May is ok. I dislike Dawn and her coomers. Everyone hates Max but cooms over Bonnie and I can't stand the hypocrisy. Everyone rightfully hates Iris and Cilan. Clemont and Serena are fucking right now and Ash is currently too gay and flanderized to care. You either love or hate the Alola cast. You have to be a fujo or a fag to like Gou.
Gary was the only good Ash rival, and he took the high road by giving up and choosing a solid career. He grew up, and Ash didn't.
