What is your fave Pokemon media?

Pokemon comes in different media - there's the games, the anime and the manga. We always tend to follow one of the more than the others but that's where I ask. What is your fave media of the Pokemon franchise?

The games, certainly. It's the first pokemon media I saw and really the only part I'm interested in, plus it's really easy to play the classics via emulators, while getting the old anime/manga seems more difficult.

I voted for the games, because while I got into Pokemon by watching the anime, it was actually the games that I've stuck with mostly. I was 11 when I got my own Pokemon game for the first time, and seeing all the generational advancements over time was notably significant when compared to other media.

whenever my pokemon love wanes the anime always brings me back into it (:

The games, i've been playing since the very start and though there was probably a 4 year period I went without playing them (puberty is weird lol) I got stuck back on them in high school and never looked back, I remember watching the anime a lot when I was younger, but after the Indigo League It never really did catch my attention again, it's much too repetitive imo

Is the TCG a form of Pokemon media? Because it was definitely my favorite part of the franchise back in the day.

Right now, I have to go with the games as my favorite Pokemon media. I never really got into the manga, and haven't watched the anime since the early Hoenn days (save for the first 20ish episodes of BW), but I always try and get the games the same day they come out, even if I don't dive into them right away.

Generally, it's the games. Though, with XY&Z I really prefered the anime.

It's also fair to say that the anime can sometimes get to play the games (or replay, actually) more sometimes. Credit where credit is due.

I can sometimes agree with your point, since with BW I hated the anime but loved the games, and while I didn't find the XY games bad I generally liked the anime of that saga better. SM seems to be shaping up as another generation where I prefer the games over the anime, but I guess it's because I hate Ash's redesign.

Definitely the games. I've never read the manga and the anime can only hold my interest for so long. I will give the new Sun & Moon anime series a try, but the games are mainly what have kept me interested in Pokémon.

Same, this thread actually asks a tough question, because it depends on the series for me, haha.

I'm feeling a bit the same about the Sun/Moon anime, but I might check it out anyhoo. Hopefully it surprises me, but I still think I'll prefer the game.

While I'm here, I will also say that years ago I loved the RSE manga. o: That was badass.
