May got more votes than Ash? What the hell! May has a terrible team while Ash's team kicks ***. Also Gyms are far better than contests. Well think what you want but Ash is the strongest trainer in the show at this point.
Last time I checked, the intention of a character poll is for a person to vote for the
character, ie. their personallity, character traits, appearence and general behavoir.
Not their pokémon team or whatever path they've decided to take in life, which is a whole different poll altogether.
Haruka - specifically, her early and mid Houen personna. In my opinion, she was the strongest personallity in the group for quite some time, before eventually dying down and becoming sober. I could laugh at, feel happy for and sympathise with her, and that really made the show a lot more enjoyable.
Harley - Easily one of the better characters the show has churned out in recent years, deviating from the conventional rival stereotype and introducing certain elements to the show that are seldom looked into. He's wonderfully quirky and has some incredibly odd habits, which only helps him to be a more entertaining character. And the guy's full of bs logic...and isn't that what we all want in a rival?
Shuu - Yeah, I like Shuu. As of late, I've been rewatching a lot of older AG episodes, more speficially the contest ones. And I've really come to appreciate Shuu as a character. He's one of the few mysterious pretty-boy types that I've actually managed to warm up to, and I love how his character has developed over the few occassions that he turned up. Initially posing he self as a snob, and eventually growing to keep that arrogant attitude whilst having a notable nice side.
Team Rocket - They all freaking rule. I shouldn't have to elaborate.
Misty - Recently been going over a few Kanto episodes, and have been reminded of how awesome she really was back in the day. Despite her shortcomings in Johto and the further deterioration of her character (at least, imo) during the chronicles episodes, she really
was a great character.
