>>39600381Anime has heavy influence on the games though. Case and point ALL Pikachu and Meowth no longer walk on all fours or act like they did in the first few generations, they now act and even talk like their anime counterparts specifically Ash's Pikachu and Team Rocket's Meowth, what other anime influences worked their way into the game and are not canon I wonder?
Don't be so quick to dismiss the anime anon, it can and does influence the shape of the games.
