>>58738072Usually butchered characters either piss me off or make me ignore them and I just bury them in my memory to forget it. So unfortunately I don't have an example for a bad one atm.
The good one is Victory Fire's atonement seeking Gengar from PMD RT. It made me see human-pokemon dynamics in a different light. It tickled my 'tism to the point where it shaped my entire future 20 year plan in terms of stories I want to work on. My mind kept coming up with new story ideas while brainstorming for this guy. VF really made use of the unseen potential Rescue Team left behind for Gengar. Unfortunately he got sidelined in his own story later on so I can't wholeheartedly say it tapped its full potential, but it grasped a very nice concept and did justice to it. It's not everyone's cup of tea, but for me it was just right.
