    And well, that's the point it's different from other part of the franchise, it's more mature.

    Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't Ash get turned into stone at the end of the first Pokemon movie. I know it is a kid show, but I believe even they are not limited to showing stuff like that if the show is rated PG that is, but he did not die though.

    I have read Pokemon Special and Pokemon Diamond and Pearl Adventures they are both seperate story and written by different authors I think that both of them are good, but I have to read other mangas too to really judge which one I like the best. I also have to finish reading Pokemon Diamond and Pearl Adventures also before I judge it.

    Haha yeah he was turned to stone. But he was revived by the tears of the Pokemon, which is an obvious kid thing. Just like in the Spongebob movie.

    ROFL, yeah.... let me point out. That was a movie. NOT AN EPISODE, but a film, and when you compare the movies to the episodes, movies are more intense because usually films are suppoesed to be grand and "epic".
    Now, if that happened in a episode, it might be a different story.

    Manga, hands down.

    I like the Anime and all, but I think the storyline in the Manga is much better. The Manga has a far better buildup, and of course more action. The battles are more... descriptive? I don't know how to explain it, but a Manga battle is a good battle. The Manga doesn't have explosions when Razor Leaf and Thunderbolt collide.

    I completely agree with you Lash. I like the manga because like you said, more action, plus it actually has character development and plot twists.

    Ah and pong08, don't forget that Ash actually did die once in the anime.

    I really wish the creators had something better in mind when they had the Pokemon revive Ash with their tears. I mean I know it was for kids and all but..gah. But Pokemon obviously have crazy supernatural powers (not like that's not obvious enough haha) plus tear revival and the ghosts reviving Ash when he was killed at Pokemon Tower.

    of course the manga is better than the anime.
    all characters in the manga have really strong pokemon but ash and co.'s pokemon are SO weak.
    dawn and platina both have a piplup decades ago but dawn's still haven't evolve!!
    and dawn has a buneary while platina has a lopunny...
    AND the anime is so BORING~
    every episode waste time on team rocket stealing pokemon, found by ash and co,beaten by ash and co, send flying or something like that...

    I've never been a huge fan of the animé, but when I was younger of course I found it appealing. I mean, what child wouldn't? xD
    Although I've only read the RBGY and some of the GSC arc of the manga, I have found that the storyline is far superior to that of the animé. It's really far from repetitive, whereas the animé is basically the same thing every few episodes.

    I'm not saying the animé is just outright bad, since I've been told it really picked up in the DP series, which I haven't watched, but I much prefer the storyline of the manga.

    There is not a WORD of that that I don't agree with. Like what _cynthia_ said, the plot is ALWAYS that Ash and co. meet the character of the day, Team Rocket comes up with some half-a*sed plan, they try to catch Pikachu, who in turn sends them "blasting off again!!"

    I actually thought that The Charge of Team Galactic episodes were better than some movies.

    *sigh* You're obviously an anime fan, aren't you? That's not a bad thing. but why does Ash ditch all of those decent Pokemon he spends so much time with at the end of nearly every season? To start over?
    Click to expand...

    He ditches them because he tries not to use the same ones over and over, besides Pikachu, to catch more and train them. Like he did with some pokémon I listed above.

    Okay but when he ditches them why does he get all these weak Pokemon then not train them?
