My friend, have you read a manga called Pokemon Special before? 'Cause you just described it to a T. I really wouldn't mind a PokeSpecial anime at all, since all the charcters are so well developed. If they caqn't do that, then they should at least make an Arc based on Kenta and Marina from chronicles.
Yeah, I read it. At least what I was able to find (cause publishing was cancelled and I wasn't able to import it yet, damn, I'm nor rich ;_;...I have the japanese scans and try to translate them) and I agree with you. I would like a PokeSpecial anime. Edit: This is how it was and I know there are scans...but translating myself is more fun XD It's been awhile since I last looked for them...
I also watched Pokemon chronicles (the ones I found...weren't published in my country as well...I missed two episodes...)
Chronicles weren't enough...I'd also want more manga...
They could make so many great series and episodes...
I wouldn't mind the old characters to appear in an anime though
Something like an OOC series in which every character has a serieous background. They could use stuff from the TV show just different and more mature...
Anyway I want to see an anime of the special manga as well.
There are so many characters which deserve more attention...An arc based on Kenta and Marina would be great as well.
I want to see all that ><
There's a discussion about Satoshi going on, huh?
My opinion about him is not that bad exept that he's boring...
I mean the show really has no interesting plot because many ideas are used again and again.
The movies were nice but since it's a kids show we know from the beginning that Satoshi will be the one who save the day...
He is no bad protagonist, but since there's nothing really bad or serious happening, he won't be able to show more interesting aspects of himself (him always acting all brave and srong is a little bit boring...also when you know who'll be the one who makes the day...even when he loses battle)
Considering his age I can also understand when his thoughts are a little superficial (the friend-with-everyone and such...)
He also developed, compared with the beginning he is more serious now, but there are really silly moments, too.
It's strange that his body don't mature...
I would say, he's no bad protagonist, only the story isn't well written and if that was changed maybe he could get a little more interesting.
Has someone read the Manga about him? Dengeki Pikachu...That was nice and in my opinion better than the show, though it was a little bit different.
