>>58000490>NTA but look at the examples you gave, Misty and Brock in the games are a two minute fight and you never see them again but the anime gave them personality, goals and quirky traits that made them memorable, same with every other region up until Journeys.But that's kinda my point, game characters aren't fleshed out enough and the anime has to write them almost entirely - making them effectively OCs in all but design. So bitching about OCs is essentially retarded
>They added too many original characters, with barely any new pokemon on their teamsnow this is a very fair point, but putting already existing game characters wouldn't really solve it. Would Journeys be better if Chloe was literally Gloria, and Goh was literally Hop? Would HZ be better if Liko was literally Juliana, Roy was literally Nemona, Dot was literally Penny etc? You get the gist.
That's what I'm arguing about, the mindless "OC OC OC" schizo rambling. The anime always has been 90% OC.
