Is he the worst rival of the series? He is neither friendly nor douchy, just, um, very energetic i guess?

I was going to say that he was still more interesting than Wally, but then I realized that at least Wally has character growth.

Barry is incredibly friendly, he's just really energetic and doesn't know how to slow down because he wants to be like his dad.

He's a fine simply rival and I love how they made it so he challenges you at the most sudden times.

He was the perfect balance between the two.Not a tryhard like Gary or Silver, but also not a pushover like the kids from XY.

only pokemon fans would hate a character because they can't pigeonhole them into a basic trait.

he's a good rival, in terms of being challenging and making you not feel bad for beating them.

He's boring, but not bad.
He's friendly, but he doesn't heal you before every fights or act like a bitch. He doesn't get depressed when he loses or encourages you, he just thinks about getting even better. He picks the starter strong against yours. He acquires badges before you do. In the post-game, he could get his Pokémon to some seriously high levels (Around 70 in DP and around 80 in Platinum)

Barry is best rival you pleb. A friend who in no way babies you and with you as your rival, grows to be the srtongest Rival in the series and 2nd strongest overall trainer in the whole damn series.
And then we got plebs like you sleeping on him, because he doesn't fit the edgy arsehole archetype.

They should've had a scene where you try to buy a villa or something in the post-game, but then Barry cucks you out of it by deciding to collect the debt right when you do

Bianca is probably my least favorite. She has an interesting conflict with her dad, but it's never explored and she feels underwhelming compared to Cheren. I'm also not the biggest Hop or Silver fan. Or half of the XY ones but they don't count
I think Barry is probably the best attempt at a friendly rival since he still has plenty of agency on his own and doesn't feel like a neutered easy rival. The decision of Gamefreak to force in a Strong and Weak rival just makes weak "friendly" one laughable.

Bianca is based, she goes on her own journey and realizes there's more to life than battling or being strong.

Barry is an annoying autist and while I too am an autist he's the loud obnoxious type.

I think if Bianca was the only rival in BW and had more screentime dedicated to her journey she would be better.
As it stands she is just lost in the never ending sea of interruptions and doesn't leave the impact Cheren does.
I'll admit though while she is my personal least favorite it's more of a disappointment than an actual disdain.

Either him or Trace, yeah. Even the fucking XY rival was more interesting than Barry because at least with the XY rival watching them get more and more frustrated with losing was funny. Barry has no fucking character aside from his retarded THUD gimmick.
