>>20396382Kanto had a good arc, but I really liked the Johto one, although I kind of figured who was the Mysterious Man before they revealed him. I don't remember any edginess so big on them, though; maybe during Kanto's final arc. I'll have to reread it to confirm it.
The RSE arc, however, was all edgy, all stupid.
>>20396218 should give you a hint or two on how unnecessary some parts were. You can read them and make your own conclusions, but I don't really recommend it because I don't think it was enjoyable at all.
You should read the DPPt one, though. It all seems so damn natural and well made that I genuinely laughed out of enjoyment most of the time while reading it. One might argue that the Pt arc was somewhat rushed and/or not as big as it should have been, but I liked it anyway.
