I personally think it will be Paul, since we have had Anime Rivals 2 times already, and in R/S/E, there was no rival in the anime. G/S anime had Gary, and the game rival was different(Silver). D/P had Barry and Paul, Barry being the game rival. R/B/Y obviously had Gary for both. Anyways, this will be the 2nd time a rival has been reused, Gary being the first. Paul has cleared the other leagues(he said so in Top Down Training), so the only region we know of that is next is Isshu. Also, I think Paul might be in the games as well, for more of a Silver-esque rival. Anyways, I think it's Paul, so comment on what you think the Rival will be and if you think we will reuse anyone.
