Is he the worst anime rival?
Literally who??

Silly anon, you forgot to put up a picture of Richie.
He was a return to having an obnoxious dick rival, and probably will be the last of his kind.

They kinda dropped that though. They were building him up to be Paul 2.0 but stopped for some reason.
>>25758667
Stephan works too
>>25758657
This is Trip, Ash's main rival from the BW saga. He acts like a toned-down Paul, likes to call Kanto "the boonies", and frequently takes pictures with a camera he carries with him. He's known for the time that Pikachu lost to his newly-obtained Snivy in the first BW episode.

Probably because Black and White was all about unity and shit. If they had some guy just be a dick forever like Paul even after losing to Ash in the end, it'd be conflicting.

Or Cameron, Trip is actually the beat of Ash's BW rivals
>>25758752
Stephan was bro tier.

>Kanto "the boonies"
Why the hell didn't the writers have a full battle with Ash using only Kanto pokemon against him in the League?
>>25758646
Nope, Gary is.
>>25758881
Because they gave up on Best Wishes. That's why Ash was easily at his worst there.

Personality is actually fine, that pronunciation joke infuriates me
