Is it okay to love the game but hate the anime? I just saw an episode on Cartoon Network and it was fucking AWFUL.

Stop having shit taste, son.
The Ashnime is pretty good. Look for the original, and not the generic shitvoice-acting crap that CN offers.

Gosh, why is 'Murrica so shit at voice acting, but when Hollywood startlets do it, it's so good...

I think the anime would be fine if they just changed the FUCKING PROTAG FOR ONCE. it doesnt even have to be the players in the games, it can be some random guy every time and I guess they can all have their own pikachus because series mascot.

Yeah I recently watched the episode where Ash gets Hawlucha.

It just felt so...soulless in something for some reason. Like I never really wanted to support Ash or Hawlucha, or anyone.

And yes OP the anime is complete fucking garbage, the worst aspect of the franchise. I'm actually baffled anyone could enjoy it.

It is soulless.
The writers know that they have to stick to a Monster of the Week formula so that they can change the pacing depending on when new games come out.
This restricts them in creating interesting developing characters or longer meaningful non-filler arcs.

The anime is a marketing tool and should never be taken as anything more than that.

It's soulless because the english voice actors can't show emotion for shit.
Also Hawlucha had its own theme in the japanese version, which of course didn't make it through.

So much this.

They should just replace him already. Let him win the league, whatever it is to get him out of the show.

He's so incompetent it hurts to watch. Love and friendship? Bullshit. He's just using it as an excuse for being a bad trainer.

And don't throw me, "but he beat legends, anion" he's using plot strength and plot armour, not real skill.

Ash used to lose his shit over absolutely anything. Caught pokemon at first sight that then attacked him and didn't care he was trying to be a pokemon master.

Now he thinks all experiences have a purpose, invites a girl to travel with him, only catches pokemon if they understand what they're getting into.

That's character development, even if it's shit compared to what you want.

They just decided to reset him in the last season, then realized that was fucking stupid and undid it.

Show's fine by me. I don't have high standards for children's television. Pokemon at least has more heart into it than Power Rangers right now. THAT's a soulless show if there's ever been pne.

Well, this season is anyway

After playing the games for so long the bullshit in the anime seems so ridiculous.

I watched one episode last night, actually. It was the BW series during the championships

>2v2 singles
>pikachu taking Dragon Tail and not switching out
>Tbolt not working because Serperior grounded itself
>combining Electro Ball and Iron Tail
>Pronouncing Ferrothorn as "fer-raw-thorn"
>Escavalier losing to dual Razor Shells even after three Iron Defenses thanks to "internal reverberations" BS
>Emboar taking a Hydro Cannon to the face and surviving

It made me so mad I started laughing.

I started watching the XY releases and they've seemed decent enough to me. I like the battles and the higher quality animation.
