How come no other shonen monster battling anime perfected the formula as well as Pokémon did? All the rest inevitably devolve into the secondary characters just cheering on the mc from the sidelines and explaining the rules and mechanics of the game after each turn
>>284770000The pokemon anime is fucking terrible.
>>284770000>perfected>Pokemon It's the worst of the bunch, resetting the MC's competence every region.
>>284770000Yu-Gi-Oh > power gap > pokemon
>>284770000>All the rest inevitably devolve into the secondary characters just cheering on the mc from the sidelines and explaining the rules and mechanics of the game after each turnBeyblade doesn't fit that description
>>284770000The fuck? Pokemon was a comedy anime first and foremost, it wasn't a nekketsu show by any means, if anything it felt more like a parody to the 90s shows for little boys.
>>284770000Pokemon had the video game/merchandise benefit, th actual anime is very mediocre to badDigimon and Yugiohs story shit on pokemonDuel Masters dub was good for getting into full parody territory

>>284770436>resetting the MC's competence every region.Only time that happened was on Best Wishes.
>>284777759Shut the fuck up, ESL and go back to cocksucking Ash's dick on /vp/.
>>284777759Nobody cares about your damage control. Inconsistent garbage per gen with him, live with it.
>>284770000I too prefer pokeman to digiman
>>284770000I prefer digiman to pokeman
>>284770000Pokemon took the worst route to avoid that, for decades kept resetting and telling you all the progress amounted to nothing in the big leagues. then phased out the secondary characters anyway.When it DID want to do big "high stakes" tournament to show Ash was on a higher level, the secondary characters did get reduced to cheerleaders (the leagues, aside from Alolah's, which just failed to feel like a big deal).
>>284770000>All the rest inevitably devolve into the secondary characters just cheering on the mc from the sidelines and explaining the rules and mechanics of the game after each turnHave you never watched a single (formal) battle episode in pokemon?
>>284780450Ash did better in the leagues each time though, cant see how you say it says his progress amounted to nothing in the big leagues. That's one of the things it did well.
>>284777953>>284777997> Point fact > No you can't point fact Cope.Ash had a consistent growth from OG to DP until a new executive showed up to dumb him down to shove his fanfic OC like Alain and Trip.
>>284777759That's the most blatant case of it, yes.
>>284770000The TrAshnime is literally the worst anime ever made. 26 YEARS of unwatchable drivel with a protagonist who makes that faggot from KanoKari look like god's gift to MCs by comparison. Liko's yuri harem anime is pretty decent though.
>>284774537>it felt more like a parody to the 90s shows for little boysMotherfucker, it IS a '90s show for little boys.
>>284770000But Digimon was better and has always been.
