I’d say Paul because he was unlike any other we saw up until then in both the games and the anime. The closest thing we saw was AJ but he was just a one time deal which is odd considering you’d think he’d be at the Indigo League and Silver in the games but they weren’t as intense as Paul could get.

Alain > Gladion

Alain was just edgy. Gladion was like an emo kid trying to be edgy because of mommy issues.

Paul is the edgiest, followed by Alain, and Gladion at a distant third.

Edginess isn't an inherently a good or bad quality, but it worked the best on Paul.

Arguably Shinji, followed by Glazio. I always thought that Glazio's edginess was at least justified given how his family had basically been torn apart, whereas Shinji's edginess didn't really have a justification from my perspective.

Gladion & Paul with Alain in second place. Don’t get why anyone else is an option in the poll. Like who thinks Zoey of all characters is edgy lol

I guess she did have a few moments in DP where she was harsh ig, but overall as a character edginess doesn't reflect on her at all

I figured as the episodes where she yelled at Paul while they were all in Snowpoint and telling Nando he has to choose between Contests or Gyms comes to mind but that’s more so her being blunt about she feels rather than being edgy. I feel like people have made edgy apply to any sort of hostile or aggressive personality which makes the word lose its original meaning.

Paul takes the edgelord cake for personality. Gladion takes the edgelord cake for looks. Alain would be edgy if he wasn't attempted to cosplay Zard X.

Yeah, I was just putting the major rivals.
