>>55753774I completely agree! I also like how every media version is kind of distinct from each other, but I mostly see the Japanese fandom dive into that; the English fandom feels more like the anime versions only, more so for the silly train men shenanigans.
As for the OG, I think that also ties with the whole duality theme from the games; even if they are just some bosses from a gauntlet, I always thought they were somewhat related to the whole Zekrom/Reshiram and twin heroes stuff.
