Either way, the fact you say DPP is the MOST different when it's really the least is kinda indicative of just how wrong your opinion is.
DPP is the most different because you actually cooperate with your rival in a few cases. Like you do 2v2 battles and he backs you up. DPP is more like a Ryu/Ken rivalry whereas GSC and RBY is more like a Sub-Zero/Scorpion rivalry.
But like, I mean, really. Even Nintendo itself acknowledges that Pokemon games have the same formula every time. Nothing wrong with that. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. But like... calling the Pokemon Trainer rivalries different is like calling Bowser's appearance in Super Mario RPG different from his appearance in SMB3 to me. And, hell, Bowser in SMB3 vs Bowser in SMRPG probably has more differences characterwise than Blue and Gold, and how he actually relates to the protagonist is definitely more different.
