3 sum!!!
Ive had alot of mixed feeling on these characters so im going to let you guys decide is/was the best rival Ash has ever faced are had are has and why?

Im going to go with Paul as he was the more serious trainer in pokemon history. Although his training methods were a little flawed due to the fact that he only belives in catching strong pokemon he was what the show needs for a more mature audiance that chooses to watch the show. He seem to be the most strongest trainer as well.

Paul was an actual challenge for Ash, plus he brought out something in Ash that was well needed.
 
Paul, by a landslide.
Paul>Gary>Everyone else.
 
Trip and Bianca shouldn't be in the poll. It's unfair to judge them against characters who had the opportunity to get a developed team and battle Ash in the league.

well that is your oppinon and you are free to have it. But according to serebii and the show trip and bianca are rivals regardless is they are established characters are not. Futhermore I think the characteristics of the characters show how much of a worthy opponent these "rivals" really are. It seems so far that paul is the best and gary coming in right behind just like I predicted and im going to agree with everyone else when I say Trip is a filler rival/character
 
Paul was the best, next comes Gary and then I'd choose Trip next. Yes, I know Trip has really just gotten started, but he has shown he's got potential.

So basically it's Paul>Gary>Trip>everyone else.
 
Paul is the ultimate,
Unfortunately the new rival Trip, he seem kind a fake to me
Think about it , Ash & other trainer has to go through a lot of problame when they were Rocky like overconfident , lake of confident , knowledge , observering power
But Trip subbenly travel a few month & he act like Ash is unexperience one
I mean The writer had the main character go through so many thing
Give him so many Embressing Defect
And now that Ash's turn to be a mentor he make Trip stronger without any problame
just cause he's the ''Main Rival''
I can't believe I have to watch upcoming 4 year Ash Being Insult By A Newbe
Writer probably think having Ash lose to Trip making it feel like the 1st time when this anime start & Ash start his journey
But we being watching Ash for 14 year,not matter how many time he start over he will alway be a 5 year experience trainer
Having him insulted like this gonna kill the anime,it wouldn't make the anime fun
just think In Bw 041 Ash might get his butt kick against Trip again & keep goes on
Finally Ash got a victory in league conference,oh it's so annoying
Because Writer give's Trip so many faver he does not seem Real to be a True Rival
Yeah,if he was a experience trainer like Paul then it would be Ok but he is not
Ash could take him with his old pokemon but the fact that Ash need's his old pokemon to beat a new trainer Is A Insult
 
Why the hell is trollbias on there?? He isn't even a rival lol.
 
Paul is bst than....... Barry if u want to talk about trainer wise but rival wise deffinantly gary
 
Paul was the best rival followed by Gary. The reason why Paul is better is that Gary went about as an obnoxious jerk although I still liked him. :D
 
Gary is better than Paul.

I like Gary a lot better than Paul.
I mean, look how much of a jerk Paul was to his Pokemon, especially Chimchar.
 
I think Paul's his best rival. Paul taught Ash important lessons, while Ash did the same to Paul. Their methods of battling improved due to their different styles of training Pokémon; they learned from each other. Plus, Paul could put up a very, very strong fight. It took Ash a while to finally beat him.
 
I voted for Paul. Paul was almost a complete contrast to Ash and challenged him to a 'moral war' of sorts. And that League battle, ohmigawsh. :o

Next, I'd totally put Gary. Some are put off by his major jerk qualities early on, but I love them. It's rivals like that that make you just want to punch them in the face. I find that great. :D
 
For me, Gary....Paul never really like to me, besides, gary it's, for me atleast, an all around trainer
 
I like Paul since he has a mean personality.
Just like any rival would.
I also like Gary but he isn't mean enough. Its more like a friendly rivalry almost when compared to Paul.
