favourite rival and this is my first poll so if its messed up, sorry vizzed!

I'm gonna go with the rival from second generation. He's simply a more developed character. The rest of your rivals are all either purely douches or purely goody-two-shoes. The rival from second gen actually had some depth to him. He starts out pure evil, and as he continues to lose to you, he learns what he's lacking. In short, he's the only rival with any substance. You hate him at first, then you start to see him change, then at then end you sympathize with him, even start to respect him. He gets my vote.

I chose Barry from Sinnoh he has some pretty strong Pokemon.

This one is really easy.

Blue from the first generation.

The only one who is close I feel would be the rival from the second.

Blue is the traditional rival, who really sets the tone for rivals in the future. It became dilluted over time, but he was a constant reminder that there are people who will be snobbish. Even in defeat.

GARY WAS HERE ASH IS A LOSER.

Gary motherfrukun Oak wins this prize easily.

Silver is a much more deep character and meaner than Blue. And Silver is a part of the best Pokemon game out there. So my answer is Silver.

I would have to go with the one from second gen as my top pick for the same reasons listed above.

I'm gonna say that the second generation rival is my pick for the time being.

I chose Barry because he was supposed to be a child hood friend (which coincidentally he reminds me of one of mine) who has enough character to not be a random boss fight but not too much so that he's a complete twit and wailing on him every Saturday for the sake of a rematch is the best method of easy experience in D/P/P

Red from second generation definitely he just reads rival and I like the second to last and the final battle because you get to see a change in him and then you see his growth in maturity in Kanto, It just makes me warm in fuzzy after putting up with his attitude until then.

Brendan/May more towards May though just because she was like the nicest of all the rivals and I loved May in the anime she was such a troll!

Lol my favorite was blue from the classic game of pokemon blue, of course I did like barry he was pretty cool.

Gary. Or Blue. Whatever you want to call him.

The fact remains he's the original rival. And the original will always be the best as far as pokemon goes.

Yeah, leggy said it. Blue all the way. He had a cocky attitude that won my heart on the first playthough. I used the smell ya later line all the time after playing the original Pokémon games.

Brenden and May have my vote because they were the nicest rivals and I do not take to kindly to jerks like blue X3

The rival from second generation..

The reason had already posted for others guys

I choose Blue because he's original, very mean and traditional.

I chose Silver because a better selection of pokemon and i like the way he goes from an evil brat to a good pokemon trainer.
