Also, serious talk, Pokespe has better human characters but the Pokémon are almost entirely devoid of personality compared to the anime. And the battles rely too much on keikakus and turnabouts most of the time. Sometime I just want to see strong mons exchanging blows without excessive out-of-the-box strategies and I feel the anime strikes a better balance.

That said, they have different strenghts so I don't think they really compete.

That can be dealt with easily. Look at Jojo, Yukako is in love is an arc that has no bearing on the rest of the story, and its 9 chapters long. But it definietly won't be in anime, it will be reduced to 3 episodes at most.
>>
>>26209021
I feel like, for Pokespe, the Pokemon a character catches should play off them or complement their personality and help them grow. Each one should be an important member of the team, and we're usually shown why this is. The main exceptions are Gold and Krys, and I feel they're worse off because of it.

This is 100% false. Pokemon are protayed as friends and have significant, real feelings, far more than the anime ever made them, with its shitty cliched personalities, but its more nuanced. In the anime, pokemon win by "the pwer of friendsip", in PokeSpe, they win by callorbarating with their trainer to come up with strategies that FUNDEMENTALLY RELY ON THAT POKEMON'S PERSON ABILITY. I'm sorry, but if you cannot see that, you're a fuckign idiot and deserve to watch an anime with an eternal 15 sand his shitty class clown personality pokemon designed to impress 2 year olds.

The only dexholder mons that have a noticeable personality I can think of right off the bat are Diamond's Munchlax and Gold's Togekiss.
>>
>>26209139
Please post specific examples instead of calling me names then. The only true examples I can think of of Pokémon really showcasing personalities in Pokespe are Gold's Togepi and Ruby's Feebas. Almost everyone else is a tool of battle who follows its trainer's commands. Where's the personality in Red's team? Or Crystal's? Or in any of the gen 4 dex holders?
>>
>"yoggg"
What the hell kind of onomatopoeia is this?

>>26209185

Diamond's Munchlax and Pearl's Chatot aren't that bad. Platinum's team is definitely more than a little devoid of emotion though.
>>
>>26209199
Right, they were okay. What the other guy was saying though holds no water, Muchlax's personality for instance is no different from your typical anime jokemon like Piplup, Oshawott or Chespin with no more nuance.
>>
>>26209184

Nah, all of them do. Red's Snorlax does, Pika does, Gold's Mantine, and Donphan does, all of Yellows pokmeon do, all of the Pokemon do. The reason its confused is because, yeah, in PokeSpe pkemon are often used as tool to meet an end. But their actual abilitys and personalities are more fleshed out than the anime's simplistic version, where all pokemon are hollow caracitures, and most of them are simply left out.

>>26209185

>pika
>donphan
>all of green's pokemon when red has them
>snorlax
>poli
>most of blues pokemon, expecially ditty

I can go on. Well, yeah, they all obviously follow their leader's commands. All of Ash's do too. And this is something the manga only gets better at. In the XY chapters, all o X's pokemon have a backstory.
>>
>>26209260
Maybe I should re-read the manga, you do seem to have a point.
>>
>>26209260
I don't remember significant quirks or characteristics from any of those mons that make them any better than anime Pokémon. What does Gold's Mantine do other than being used as a glider?

Just take a look at Bulbapedia's article on Ash's Oshawott and say it has a simplistic personality.

Yeah that's understandable, and I'm a yellowfag. She's a pretty big mary sue but the focus on the gym leaders in the Yellow arc was pretty nice. I don't think you'd miss too much if you skipped it though.

And the anime is also pretty good with its Pokémon in XY. Ash's Froakie has a pretty in-depth backstory and motivations, and there are great interactions between all the group's mons, for instance Froakie/Frogadier/Greninja being bros with Fletchling/Fletchinder/Talonflame, Goomy overcoming his fear of fairy types by befriending Bonnie's Dedenne (to the point that Goodra's upcoming return episode is titled "Goodra and Dedenne"), Hawlucha hatching Noibat's egg and becoming his surrogate father, teaching him how to fly and stand up for himself (with the roles being reversed when Noibat evolves and saves Hawlucha), Clemont's Chespin and Serena's Pancham squabbling and then becoming bros, Bunnelby playing the straight man to everyone and being the only Pokémon Serena's Eevee is comfortable around... All these interactions make the cast more lively and you don't really see them in Pokespe.

