Shinji is Ash's new rival. Who do you think is better Ash or Shinji. I prefer shinji because i hate ash and shinji has a great attitude.

He just started his journey and he has a Ursering. Right?

yeah he caught it with his chimchar.

Ash is the one who made the show's viewers shoot up. Imagine Shinji instead of Ash in the original episodes, I know I most certainly can't. Ash made pokemon famous.

Nooo... because if there was any other perdon instead of ash it would have been the same. The pokemon in the pokemon anime made pokemon famous...

I don't mean replace ash. I mean who's a better trainer.

I like Shinji because I like his pokèmon, but he has quite a horrible attitude. Like with his Starly's. But in a battle Shinji should be able to win because Chimchar would pwn Turtwig.

from what I know about him, he seems like the stereoytypical silent guy, knows all, nasty attitude, and has little depth to his character. But then again, what sort of a character is Ash? ;/

Acorrding to lolstop, Cartoon Network revealed the names of Shinji and Hikari. Shinji has been dubbed Paul and Hikari is now Dawn.

Anyway, I wish that they were more like each other, Ash and Paul, so that Ash would get more decent pokemon and evolve them, and that Paul wouldn't just release his pokemon left and right.

I don't like Shinji because they tried too hard to make him into Silver, when they should've just used Silver instead. If you look at the 'official art' for Shinji, he is stood in the same pose as Sugimori's concept art for Silver.
And that's just cheap. Especially when Silver has that gorgeous red hair and Shinji doesn't have anything like that going for him.

But I also find Ash very annoying.

My answer? Neither.

Mmmactually, Roark actually IS Byron's son.

If anyone knows about releasing their pokemon it's ash since he has released more pokemon than shinji which is named Paul here is USA.

Yeah, but at least ash released his pokemon for "REAL" reasons.
for example, Pigeot was released to help protect other pokemon.
and Butterfree was released for the migration thing.

Yes... I already knew that. But it does seem like a possibility. I mean... Look at Byron and then look at Paul. Look awfully similar don't they?

Paul's team is just a wanna be Ash team:
Pikachu:Electric:Eleckid
Starly:Bird:Murkrow
Aipom:Monkey:Chimchar

i chose Ash because i hate Paul's attitude, he gets mad at his Poke'mon and calls them good for nothing when they lose.

I agreee with blu-suicune, they should just use Silver instead of making a Silver wannabe

Silver's Pokemon
Crocanaw
Sneasel
Ursaring
Murkrow

Shinji's Pokemon
Chimchar
Elekid
Ursaring
Murkrow

These are all the Pokemon they have to my knowledge. I would know more about Silver's Pokemon, but I haven't been able to find English scans of Pokemon Adventures past volume ten

I prefer ash, shinji is bad trainer because i doesn´t train is Pokemon

Ash sucks, especially when it comes to knowing pokemon.....he checks the pokedex every time for pokemon.....plus I like senji's style...cathing pokemon and testing their strength... then releasing them if they are weak.....Theres nothing mean about that, thats how you become the poemon champ, not ashes style, he wasted a few seasons LOSING the pokemon league. jeez i got so mad at that....and may...shes a big loser too.

I prefer neither. Not Ash because he doesn't train his Pokemon enough and very few of them evolve, and not Shinji because he doesn't even TRY to train his Pokemon and gives up on them to early. He gave up on a ton of Starly because they didn't know Aeirial Ace, well, I had a Starly that only knew Tackle, and now It's a kick arse Staraptor that will OHKO Pokemon. So personally, I think both of them suck. But I do like that Chimchar

4 get ash and paul

I pik dawn

Ashs voice is screwed up

Paul is mean

Well I chose Ash just because he's the best in my eyes (even with his new annoying voice) even though I train my Pokemon just like Paul.

Gary still shats on all of them. GARY SHOULD HAVE STAYED AS ASH'S MAIN RIVAL.

On raw strength they're about the same level. But on training methods I favor Ash because he gets to a Pokémon's actual potential by taking good care of them, stimulating them to do their best, etc. But sometimes Paul is right for example Paul focuses on a Pokémon's weaknesses which actually makes a Pokémon harder to defeat by concealing most of a Pokémon's weak points it takes more time for his opponent to figure out a proper strategy and in case of a rematch Paul still starts with the upper hand if he wins the first time.
