Emerald is one of the most hated characters, so people clearly don't care for his tragic dwarfism backstory.

tbqh, I never see Wally brought up as much regarding the dislike of Emerald.

Besides, Wally being "Emerald" was always a fake rumor that western fans latched on to. Wally being registered as a dex holder in the magazine was a fake-out to prevent spoiling the Emerald arc which began concurrently with the point in RS when the Wally chapters dropped in early 2005. The volume versions rewrote the scene with generic static noises.

I rarely see this brought up anymore these days. Criticisms are moreso due to his godawful design and backstory.

I think Emerald, his whole thing is that he's meant to emcompass every aspect of the franchise at the time which is a nigh-difficult job so his design & arc suffer for it.

Emerald is an annoying Smogonfag who gets praised by Todd over nothing in the start and who takes far too long to develop
Add to this that his arc is pretty meandering until Guile shows up and it's understandable why he's hated
Although between him getting more popular in the ORAS arc through being the only person with common sense and the B2W2 arc, I think he's not the most hated anymore

Apparently, the design was deliberately awful
Yamamoto knew that it would get criticized no matter what so he made a terrible design so that he wouldn't be affected as much by the criticisms

One thing I enjoy about the Emerald arc is how Guile is unstoppable through most of it, then Gold shows up and stomps him by himself, and then, after the Kanto Dex Holders and Silver get resurrected, he and Red make easy work out of him
It's a nice way to show how experienced the older Holders are at this point, specially if you remember how much trouble Mask of Ice gave Gold in each of their fights

I've read his design was also meant to slightly invoke Colosseum, since his pacifying soil is meant to be a mirror of purification (Ranger didn't release when the arc started).

Have you seen Yamamoto's other original character designs? They're all awful. I used to think he just didn't want to take attention away from the official licensed characters in Pokespe, but then he and Kusaka made a completely unrelated manga (The Three Musketeers) and all three of the main characters he designed were disgusting to look at. It was so bad I can't even find images of it online anymore, the universe purged it.

<1% chance. LGPE didn't get one, neither did PLA. How far is SV? Will that be finished before Gen 10?
As much as I'd like to see ZA get the treatment, frankly I'm glad the era of 2 or 3 Pokespe adaptations running at the same time is over so we never get another B2W2 situation.
>I honestly think they should get another manga for this content.
That would be nice, though the Pokémon manga landscape has been sad since the 3DS. We used to get 2 or 3 adaptations for the likes of Colosseum, Mystery Dungeon, and Ranger. Now, bigger titles like Legends Arceus doesn't have any and I assume Legends Z-A will share the same fate. LGPE did get one, but it was a tutorial one shot on how to play the game.

This guy's name is just cursed. At least "Whi-Two" makes a cute pun in Japanese (Faitsu = "faito" = "fight" or something) so it doesn't just exist to sound retarded. Because of the BW2 hiatus mess we were stuck with those names for quite a while too until Viz finally named them Blake and Whitley.
>>58773697
Funnily enough I always wondered what the deal with Looker's Japanese name was, I just assumed it was also a double entendre in that language the same way the word "looker" is.

In Kusaka's attempts to make every dexholder unique, it was just a matter of time before he made a sociopath character.

Also, if Blake despite his autism was given a secret emotional side that cared for his Pokemon/had a crush on Whitley/had a conscious, then he'd just be a Ruby clone. Having real feelings is what sanded off the edgier parts of Ruby's character, leaving him controversial. Meanwhile Blake had those buffers removed, so instead of just being controversial he's largely hated.
