Was there a recent discussion about it? I didn't know. Sorry.
Not so much the fact of it being recent, but if it being the
same damn discussion every time.
First someone whines about the anime, then someone dickrides Adventures, then someone else dickrides the games, then everyone else brings up whatever other different parts of the franchise there are to make it seems like they all do things better than the anime when they
all do the exact same stuff they whine that the anime does, and in some cases, do it worse! "But it's not the anime, so it's cool and totally okay!" Yeah, no. **** you. They're all equally guilty of doing strange things and the games are nowhere near being masterpieces in the first place. And no, the male protagonists from the games wouldn't be automatically better than Ash. They either have no personality in their games due to being self-insert avatars or they'd have...hardly any character anyone once written into the show like the two times it's happened so far with Ethan (I'm
not calling him Gold) and Red. Even in Adventures, Red was honestly the only decent protagonist and he was still just your typical cap wearing shonen protag in some game based series, but that kinda comes with the territory.
The
entirety of Pokemon has always been incredibly dumb, not just the anime. Now the anime was easily at the height of it's stupidity during Unova...Good god, what even happened there? But XY turned that around
real fast and has been doing amazingly well since it started. People can whine and harp on the anime not going the way they want until they grow old and gray if they want, but regardless of whatever part of the franchise you love more, do keep one thing in mind The
only reason Pokemon went on past the 1st and 2nd Gens and continues to this day was because of it's immense popularity it garnered overseas which did in fact initially start from the anime and then spread into the games. Whether the case was such for you or not, there is no denying that the majority of the fanbase got into the games because they saw the show first. They sure didn't learn "all 150(1) Pokemon" from looking at a completed Pokedex in the game first. They probably listened to the PokeRap.
Ingrateful hypocrites, the lots of the Pokemon fanbase. So damn irritating. Goddamn.
You're the only person who I've ever heard say that. After having read Adventures, imma have to wholeheartedly disagree.
That's nice~ <3
After having read it myself, I came to the conclusion that I previously stated and plan to stick by it.
