>>51228260> muh games.Anime is not limited by mechanics of games, it was established pretty much day one. You had Pikachu taking down multiple Spearows at once, Onix getting owned by thundershock, Caterpie using string shot to stun and blind Team Rocket, Team Rocket blowing themselves up because Pikachu ignited Koffing's smog, Bulbasaur making fucking piroette to free himself from Tangela's bind etc. etc. but the moment when writters decided that Pikachu uses his Thunder attack to strengthen his partner in battle via rule of cool and awesome you lose your shit and start yapping about your game mechanics like a fucking retard.
