>>39489815>Or pointlessly changing characters, like making characters villains like Gym Leaders and the Elite Four villains, or giving prominent game characters the shaft in writing.Nah, I think that's fun and makes it more interesting overall, what would you have done with Kanto's story, just a 1-1 adaptation of the game? That would have been shit since the original game is pretty bare-bones. Changing the gym leaders into rocket members gives more to them than just being battles to be over-come.
That being said I don't think special is very good and sometime after the Yellow arc it takes a huge nosedive, but the early stuff is pretty fun.
