Paul was the most compelling of all of them by a large margin, but I do think he gets treated a bit too nicely after his loss to Brandon, considering he abused Chimchar.
Conway is a king among peasants. Should've been louder, angrier and had access to a time machine.
Nando was cool. I wouldn't have minded seeing him pop up more in either the Contest or the Gym scene.
Kenny, despite beating Ash every time they fought, lost in such a public way that it's impossible to remember that he actually had an Alakazam and the potential to be cool. He also called Dawn a retard as a child and gave her PTSD, which generally isn't something I look kindly upon.
Zoey had unironic swag. It's a shame that the Japanese don't like actual lesbians, because she'd be my pick to win the Dawnbowl.
