^ same.
When I make RPs or just imagine something about pokémon, I usually go with the pokéspe canon. Because that's the most appealing and interesting imo.
But the anime has often done things that the games and manga hasn't, like giving pokémon strange moves and coming up with interesting strategies that hadn't worked in the games. Well, interestings strategies is maybe more what the early pokéspe manga does, but the manga goes too true to the games later on, I think. The anime does too, but not as much.
I'd still say they are all their own universes. If you're talking about an aspect of the pokémon world, you can state what canon you are referring to so that other people don't confuse things. :3
Hmmm.... but if I give it a second thought, I think the main games is the canon that should weigh the most though.
