Which of the major rivals from the anime do you like the most, and why? It can be Ash’s or one of his companions’!
Tricky… I’m not as familiar as perhaps I should be with the anime after maybe the first half of Hoenn, bear in mind, and that doesn’t help a lot. Having said that, I’m rather fond of the anime’s portrayal of Bianca. Most of Ash’s rivals have a way of making you want to punch their stupid smug faces in, but Bianca just makes you want to root for her… from a safe distance. She’s basically girl Ash – headstrong, determined to succeed despite the odds, a little clueless – but with some of the same backstory stuff that makes her interesting in the games. And her dad is awesome.
