Let me just say that the anime is garbage and gives the games a bad name.
>>59354971I held this sentiment like 15 years ago, but nowadays I’m not really sure I’ll say the games are that much better nor is the anime relevant enough to seethe over anymore.
>>59354973the good games have zero anime presence
>>59354973The Galar adaptation was fucking trash for anyone who cared about the region.
>>59354975Even die hard animefags agree PM19 was awful. The only ones defending it is Ash selfinserters, and even they only do it because he won in the final episode. Had he lost to Shillon they'd have hated it too.

>>59354971This was a common thought around gen 1-6 or 7-ish.Maybe because the sprites still left room for imagination, in the 3D era they started showing the characters having big smiles or staring blankly regardless of what's happening (especially in the early 3D ones) which took that immersion of a more "serious" iteration, or maybe because gen 4-6 were trying something more dramatic with the lore and plot that was distinct from the anime.
