huh? well, I will assume you meant game instead instead of show, seeing as how the anime IS the show...lol...but I would like to the see them make the pokemon ringer contest, pokemon summer school w/ all the activites, and the ANIME versian of contests to be put into the future DS games or so. I think it would be a really fun addition.
They should consider it for 5th gen.
There was the Whirl Cup which Misty participated in, and there were Breeding Contests either mentioned or shown during Johto and Kanto, which basically resemble what became actual Contests in Hoenn and Sinnoh.
I've heard rumors that the Platinum are a little more like the show. I've even heard that they have appeal battles. It's interesting because in the appeal battles, a lvl 1 Rattata could one shot a lvl 100 Rayquaza. It's all based on appeal and not power. It's like the points system in the anime.
May I ask where you got that information from? I heard nothing bout that...so I'm curious.
Oh yeah, and in a way, the leagues themselves. To become champion in the games, you only have to beat the E4 and the champion, in the anime you have to battle lots of trainers in the competition and you can only battle the E4 and the champion (and then become the champion) by beating that league after winning the badged first. Which must be much harder. Although, I wonder what would've happened if Paul beaten Cynthia in that battle. It may be that you can only officially become champion after defeating everyone at the league, then the E4 then the champion.
