Rick from the Mineral Town games.
(Like Dia, he was also in another game that takes place in an alternate continuity - 64 rather than Magical Melody in his case.) I think I liked him more out of spite than anything at first: he's the least popular of the bachelors because 1.) he's a dork, 2.) in the games where you play as a guy he's your rival for Karen, and Everyone Loves Karen, and 3.) he dislikes Kai, who's easily one of the most beloved bachelors. So I decided "If no one else is gonna love you, then
I'm gonna love you, dammit!"
When the True Love mod for the Gameboy Mineral Town games came out, I ended up romancing him while playing as the male character (which I've since repeated twice), which gave me a deep-seated love both for Rick and for Rick/Pete. And now that the Mineral Town games are getting a remake that allows you to marry members of the same sex, you bet your ass I'm making Rick/Pete canon on my file!

(I'm still not sure how to feel about his redesign... I love his new outfit, but I'm kinda sad they made his hair shorter and gave him smaller glasses. He looks a lot better in-game though, I think.)
