    Does anyone else think that the Pokemon Special/Pokemon Adventures is SO original that it is TOO far from the original point of Pokemon? I mean, the originality is great 'n all, but still...

    • So you want clichéd storylines and predictable characters?

    ...


    Step this way to the first series of the anime, please.

    • I don't really care about "too much originality," especially in a time when we're sorely lacking in that department, as long as it's good. PokeSpecial is good; I remember reading the summaries of the manga when I was in 6th grade, and now that I've actually read it, they far surpassed my expectations.

    Actually, hasn't Satoshi Tajiri said that Special is closest to his original vision of the Pokémon world? So I don't really think that it's too far off. It's still about kids going out, catching monsters, and fighting villains. If it has a more complex storyline, then that just makes it better and more worthwhile to read than the generic "beat Gyms, beat villain team, beat Elite Four" storyline it would have if it was ripped straight from the games.

    • having unexepection in the manga makes much more fun as story line. They do follow some originalty but its boring to have origin for too much. Play pokemon game for 10 times its boring.
    so i do respect that author of manga put something unexpected.

    • I know what you're saying!
    I think the same for some things..

    I mean.. Pokemon Special is great! But the badges machine, the frozen characters, the fact that Emerald can know the birthplace of any pokemon just by a luck are way too 'original' as you say...

    Anyway, I think it's the best exponent of Pokemon with the RPG games...

    What badge in the slot machine? Where was that because I think I totally missed that...
    I loved the evil Elite Four! I can usually guess every plot twist of every story but that's one of the only things I did not see coming.

    • In the manga the original 8 kanto badges actually have magical powers. I find that awesome. And the ice thing was cool. Elite 4 being evil is awesome. Anyway it seems you read a little bit only. I find the mange more awesome cause a lot of things are explained in its own special way like say how the elite 4 of jhoto was made. I found that touching that koga and bruno changed sides as well as will and the other girl and made their own elite 4. So yeah im up for originality and it has what i want. Non generic pokemon stuff and something fans can truly appreciate. lets not forget pokeboobs and the hot spa scenes

    • Plus the plots are so well thought out. 'specially RuSa. I mean, it can't get more original than that!
    And the shippings are so cute and much more solid.
    And for all the girls out there, don't forget, Red takes off his shirt xD

    • What's so bad about originality? It's what makes stories so popular and be dedicated to be best works of art. What they do in the manga is quite clever and I love how they work with it.

    It was used at the Silph Takeover in RBG to fuse the legendary birds together, then used later in the Yellow saga (to take control of Lugia, I believe).

    As for the quote, didn't Tajiri say that at the first few chapters of RBG before it strayed away from the games to make its own story? Anyway, it doesn't really matter if Special strays away from the games, it's still entertaining to read. As what people said before, the ideas were quite clever and interesting.

    • I personally don't see why complain about originality. That's a first in my life.
