    I think Paul and electivire of course are some of the greatest rivals ash has ever had in the entire series. It also made me absolutely love infernape as a Pokémon (best fire fighting type starter in my opinion). It’s a shame that sinnoh ash was so good they had to invent a character who definitely used an action replay to make him lose the league

      I agree about Paul & Electivire being two of the best! It's hard for me to be too mad about Tobias when you compare it to the Unova fiasco with Cameron haha. Even though Ash lost, I think it's awesome that Ash was the only trainer in all of Sinnoh capable of beating Darkrai (assuming Tobias didn't battle Cynthia or the Elite Four).

    Paul is absol-utely the best rival. He felt like a rival who's character and motives exist outside of Ash. When you learn about how he's dissapionted in his Brother and mearly transfers that aggression to Ash, was a pretty adult moment for Pokemon. Great Video too. Also Major respect for ntoing the Electivire stopped the ref in the final match, the dub anime messed up this super imortant moment.

    To this day, I always think about how if Electivire didn't prevent the ref from declaring Infernape unable to battle; Paul would've won the match. Look, I know Infernape got up like a second after Electivire called out to stop the judgement, but in a league match not sure a call could be revoked.

    Paul is hands down his best rival. They had so much screen time together in comparison to other rivals and it made sense. Like it wasn’t a forced rivalry. Two trainers with greatly different opinions on how to battle and raise Pokémon. Every time they battle it was one to watch. Gary and Ash rivalry never really had them battle more than twice to my memory, maybe even once. Ash losing to Trip always made no sense since ash was way more experienced. Sawyer was probably the second best since they constantly battled and treeco and frogadier had a little rivalry going on.

    • @ProfessorAlexSilver

      Paul was best rival with Gary being second. Later rivals can't even match up to them. Trip was just Paul wannabe and Ash lost to him because for some reason, his skills went back to amateur. I liked Alain as he had his own story before meeting Ash. He was therefore a crossover rival. I liked Gladion too because despite his serious demeanor he had good friendship/ rivalry with Ash. And let us not forget Leon, the main rival in Journeys whom Ash had to overcome to become the very best like no one ever was.

    Paul is the best trainer why ash never learn from him I mean paul always check his pokemon stat after catching them & give them hard training so they can become stronger & keep rotating his team so everyone can become stronger too bad paul was given bad team during his fight with ash in the league so they can show that miracle of friendship is way more better than hardwork,thats make no sense
    Seriously ash often release his strong pokemon like naganadel,goodra, & greninja and keep his weak one like totodile,rowlet,oshawott,snivy,and scraggy(his unova team is really awful & got too many pokemon with the same type)he should release them or force them to evolve or maybe give them to another trainer to train them just like what he did to squirtle & primape,that could make him look less pathetic,also he give beedril to casey always piss me off,how come he give such a good final evolution to a girl just because she like yellow & black colored pokemon seriously ash thats why he need more than 20 year to win a league(try to be more serious as a trainer ash) & alola league just a little league in my opinion because that league only have full battle during the final exhibition match so i guess that league doesn't count & orange league too because theres no orange league in the game,in the end paul should learn from the best trainer in the whole anime,Paul & the second best,Gary because he already catch more pokemon than ash in their first halve of journey

      You're comparing Paul entire team to just Sinnoh one, Paul travel as many regions as Ash if Ash use all of his strongest Pokemon Paul would've zero chance even with if he use different Pokemons, Ash can't force his pokemons to evolve, they don't evolve with some kind of stones except Pikachu who don't need it. If you're going to say about Paul is better as trainer than don't forget that Paul is a failure who can't bring Chimchar special blaze but Ash not only made Chimchar activate his special blaze more than once but master it too.

      @@thejamesdiamonds Ash had shown training his pokemons soooooo many times on screen while letting them battle each others, if he wins battle with miracle than Ash would've been world champion at the end of OS, he always work hard and trained his pokemons to get stronger that's why in every series Ash got more stronger than past series (except BW because of reboot), some of Ash Pokemons don't evolve because they don't want to but still are powerful like look at Bulbasaur and Rowlet who beat/tie against fully evolved grass starter,
      You called Ash a pathetic trainer in what basis? If Ash had power of miracle than he wouldn't lose a league, only reason Paul win most of battles against Ash because Paul use his old Pokemons while Ash was severally handicap with completely new team or reset Pikachu, look at Paul Vs Brandon where Paul Pokemons was faaaaar weaker than TORKOAL, if Ash use his old Pokemons throughout DP series like Paul most of time than Paul would've zero wins against Ash.
      WTH Paul did to make him more competitive trainer than Ash? Ash had trained his pokemons everyday as well, so many times he uses moves like competitive players in real life like using Pikachu and Swellow abilities to gain advantage, using sleep talk to counter sing and dark void and many more.
      Paul proven a failure as he can't bring out chimchar special powers while Ash also trained his pokemons everyday, team them new moves and techniques, you seen Paul doing training only few occasions but Ash shown doing so many times, in what basis you saying Ash don't work hard?
