The Pokemon Anime Going DOWNHILL
- Thread starter AshsGirlSkymin
- Start date
lol, the anime was never good. They don't know much about the actual game, they make so many errors it's funny.
I can make a typical show in the Pokemon Anime:
-the gang are going to the next city to get Ash's next gym badge
-they meet and stranger
-the stranger says that there's a problem in town (for this case a horde of Magnemite, Magneton and Magnezone are interfering with the radio towers)
-the gang ask to help
-the gang help, and nearly sort out the problem until Team Rocket appear
-Team Rocket get blasted into space
-the stranger invites the gang to dinner
-the stranger reviles himself as the actual gym leader
-they battle next episode
It's so boring everything started with a "t".

It's an adaptation really. I don't think it's supposed to be severly accurate with the source material or else it would be to predictable. It's obvious that Pikachu isn't supposed to damage ground types, but thats supposed to make it interesting. Seeing bulbasaur take down a Scyther is supposed to be exciting or awesome because it's nearly impossible to do in the games. Taking liberties with the source material shouldn't be seen as an error. Taking liberties and failing to execute on the altered version should. For example we know Obidiah Stane had little relation to Tony Stark other than being a business rival and not a family friend wanting to take over the company, but that didn't stop the movie from being bad. On the other hand, we know Deadpool is a character known for his mouth and fighting techniques, so sewwing his mouth shut and making him a mindless drone was badly done and went against his character overall.
Again, it doesn't excuse the flaws of the show, but sometimes adaptations need to deviate from source material to give people a reason to watch/read/etc. If every adaptation followed the source material strictly, then why bother watching it? Granted, it would be nice to have the characters/stories/etc. we grew up with having an exact translation from source material in fully realized HD and w/e, but then we'd just have the source material, only prettier.

But, back then, Pokemon was enjoyable by all, huh?

Oh really? :O I thought Veronica Taylor still did, but changed her tone a bit.
Surely they should still have a understanding of the game's psychics though if they're going to make an adaptation?psyburn said:

I'm not saying "don't follow anything of the source material", because then we'd have another Legend of Chun Li (which is awful on it's own with or without liberties taken) but at least they got the "fire beats water" issues right. And personally I don't think Ghost Attacks hitting normal types is that huge of a deal. The only thing that irks me about "game accuracy" in the show is when Paul becomes one of those frontier trainers.
Strict accuracy would not make the show perfect, is all I am saying. And I think most members of the fanbase dont realize this, or they're looking for literally anything to make the show look worse than it already is.
Nope. A lot of people actually didn't like pokemon (not counting the over zealous controversialists of course).
The anime is a disgrace to the game.psyburn said:
Ok, they got some of the games phsycics right but the actual show is very boring as you can see in my previous post.

The anime has made many people believe that Pokemon is childish and pathetic.
I wasn't arguing that the show isn't bad (in fact, I wouldn't want to defend it at this point). I'm just saying that strict accuracy to the source material isn't a requirement for being halfway decent. As long as it's good, I could care less about accuracy... which is why I can't stand what they've done with Justin Hammer...>_>
But that Thunder Armor example was something I was talking about. It's supposed to have something interesting. Whether it was or wasn't is dependent on the viewer. Me? I don't care. I'm still irked about Primeape leaving as soon as he started to listen to Ash >_<

I think the best way for them to fix their fan base for the show would be to either bring back a different version of pokemon chronicles (I thought most of these episodes were very neat) or to have a spin off show following Pokemon Adventures/Special. Pokemon Special was just freaking spectacular I'm still reading a lot of it but everything is just so cool. The gym leaders are both good and bad and can be seen as protectors of the town. In the Ruby and Sapphire ark the Elite 4 and champion both play very large central rolls in the story. Almost every battle between the main characters is an epic struggle whether it's red vs blue (green) or Emerald vs. any of the frontier brains.
Dark Marc:
Thunder Armor isn't inaccurate towards the games at all.
Did you ever try having a Pikachu use Thunder on itself while flying on a Swellow in the games? No? Of course you didn't.
The anime usually isn't inaccurate, because they do things that can't even be TRIED in the games.
Besides, it makes things more interesting. It's cool.

New series starts next week... personally hoping for some good opening music. Anything Johto-y would rock.

Way too many agreeing posts in this thread... *hands out warnings*
Make an original post, just quoting someone and saying you agree is lazy and is considered spam.

For me The original is always the best but I still like the newer episodes but you never see them stopping and goofing all that much like they used to. Meaning taking a break and go to stores and do other stuff. You see it much rarely now. Before it was just raising Pokemon and battling here and there but I remember hearing back when season 8 started the viewers want more twards battling and more hard core style. It has been that way for too long. It needs to go back to the old days and the way it used to be.
It turns out Season 13 is getting delayed til this Summer and it's called "Pokemon: Sinnoh League Victors." Until then Cartoon Network is going to be airing Reruns of "Pokemon: Galactic Battles" a.k.a. Season 12.
Wow that sucks doesn't it. Gotta give them time to dub the episodes of course. I remember how Viz Media was like that dubbing Bleach and when it ran out of Dubs to air they delayed with reruns until they had new dubs to air.
