Who is the best rival and why is it Barry?

>>27148668

Barry has the best official art. Best bro in the series.

>>27148796
Porn when?

Why does no one like Silver?

His theme was gdlk

Barry is actually my second least favorite rival. I like him less than even the four in X/Y.

Only worse rival is Hugh.

He's the best and has good color taste (that orange tone... fuck me).
Aaah, and 6 pokemon team as well. If Hugh only had 6, he would be better.

>>27148668
I should fine you for having such a shitty opinion.

>>27148861
What the fuck is gdlk?
And plenty of people do like Silver.

>>27148933
Terrible taste.
And putting XY """rivals""" above should result in a death sentence.

>>27148860

Rule 35.

Because his team isn't complete garbage.

>Gary/Blue is a meme
>Silver was edgy but he became less edgy
>Wally was wally
>Barry was shit but he was a bro and his father was great.
>Cheren a shit
>Hugh

Those were Hilbert, N and Nate tho.
Not even joking.

lewd

>>27148861
Silver is one of the better rivals. He puts a lot of people off because he is abrasive and edgy to an extreme. I mean, he gets better at the end, but he's still a brooding emo kid.

>>27148668
Because he's the only rival to build a good team before post game.

Are we going to pretend Wallace wasn't a homo?

This makes my taco moist

Barry wasn't enough, we NEED a proper asshole rival. Of all the shit that they autistically stuck to as a pattern they want to keep forever (a tree-named prof, choose from 3 starters of Fire Water and Grass, Every region has 8 gyms, Every region has Elite Four, Every region pretends the entire thing is a Pokedex quest even when it's literally hopeless at this point, etc), having an asshole rival that you love to hate and need to beat the shit out of was probably the most important thing and they just left it behind for no real purpose.

>all your rivals in the newer games are your friends or at least not mean to you
>want a rival to bully me
>taunt me
>tell me that I suck
>be tsun with me
>tfw there will never be anymore rivals like Green or Silver

Wally was cute and a nice change of pace at the time R/S were released, and everyone in B/W was great but we're on a losing streak with good rival characters as of Gen VI.

Both of the new rivals for S/M are fucking terrible and I already hate them

>>27148704
Nobody wants your degenerate faggotry in our Pokemon. Stop.

>>27154214
The best thing about Wally is that someday, hypothetically, they could have us visit a distant-future Hoenn at some point (or have people from that Hoenn come over to the current region) and everyone's talking about how tough Champion Wallace is and you're expecting Wallace the Water trainer, but that's Wally's full name too so it turns into a wonderful fakeout.

>>27148861
Silver was great.
He's just this retardedly edgy punk, it's hilarious.

>>27148853
Barry was a total bro. Kind of annoying, but he was your friend in-game while still having a rivalry going on.
Blue wasn't really friends in-game with you, Silver fucking hated everyone, and Wally didn't feel like a rival at all (the PC you didn't pick seemed much more like one).
and then after Gen 4, all of the "rivals" were just your idiot friends

Shittiest opinion in the entire universe.
