Do you wish that the Anime should be more based off the games?

Do you wish that the Anime was more based off the games(ex: Red or Ninten instead of Ash, Bulbasaur as a starter instead of a Pikachu, Brock and Misty won't travel, ACTUALLY capturing a legendary Pokemon) With plot twists. And every region, it switches to the male character of their respective region(Johto, Sinnoh) And YES. they speak. Here are some things that will change from the game: (Red will have his Pokemon from the E4 instead of his GSCHGSS team, no Game Corner, instead Voltorb Flip, which Red would try, and get frustrated.) What do you think of this?

Nope. Because then you'd be watching a silent character listen to the same words over and over, watch the same cutscene over and over, and he would just do the same things over and over. You'd be watching a let's play from a different angle.
 
Re: Do you wish that the Anime

The main character would speak, and there would be some stuff that is different from the games. Maybe several. But it's not a let's play, I just really HATE the current anime. I have a feeling that later, it's time for Ash to go. I mean get kicked off the show with Pikachu. With another main character that knows what he's doing, choosing Bulbasaur.

Ninten? Er, I think you have the wrong game. Mother 1 is over thataway...

Bulbasaur as a starter instead of a Pikachu,

Technically, him having Pikachu is actually part of the games.

Brock and Misty won't travel, ACTUALLY capturing a legendary Pokemon)

Even if it is based off of the games, all captures are optional (there are exceptions) and therefore, you don't have to capture legends.

Brock and Misty not traveling is fine by me...

Why just the males?

What do you mean, E4? You never fight Red as the champion.

Also, the Japanese versions of HGSS do not have Voltorb Flip, so I doubt they'd use that...
 
Re: Do you wish that the Anime

I mean Ninten as the RBYGFRLG's PLAYER CHARCTER NAME. Back around RB, the original name before Red and Blue was Ninten and Sony. Ninten as the protagonist, Sony as GMFO. Then it became Red and Blue. But I WAS NOT MAKING ONE QUICK reference to Mother. As I said, Red was once known as Ninten. Same person as Red, only different name. Look this up in Bulbapedia or something like that.

Red was the Champion, but gave it to Lance before the events of GSCHGSS. To train at Mt. Silver. So I made a small mistake.

I am getting tired of females EVERY SINGLE GENERATION. I think it was okay.... Until Dawn or Iris. Unless you think that's fine, but it's your opinion.

I know Pikachu is the mascot, but the player character will might use Pikachu. But like in RGBFRLG, not as a starter. but caught in Viridian Forest. Or someplace near that. Like in the manga.

In the Japanese one, it will be slots. TPCi would edit that with Voltorb Flip to prevent gambling.

(TO EITAROU) (I sometimes hate these iPads....)

Gee, that's not sexist at all, is it?

If you want a revolving-door cast that changes with each game, and explores more of the game detail, go read Pokemon Special or something. Although it makes full use of all the characters, including several arcs headlined by girls, so you probably wouldn't like it at all.
 
Ninten was a generic name that Game Freak used. They never said the name in game in Pokemon, but I think it appeared somewhere, like in a guide/walkthrough or something.

Honestly.... I think I prefer the anime how it is. There are a few things I wished they kept from the games, but I think it's more interesting to have a more original story.
 
No.
Travelling to a different town in less than 6 minutes by walking? What.
Being able to fly even though your Pokemon has fainted? Again, what.

And, I like the aspects in the Anime that differ from the games. It makes the anime more of its own.
 
The only aspect of the anime that I want to be more based off the games is the battles so I can stop feeling like kicking something every time I see a cheap win.
 
I think the anime is fine the way it is. It really expands on the games and makes it feel like the Pokemon world is a more realistic place. If they followed the plot of the video games a little more, then it'd be perfect.
 
Some of the things you listed (such as no traveling partners and Pikachu isn't the starter) I don't want.

But I do wish that they kept more game storyline parts in the anime. For example, the Marowak ghost in Pokemon tower, the Rocket radio tower takeover, etc.
 
I wish they'd incorporate more of the characters from the games into the anime but that's about it. I think it's good that they're treated as separate mediums of entertainment.
 
No, I don't wish for the anime to be anything like the games, it is fine just the way it is. The anime's realistic portrayal of the pokemon and the pokemon world in general is what seperates it from the games and makes it very interesting. The anime, in a way, helps the games become more appealing by the way it treats the pokemon more than just data-type creatures with limited abilities what can be stuffed in a PC and left to rot.
 
Yes and no.

I don't want people to be aware of levels but I would like levels and move powers to be follow more. Example Trip not having a Lampent that evolved at what 41. Example 2 water gun and flamethrower being equal and seen at the same time. Though I don't see why Pikachu is so cute it is not causing that much harm. I do think Ash should get replaced but a new guy every region makes no sense to me. I like how the league works in the anime in the games wants the point of E4 existing if they don't get money from Pokemon league fans. What the anime really needs is a focus on battling. If there must be filler make it about Pokemon battles. If multiple Pokemon must be shown have a trainer own it and fight don't make an entire episode about that Pokemon. I like the idea of a group but they should make all group members trainers (trust me there are ways to get around 3-5 gym battles every gym getting boring).
 
I think the anime is restricted to the plot of the games as it is. No reason to make it an exact replica.

Ninten was clearly from Mother 1. Some of the people that worked on Mother series work on Pokemon franchise now.Also,the resemblense between Gyagas ( Mother 1 version,not that red wirl that gives me creeps.Damn,I love that thing ) and Mewtwo? Considence? Not really

I know it was used in Mother 1, but it was also used in RBY.

I do wish that the anime used a few more mechanics from the game, such as priority attacks and moves that don't miss like Swift.

Well, they could have mini-series' with a different character and no Ash, like they did with Ethan from HGSS. His anime name was Jimmy.
