I didn't include Wally, Shauna, Tierno, or Trevor in the poll only because I consider Brendan/May as your primary rival in the Hoenn games and Calem/Serena your primary rival in XY (and I didn't want the poll to be too long) but they still count so if one of them is your favorite then say so
Honestly I gotta say that Barry is my favorite rival out of all of the games. To me he's a good mix of being a good friend while also super determined to be stronger than you. He doesn't feel too friendly or too cocky to me. I love the moments where he battles alongside you, but I love battling him more since I think his team is a great balance and can be challenging if you're not prepared (that effin Heracross got me a few times due to bad type coverage at the time.)
Silver is probably my favorite in terms of character development. He goes from being a cruel trainer who only cares about using pokemon for power to learning to care for and love his pokemon, especially in HGSS after he apologized to Prof. Elm for stealing his starter.
And in terms of wanting to totally destroy them for being such a cocky ass, Blue wins that one without a doubt. I hated his cocky attitude, but that's what made me want to beat him more than the others.
