Can I just say, I love how much effort the VAs put in these characters. How smug Georgia is, how over the top Barry is, how adorably optimistic Bianca is. It puts a big stupid grin on my face every time they're on screen.
Us sub-watchers expect full-on acting performances from the VAs each episode, and they take their jobs as seriously as possible. Admit it, the dub sometimes put on awful voice-acting performances, as if they didn't take their jobs as seriously because Pokemon dub really feels like a kids' show (and it is, but that's besides the point) compared to the sub version which tried to make it something more. That being said, I agree, good VA performances here, just wish it was consistent.
All of Ash's rivals have unique personality like Gary's cocky teasing matter,Paul's tough additude,Trip's um...unexpective curiousity and tsundere like additude,Gladion's agresive matter (i mean he did have a sister who he is very overprotected of) and Sawyer's kohai-like persona We can't forget Alain and his tsundere type persona,tsundere on the outside but kind and honest on the inside to Ash and Profesor Sycamour
What about Jun/Barry ‘IM GONNA FINE YOU FOR BUMPING INTO ME!!’ Also i always thought Shootie/Trip was a sort of Shinji/Paul rip-off. Oh wait and we also got Harley. Man that guy is crazy, he makes a fool out of Haruka/May (and himself) only because May said that his cookies ‘ain’t that bad’.
Idk it's just because i'm not a fan of anime tropes, but I wouldn't call Alain a tsundere. He's just serious and also overprotective of (i forgot the name of the girl he's friends with)
@@gladions_wife I posted it on my community tab if you wanna see it right now, I don’t know when he’s getting added it just leaked, he’s paired with Magearna and has a very dapper suit!
All of that beef just to literally never get the runback on screen, like iris became champion of the region offscreen meaning she beat alder and yet she never settled things with Georgia
fr but like i never saw gladion as an edgelord. if he was a true edgelord, he wouldnt have saved silvally from faba or cared for lillie as much as he does. but thats just my opinion 🤷♀️
Gladion talking to Ash feels like a crossover due to the immensely different vibes, especially across the generations (Both in terms of the Pokemon Generations AND the irl eras)
Gary meeting Goh: "Oh this is great, I've missed picking on Ashey Boy, I can't pick on him any more because he defeated me in battle, and actually won the Alola league, what to do, what to do....OH HELLO NEW KID. By picking on Ash I got him to train harder, and become a stronger trainer than me, lets see if I can make you better at this faster by picking on you like I did Ash"
I love how all of the rivals in this video are certifiably crazy. Especially Gladion. Also, Barry's first line being a loud yell befofe rushing over like a monkey is so on points for him it's amazing.
Gladion being so confused about Ash's existence in general will never not be funny to me 😭 His development AND friendship with Ash It's great, he went from being cold towards him to see him as an equal 🥹
Paul is the only one I take seriously as, like, a cool villain who needs to get his ass kicked so he gets proven wrong thematically. Gladion is fun for being a serious edgy boi who only shows up when the rest of the anime is taking a left turn into goofytown (the litten episode notwithstanding), it just turns him into the straight man while everyone else is loosing their minds. The rest of them are kinda chucklefucks. Even Gary was more fun for his over-the-top personality than for, like, being an interesting rival.
2:45 to this day Gladion is one of my favorite characters because in the games if you show up to his sad two room apartment and talk to him, he responds with a simple "leave". He had the courage to say what the pokemon npcs had been struggling to say for years
There's no proof Harley actually swung that way. And if you're labeling people's/characters' sexuality based on personality and not who they're attracted to, buzz off and get help.

I bet Gerogia is fuming right now after she sees Iris becoming champion in the Unova region. And the official top ten strongest trainer in the Pokémon world. 😂
1:04 is my favorite moment. Got to love Paul just wanting a battle with Ash, and having absolutely no tolerance for any interruptions. Not giving Team Rocket ANY moments, which Ash should do more off, attack them when their gaurd is down (they are Pokemon thieves, they don't deserve any mercy). Especially since the battle looks like their second battle. Considering how the first battle was a tie, Paul wants to prove he is better than Ash as fast as he can
Also 4:10 when Barry tries to force Paul not to switch Pokémon with entry hazards, saying how he can't otherwise they will receive damage, and Paul immediatly switching out anyways. Paul gives absolutely zero s***s and I love his character for it, best rival hands down
It honestly made me wish Paul actually made an appearance towards the end of Black and White, to get Ash back on his toes, which would’ve set up/reignited Ash’s work ethic and attentive focus perfectly for XY
I really like how the rivals’ personalities are pretty unique and interesting dynamics after all these years. Only Trip kinda felt like a discount Paul
All the rivals in the anime have had a rivalry against the protagonists for some reason: Gary vs Ash: because he felt humiliated when he tied against Ash trying to catch a pokeball. (after losing to Ash he started to get along with him) Harley vs May: because May reminded him of a girl who made him cry in daycare. Paul vs Ash: because Ash reminded him of his brother, whom he considers a bad role model. (after losing to Ash he started to get along with him) Conway vs Ash: because he was secretly in love with Dawn but she got along better with Ash than with him. Ursula vs Dawn: because she got jealous when Dawn won a pokemon contest. Trip vs Ash: because He believes that people from other regions get too much attention for having Pokémon that there are not in Unova and Ash has a Pikachu.(after losing to Ash he started to get along with him) Burgundy vs Cilian: because After losing against Cilian, Cilian made a comment that offended her and she set out to get revenge by being better than him. Georgia vs Iris: because After she and her Pokémon lost a battle, she did not want to lose against dragon-type Pokémon again and had heard that Iris aspired to be a dragon master. Miette vs Serena: because she had a crush on Ash just like Serena and had a secret rivalry against her over Ash. Guzman vs professor Kukui and Ash. because He envied Kukui for being better than him and Ash reminded him of Kukui. (after losing to Ash he started to get along with him) Those are all the rivals that there have been in the anime, the rest of the coaches except the bad teams have been friends of the protagonists.
2:52 - "Nah, it's not dangerous at all!" The kid was turned to stone by Mewtwo and Mew's attack and brought back to life by PokeTears. This is just another day at work for him.

Compared to Paul anyway.
After the Indigo league they became a bit more chummy
Ash earned his respect after the Pokemon League
They were toxic boyfriends your honor!
