>>28967742>RoxieShe was introduced as a typically rebellious young girl, but as you interact with her and her father, you see her becoming increasingly mature, and her father is actually in the wrong. Interesting twist on things. When you interact with her later in the game, a lot of her dialogue is about being yourself, but still being smart and responsible, contrary to her introduction in the game, and the punk rock stereotype. It's rare for Game Freak to break stereotype conventions in their characters, because those are easy archetypes for kids to understand. So I always liked this little development/subplot.
>NSpeaks for itself honestly, he is second-most developed after Silver. Manipulated, pampered, righteous, but good-hearted, and the is he/isn't he a Zoroak subplot is somewhat poetic.
>Cheren and BiancaThese characters both started out very naive at the start of their journeys, but both grow and mature as the game progresses. Seeing them become successful in the PokéWorld n B2/W2 was the cherry on top.
>WallyStarts weak, gits gud, sort of feels like you're nurturing a younger family member into getting gud at Pokémon.
So I agree that Silver got the most time and attention to develop, ESPECIALLY in HG/SS which added tons more in the Post-Game. But there's still plenty of well-thought out subplots in the games that are notable, and IMO it's very reasonable to think to some people may personally prefer some of the alternatives.
>>28967901The anime pre-dates Yellow, genius. Why do you think Jessie and James cameo in Yellow?
>Ash-Greninja means the anime is canonNo. There are a billion character and timeline inconsistencies stemmed from the fact that the anime is simply an adaptation. Not to mention all the explicit character counterparts. For example, Iris, and Blue/Gary.
Ash-Greninja is yet to have an explanation in the games. Even if it's explained that Ash-Greninja came from a boy called Ash, it wouldn't be the same Ash from the anime.
