>>45371454I don't get how people with no imagination get any enjoyment this franchise. All pokemon media, whether it's animu or mango or vidya, is incredibly shallow, but that's part of the appeal. Pokemon can be anything you want, you get to fill in all the blanks with whatever interests you. The Pokemon Company itself used to encourage this by releasing piles of different genres of media aimed at all kinds of audiences. Pokemon can be the most generic shonen battle anime imaginable if you want it to be, which is great if that's what you're into, but it can also be an ecchi comedy, an adventure epic, a war drama, a card game anime, even a shojo romance. Even the biggest piece slice of the pie after merch, the games, are pretty open for interpretation. As far as I'm concerned BW is shojo (or tanbi if you're playing as Hilbert) and there's nothing anyone can do to convince me otherwise.
>>45371470If I played PTU katana honedge would be real tempting, but I'd struggle not to bore all the other players with intense sword autism that no one else is interested in ;_;