>>26209292

He uses Mantaro for many things, usually as a means of aerial assault. But remeber too, the manga has far more characters to flesh out than the anime. The anime is done on a "character of the week" basis, PokeSpe isn't.

>>26209306

Its literally just Chikarita.

>>26209323

>ash's pikachu

That ois literally the main focus of the series of the series and has had 15 years to flesh out, and it still doens't really have a perosnality. That time when Pika crawled back to Pallet Town to warn Proffesor Oak about Bruno in the Mange or the time it atually had a child is ten times more characterization than Ash's. Herll, it basically had an arc devoted to it, Yellow, whcih is Pika trying to find Red.

Don't back down now, you just listed ways Mantine is used as a tool and how the Pokémon aren't really fleshed out, which is the case regardless of what justification you throw out (in this case having more characters than the anime). Both of which were my points.
>>
>>26209331
You won't miss much if you skip it. Just a buncha "evul eleet fore" and Yellow glorifying.

Yeah, come back when Pika refuses to fight his own clone while taking hits instead.
Literally any Pokemon would have returned to Pallet Town to warn Oak about the E4, it's not limited to Pika.

Sorry, but its just not ture. Maybe the manga doesn't characterize them in the same way sure, but that's because its not slice of life like the anime is. And it certainly does characterize the pokmeon of not only the main characters, but also the enemies, like Giovanni's Mega-Beedrill.

I don't know what you tried to prove. And I get that Pokespe is more plot-focused, I'm fine with that. But that means its Pokémon can't be as fleshed out as those in the anime and that the anon arguing they are more nuanced/have deeper feelings and personalities is wrong.
>>
>>26209505
Before you correct me on Blue's team, the "personality" written on there is a mistranslation. It's just each Pokémon's Nature.

Black definitely has ADHD or something similar. As for White she helped Black become not as much of a self centered asshole and was tied in a bit with N's story, though she's still an extremely boring character.

Cheren and Bianca got fucked in the story to make room for White. Cheren had a pretty heartwarming part in the end but he doesn't even remember it in BW2.

Black-two is just a complete mary sue. It's like they didn't even attempt to make him believable or likeable.
White-two was only in the organization because her mom was. They only had her working with the stolen pokemon not doing evil shit.

I've been thinking about this a lot and Pokemon Special is definitely better than the Anime. Sometimes.

I mean in general, you could probably argue PokeSpe overall is better, but for example, things like the Yellow Arc or Emerald arc can't compare to things like XY&Z and the better parts of the DP anime.

Basically, the anime has a lot more crap then PokeSpe, but I think the anime at it's best is better than PokeSpe at it's best. But at the same time, the anime at it's worst is far worse then PokeSpe at it's worst. For everything wrong with Yellow arc, it was still leagues better then Best Wishes.
>>
>>26214377
I kinda get what you mean. For example, the Emerald chapter was a steaming pile of shit, but the final battle wasn't really that bad, considering, while BW was completely irredeemable trash from start to finish.

On the other hand, gen 6 anime's performing pretty well compared to gen 6 PokeSpe.

So what exactly is wrong with Ruby in ORAS? The way I saw it was that there simply hasn't been any offscreen character development, Ruby and Sapphire are still the same people, and Ruby specifically is arrogant and thinks he knows what's best, and I think that is totally in line with how he's been in the past.

I really doubt they'd just say White found the stone offscreen, I'd be pretty anticlimactic. One of the BW2 kids will probably be a chosen hero and activate the light stone, only for Ghetsis to go "all according to plan" and fuse Reshiram with Kyurem.
