Silver. No contest.

Silver does not only act cool, he is cool.
Silver steals his starter.
Silver doesn't ask you to battle him.
Silver is probably the son of Giovanni.
Silver lives in Johto.
Miror B.>Silver>Everything else on this planet>Pikachu.

Hmm, I first thought that Blue would be good but after all I think Silver is better, especially his "anime look" version. I'm meaning at the opening of Raikou special, not that I'd seen him actually in episode.

Wow it appears Silver is winning by a landslide.

Silver is my favorite as well. He has a tough and even semi-evil attitude. He pushes you (even if you choose the female trainer). He steals Elm's starter. Hes mean to you every time you see him. He has Harley characteristics except without being gay/metrosexual.

Gary is similar to Silver except he is a responsible trainer who follows the rules. He is a jerk to you but he isn't as mean. At least he managed to become Champion (one with multiple typed pokemon).

May/Brendan I wouldn't even consider to be rivals. They are trying to help you by giving you items along your way. They only battle you to test how good you've become.

Wally was a decent rival but not as good as Blue/Silver. In fact, for such a good region, Hoenn rivals disappointed me. However, Wally was your mentor that eventually tried to rise above you and surpass his master. Interesting concept, but still not a true rival.

Silver. Whereas Gary/Blue is just an arrogant tosser, Silver is almost evil, stealing from the lab, forcing you to battle, basically abusing his Pokemon, but he also develops as a character. He suddenly realises he's treating his Pokemon badly, and begins to understand friendship, and eventually you see this where his Golbat evolves. He's more developed than Blue, and he's more badass as well.

lots of luv!
Sliver. This was the only bad-guy rival so far. That's why he's the best. He's bad and good at it!
 
This is hard. Both Silver and Gary were awesome Rivals. Silver was downright evil, strong and learnt a lot through his journey and his squirmishes with yourself. Gary was rather annoying, but is the ONLY Rival that managed to outdo you all the time, and is the only one that actually represents a challenging Boss in the main quest. His Team puts Silver's to shame...

I really can't choose between those. But I'll go with Silver, just because I prefer his character that much more, and he actually developed. Wally wasn't half-bad either, but he lacked something. Brendan/May... nice change, but...

<- This guy Rocks!
I think that Silver is better and looks cooler...
Wally and May/Brendan were very weak, and I just don't like Blue...

Silver... ._.

I chose Silver, too. Gary was cool too, but it was Silver's make-you-wanna-kick-him attitude that one my vote. May/Brandon are hardly considered rivals. They were way too helpful! =P Not to mention you didn't even get to see their starter in their final stage o.0

Silver is the best. Gary is cool too, but he thinks that he's the most powerful trainer everywhere even after you beat him. Silver is the coolest without trying to be like that.
