much better rivalry in every way

Not really. Ash and Paul were more consistent.

I mean if you were watching just Kanto, you'd be pretty pissed that Ash and Gary never fought each other and it wasn't until the Orange Islands ENDED when they had their first battle.

Red and Blue are a better version of this rivalry. Paul was a better rival for Ash anyway.

Zero (0) defeats against Ash.

Alain is not iconic

>>32281891
He would have been iconic if Ash had a few wins against him, and if they gave Ash a Mega Charizard Y. Alain is wasted potential. He could've been the first true villain rival for Ash.

Post yfw Ash has a flashback of his "rival" in the normal SM anime completely retconning Gary.

>Gary will never be Ash's story now
