>>34315523Its not an argument to just say "oc characters" because its irrelevant. A character is necessary if they elevate the plot or expand on the narrative and Yellow did by putting Green and Blue in mentor roles, developing their characters. She also allowed for the manga to introduce Pokemon on a main character's team that were often overlooked such as Rattata and doduo.
>there's no need to add Emerald while it would be Wally or another npcI'm not going to argue Emerald is the most well-written character ever, but the reason these characters are added is to bridge the gap. You know as well as I do that the anime is stale and silly because Ash never grows up. There's no reason to be invested because his arc is never going to conclude. Arguably the main reason PokeSpe is still fun is because each game release we move onto new protagonists.
>so theres no need to create random characters with shit desings.There was one. Emerald, that's it. Yellow is a good character.
>Lillie, Steven, Silver, Blue, N don't have their own characterization?Silver, Lillie, Blue and N don't have different personalities in the manga and Steven doesn't have a much of a personality outside of being a rock collector. The manga didn't really "change" his personality anyway, it just expanded on it.
>Especially if you focus in the quest against the villain team, like the manga doesThe story of PokeSpe is different from the games because they often either go over what's already been done in the case of the remakes, or they need extra villains because the games lack them. The reason Sabrina, Lt. Surge and Koga are bad guys in the manga is because Red and Blue don't have any other Team Rocket members of note, which would have meant he would have to make your dreaded OCs to pad it out. The manga can't get away with leaving out as many details as the games can because its entirely story driven, so it needs people for the characters to fight and progress through (cont)
