How come all Sup Forums related Pokemon stuff is shit? Ashnime is shit. Origins was shit. The various manga are shit. Can't they just get a good author to write a LN, manga or original anime for them?
I'm sure most mangaka and studio would lick their fingers to write for a profitable franchise like Pokemon. Has an IP ever been so mishandled?
Oliver Lopez
a lot of pokemon fans are retarded and consume all the media anyway
Hudson Perry
The entire franchise is made to sell toys/cards/videogames. The anime are just a sales boost.
Jack Gomez
I've wondered about this as well. Pokemon is a massive franchise, you'd think it would have at least one good anime/manga adaption but nope, they're all varying degrees of crap. It's not like it would be that difficult to make a cool anime/manga set in the Pokemon world.
Leo Stewart
SM anime is great.
Chase James

Logan Edwards
Go on /vp/ it's mainly complaining about shit the franchise is.
Sebastian Young
Might read some of the manga, which series are good?
Aiden Ward
SM anime is fantastic. instead of being a generic battle anime it's now some bunkers combination of human-Pokemon relations, dumb humor and some battles (which are so far in between they are almost non existent). Regardless it's still a kids show that only dumbfucks take seriously.
Parker Price
the Nuzlocke manga was alright
Jordan Flores
/vp/ is always complaining
Gabriel Kelly
the target audience is younger than the usual, that's why. why make something elaborate when kids will enjoy it for less?
Nolan Rivera
>beega... >b-beegachu...
Kevin Green
That doesn't make it right. I'm sure even kids would enjoy it a lot more if it was actually good.
Dylan Butler
Specials/adventures are widely considered the best.
Jackson Rodriguez
I had a very bad case of shit taste as a kid, and I bet most people had. I still do, however.
Aiden Anderson
The anime is good currently, everything else is shit now. Funny because 2 generations ago the games were fantastic and the anime was shit.
Henry Roberts
Atleast USUM is better than the mainline games that came out in the last 5 years so there is finally an improvement even if the bar is very low.
Austin Cooper
It's the exact same garbage as SM with even less justification for a third version than ever.
David Carter
They just need kids to like it while the older audience plays the games and buys things like figures
Hunter Morgan
>The various manga are shit Say that to my face fucker
Connor Diaz
Pokemon Special is shiiiiiiit.
Easton Peterson
I found the manga a bit better; Pikachu was more of an asshole to Ash at times, and Jessie and James actually got a good end.
I think there was also a bit more Misty/female fanservice too.
Caleb Morgan
The concept of pokémon only works for games
Ayden Gonzalez
Why do you think so? The concept of Pokemon itself is fine, but they keep fucking it up by trying to adapt the games.
Aaron Powell
A guy accidentally gets ran over by a truck while on a shiny hunt.
God pities him and allows him to reincarnate in a pokemon world with a cheat ability that makes a pokeball as effective as a masterball. Follow the adventure Liang Xi on his quest to be a pokemon master.

Angel Torres
Dengeki Pikachu was made by Toshihiro Ono: who was, up until the manga, was almost exclusively a hentai artist. when it got translated into English, a good deal of racy shit had to be cut out.
Michael Reed
But they're not exactly good though.
Isaiah Taylor
>The concept of a World where humans co-exist with strange monsters/animals and fight alongside them in a large scale journey ONLY can work in video games ???
Ethan Lopez
Bump.
Isaac Anderson
Liang Xi God damnit I would ride the hype train all season
Jaxon Hill
Literally any original Pokemon anime wasn't made for a child audience would be an instant success and fan favourite.
