    I can't believe they still run it and it doesn't even refer to how pokemon is played in the game. Iv'e only heard them talking about levels one time on the episode with the school in the fog. Even the types dont apply.

    Of course it would be boring but they could of just done a couple of tweaks instead of turning it upside down.

    Haha we'd get to see Silph Co. and Mewtwo in the Unknown Dungeon among many other things. And you'd be the Champion of the Pokemon League in 4 regions haha. And you'd have like every legendary Pokemon (I don't catch the legendaries in the games) there is.

    You are completely right. Well put.

    Nobody (Unless you're weird... no offense...) would prefer the anime being based on the games or vice-versa. Plot twists on both make all the difference.

    A couple of more deeper character driven plots maybe.
    A bit faster releasing the episodes, perhaps.
    The main characters could do with a change of attire once in a while.

    Apart from that, not much.

    Pokemon does have SOME character development. I just wish the characters would age visibly. I guess they keep them looking the same age so that younger kids who watch the show can identify them. I just sucks watching "the gang" travel through 4 regions and everyone still looks the same.

    The reason game mechanics aren't discussed at length in the show is the anime tries to do training in a more "realistic" sense, and to keep it from being too convulted, only refer to game mechanics in the vaguest ways possible. It also lets them differentiate because of this. In the games, Pokemon will not evolve during a battle, but they do in the anime.

    - Levels don't work in the anime. Why would an animal suddenly go up in stats by getting 10,000 more exp or whatever? It would continually grow stronger slowly.
    - Types usually do apply. I can't remember in DP anywhere where they have made something something effective where it wouldn't be usually. In the gym against Wake, Ash said he shouldn't use Pikachu against Quagsire because electricity doesn't work on it and used Turtwig instead. I think there's an example that they do consider types

    Makes you wonder why you bothered coming into the anime section at all then.

    Another day, another "bawww I know better than the writers of an anime that's run for nearly twelve years" thread. Can this forum really come up with nothing better than this?

    (Quick_Kid's 'favourite Sinnoh episode' thread notwithstanding.)

    I think the show tries to put a more realistic feel to the game which is basically what randomspot said. The pokemon act a bit more like animals instead of just completely obenient creatures and since Johto they have started to develope more indepth character.

    Clearly the anime would be a bit nicer if it involved a bit more from the games like Silph Co. but we can't win all the time. Teeheehee

    Still most of the battle things as in types and other basics are applied.

    Of course it would be a bit boring but I'm just saying they should keep it how it should be a little more because I don't think a pre evolved pokemon could take down a fully evolved one.
