Why didn't the Pokemon anime ever embrace fanservice? Even Digimon had it.

It would be a lot more popular today if they gave the people what they want.

That's an easy one, it did! The Pokemon anime sits on a bridge between komodo and shonen. Misty's legs and midriff plenty qualify as fanservice for the target audience.

No, you don't. Pokémon anime was made to further pokémania, to keep the brand alive in the kid demo until Game Freak could unfuck the Gen 2 dev cycle and launch the game. It continued to be made to CONTINUE to further the brand to kids and got sold all around the world, becoming far more successful than the average shitheap anime that barely got sold outside Japan.
As a result, they didn't NEED to behave like the rest their industry, they've been an island unto themselves (or are you ignoring they managed to sell movies to people for fully 23 iterations before stopping?) since they got going, because millions of fuckhead kids tuned in religiously back in the day and binge-watch to fuck, like adults do with dramedy box sets today since it hit streaming services. Almost as if like Game Freak, they don't NEED to go after retarded manchild adults, who either can't accept or can't understand they grew the fuck up and no cunt's interested in wasting money making any of their shit for they/them any more.

There was more fanservice in the movies. Obviously the anime had to follow tv regulations and shit.

And OP is in no way the average target audience member, ergo my comments.

>Why didn't the Pokemon anime ever embrace fanservice?
What do you mean? They paraded their main female protagonist, which is 10 years old, in the shortest shorts possible and a crop top. Outside of a micro bikini, how much more whoring did you need from her from a kid's show?

Unfortunately this episode is banned in the west. And it’s not because of James’ tits because that never made it into the dub in the first place. It was just because of how much of the episode is Misty being used as eyecandy or getting ogled by older guys.

Pretty sure it was James tits that got it banned. This "pedo hysteria" of girls in bikinis wasn't a thing back then. Plenty of other shows (both Anime and American drawn cartoons) had it.

>>59301348
Initially yes. But then 2 years later they cut the James scene and aired the episode twice over a summer. And the it got banned again. Why?
>>
>>59301310
That shot you quoted is one of the best in the series. Mainly because it shows how wide her hips/ass are.
>>
>>59301348
The major concern during the day was violence, skimpy outfits/nudity, and religious references.

Character ages just never came up because unless you watched a season opening where they say "This is Ash from Pallet Town and he's 10" you wouldn't know that. They were on an adventure and the only times they set foot inside of a school it was as a visitor of some kind, and the school children were noticeably younger. Some places were being sneaky about it by listing a character age as N/A if not scrubbing them entirely and just relying on people going "oh those Japanese" and not drilling deeper into the fact they're in a school uniform. Nowadays character ages and the fact they're in middle school or high school are a google search away.

pokemon fandom is so big, it includes fanservice enjoyer but also a lot of sjw and other retards like americans and soccer moms, so excessive fanservice would be harmful for the franchise, because those subhumans would start to make a mess, which is the last thing TPC and GF want. That's why they do good looking girls without going full fanservice, so everyone is happy, fanservice enjoyers can make porn of the girls and sjws can gaslight themselves about lgbt relationships, traps, feminine males, fujo bait etc

Your point about religion is a bit off. If anything they dialed it back later on. But often times stereotypes or symbol use of religions without context or understanding was fine. See links shield having a cross in the first game or Misty showing a cross off to Ghastly in the series (that made it to the dub)
