Why do people think Paul is the most well written character in this series again?

He's literally Damian, but can backup it with his skill.

noone thinks he is best written period, just that he was the best region-long rival, because he pushed Ash the most and the hardest and not just in battles, which an actual MC rivals only real job

also the cruelty brought a nice edge to a kids show
"literally just a wall for Ash to overcome "
nope, thats Alain

Paul is incredible because he shows what a Pokemon trainer would be like if they actually acted like a player playing the game. Its no coincidence that he also uses real in game strategies.

So all competitive players are sociopaths?

>>40464294
Ash never beated Paul until the Pokemon League. So technically, he is a wall for Ash to overcome.

because he's what a rival should be, you want to beat him and he makes you seethe if you lose to him. should've been the rival for platinum, he was too fucking good and the anime didn't deserve him.

pokemon players are monsters who treat creatures like tools and put them in boxes for long periods/forever

especially competitive ones with breeding and daycares and EV/IV faggotry

so yes

He's the most in-depth the anime has ever explored a rival. He's also just a super interesting concept in general.

>Applying real life logic into video games

Yall must think video game violence correlates to irl violence

>>40464294
What other areas did he pushed Ash in? At the end of the day, Ash still holds onto his own beliefs. Ash isn't the same scrub in S1 that believed friendship/bonds is the only thing that matters.

To be fair there really aren't many well written characters at all.

Paul is the pretty much the best rival by default because almost everyone else is completely forgettable.

I think what people like, myself included.
Was how he was Ash’s antithesis in every way and was the first time the show questioned Ash’s way of doing things.

Maybe in terms of strategy, but that's as far as it goes imo.

Because they're the type of people to have a Paul in their own personal lives
