ShinySoul Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Do you prefer the Pokemon Anime or the Pokemon Adventures/Special Manga? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorekeeper Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Manga. So much manga. It's... more mature, for one thing. With actual, you know, plot, and stakes. And for another, it has nothing to do with Ash. Or even just one person. Having the actual player characters as the protagonists instead of some random ten year old? And actual game characters? Yeah, for all of the anime's popularity, the manga just eclipses it in quality... Or, at least, the ability to keep someone over age twelve interested.

Peepeepoopoo Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 It actually depends. As a kid I loved watching the anime, but now it's utter garbage. Years upon years of the same character and his failures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hiss13 Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 For Pokemon, the manga is incredible. The characters are really likable. It actually adds on to the story of the games and does a really good job of making a great series of stories which are really fleshed out. Hell, the Ruby-Sapphire Arc is near unanimously loved by the fans for example. The Black-White Arc has one of the most emotional endings I've seen for Pokemon and so forth. Frankly, I still wish the anime could be replaced by the manga. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperHemisphere Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 I am still waiting for an anime adaption of the manga (which is not gonna happen but one can dream right?) Manga focuses on main characters of the games unlike anime which focuses on Ash's harem. Also manga has great story unlike the anime's Ash goes to a new region with his pikachu who should be by now 8379 lvl or something, loses to nearly every gym once with 20 episodes between each gym Fiiiinally joins to the leauge then enters to top 16/8/4 then loses. it started to be real boring after Advanced Generation.

CrazySheriff Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Also people in the manga actually age between the story arcs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milotic Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 (edited) I, like everyone else, hates what the anime has become lol, but I do actually enjoy one thing that they are doing which is the Mega Evolution Specials. Not sure if you guys have heard of them(theres only 3 atm), but thats the only thing I watch anime-wise. imo its shows a bit more maturity and its so much more interesting, honeslty wish it could replace the current anime.

Helia Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 The manga is awesome, good story (up to platinum for me, the start of BW bored me a bit so I quit reading it) I love how the first 4 gens interacted with each other at some point. Good character development and it helps putting a story behind the player characters. That interaction stopped when platinum finished. Of course, gen 5 being completely separate from the other regions it makes sense but I'm not a big fan of the whole story of Unova so I couldn't be bothered.

Myst Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 The start of unova for the manga did little justice for me as well, but I gave it a chance, cause everything is is so well. And its good. Didnt expect what happened at the start of Kalos. I do enjoy the anime from time to time. More of nostalgic value, and the Kalos arc isnt as bad as BW imo. Though I tend to be more interested in Ash's companions over him, always hoping to have good eps dedicated to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
