I've always understood that there are totally shit adaptions of works out their that simply can not be defended. But the manga has always fallen in the 'fine' area of the spectrum, which is fine. It has interesting interpretations of certain characters and gym leaders, and the OC's fit in the setting.
People who call it shit never point at things that are indefensible, but just at things which they don't like. Which is also... fine, I guess? But there's nothing wrong with enjoying something that's a 7/10, especially when your perfect golden adaption is never going to come out.
Some people will become super pissy at this perspective and demand to know whether they are being told to accept mediocrity, which... yeah. Accept it. You accept mediocre shit in life all the time, it's fine.
