Paul-
Begining- Total Tard Only Likes Strong pokemon could care less about the weak Basicly through the whole series he acted like that But around The End He Lighten up a Bit I mean his pokemon were happy at reggies place so that shows he has a bit how a good charachers a devloping and he smiles at ash at the end and i don';t know what he says to ash but if you could tell me? But i still feel like they could of left one more episode about his past or devolpment

Paul Results-
Rude,Pikcy,Mean To Alright, Not So mean Trainer


Gary-
Begining- Omg I hated him at the begining he was cocking rich brat he screwd the rules by traveling in a Limmo rather than on foot but he cared about his pokemon aleast as shown evee can't evo into umbreon without Love so aleast he wasn;t a Tard to his pokemon But Through out the series he started maturaing And respecting others a bit once he lost to ash at jhoto he found a new goal and lost all his Jerkness and become a nice cool pro

Gary Results -Cocking.Young, RICH,Brat to CoolHeaded , Nice, Pokemon Pro


Shooti
Can't really jugde now but so far he's been a quiet kid but is anyyioned My Trainer like ash who all they talk about is affection and care for pokemon and talks down trainers that are fairly weak how do you think he will turn out?
 
Even though Shooti didn't really impress everyone in the beginning, this last battle he was in showed that he was capable of holding his title of a rival.
 
Well all the rivals have some uniqueness in themselves. I still think it was for Ash to lose to Shooti, but I like him better after seeing his strategies. I'd say he'd give Paul a run for his money, provided Paul doesn't use his strongest poke'mon at once.
 
Paul pushed Ash to be a his best
Gary was more of a mentor than a rival
Shooti well I really have no clue
Paul was the only one who was a rival to Ash
 
While we're mentioning rivals, I guess Barry is considered one too right? I know Ash beat him a lot of times but he was a good training opponent.
 
Ash has more rivals than just Gary, Paul and Shooti. There's Barry, Morrison and Ritchie as well(not to forget Harrison and Tyson).

To me Ritchie never counted as a rival to Ash, don't count clones as rivalsXD
I think Shooti will develope over time, may not be what other people want, but will see, maybe he has some sort of intresting history later on?
 
Shooti is hard to figure out, hes good at raising his pokemon, but is really cocky aswell, exact image of paul in battling wise (keeps beating ash, until ash will probably beat him at the league), im hoping that the writers will weaken him down a lot so that ash actually looks like a decent trainer when they battle.

Why are all of Ash's rivals "Tards"?

Because trolls still think that word is cool.

While his first two showings were interesting for a first impression (I'm just on the "don't hate him, don't like him" fence) I think we need to wait until about a third of the series is through to accurately judge Shooti. I think the only thing I really can judge him on is that he knows how to train Pokemon, really wishes Ash would leave him the hell alone...and likes taking pictures. I dunno.

Remember there was a ton of fan hate for Paul until the reveal and everything.
 
Paul:
Ruthless Jerk>Alright

Gary:
Cocky Showoff>Nice

Barry:
Amazing>Even More Amazing

Now let's see how Shooti turns out.
 
Shooti is a lot better rival then Paul who lack a personality,Paul was never really consider to be the best rival in the show and that was really Gary,but Paul was ok that was about it,Shooti will never be anything like Paul,he will be a lot more like Gary then Paul,Shooti debut episode was the best compare to Paul's DP series debut which was bland and boring as hell,a lot of people like Shooti a lot more then Paul anyways.

Paul was only 'mean' to Ash and Chimchar. I remember him being even more polite than Ash with others.

Gary was the first rival and was poorly handled. Paul was great considering the writers learned from their mistakes. Shooti is turning out to be very interesting, but a little bit like Paul. For eg. he takes advantages of abilities like Pururiru's Cursed Body. Paul usually does that. I'm sure he has more strategies, but they better be unique!
 
The writers never really learn from their mistakes since this is opinions not facts,Paul wasn't the greatest rival of all time,but he was only good and that was about it,Shooti is nothing like Paul at all despite looking a little bit like each other and Shooti is turning out to be the best rival ever.

Er...I think I would need Ash to beat Shooti before the League for me to consider him best rival ever. You know, let him learn some humility and become a better person because of it or something.
 
Yah, I want to see Shooti get knocked down a couple of times, see the characters on the same level. Or have Ash win against Shooti later on, see I think Ash just needs to get used to the Pokemon in that region.
 
I think the real development starts when the rival faces humility in battle. For Gary it was losing in the Indigo League, and for Paul it was either losing to Brandon, or to Ash(I think more towards Ash). Lets see when Shooti loses.
 
I say Shooti is a much better rival then Paul never really was at all,but Shooti have a lot more interesting personality and pokemon aswell.
