How much you wanna bet every rival gets posted in this thread?

>>33137282
(in all seriousness now Gladion is great as a rival. I simply prefer Silver as #1, then Gladion)

Haha no. He's worse than Silver in pretty much every aspect - character design, music themes and characterization and development. Gladion doesn't even come close.

>>33137127
Yeah but its not exactly high bar

>>33137127
He's not even the best rival in his own game

>>33137127
Silver > N > Gladion > the rest > Barry > Tierno

I agree that Silver is best rival but I think Gladion's theme is better.

Wished I could fix that.
>>33137722
Who knows. All of Gen VI's rivals can be dumped together into shit tier.

>>33137694
>Green
He literally had no personalityother than faggot and never changed. Just because he's the original doesn't matter he's boring compared to Silver, Gladion, and hell even Barry

>>33137799
>He's always one step ahead of you
>He always appears at the wrong time
>He never heals your pokemon
>He is the champion
It's not all about personality, it's about being a dick AND being good at the same time, in-universe speaking.
Silver and Gladion also gives the vibes they're good, I'll give you that. I'd add Wally who remains decent despite 'my weakness'.
Cheren is an insecure bitch while Barry seems like he rushes everything. They'd be stronger if they weren't like that.
The rest are softies. And Hugh.

>barry 2nd worst
shit taste

>Barry seems like he rushes everything. They'd be stronger if they weren't like that.
Barry is still the rival with the highest level team

>>33137127
Green, Barry, and Silver were the only good rivals.
