Now as we have all played the games, we come across many different plots or side quests that make the games interesting. Such as from RBY, like explorng the Team Rocket underground base or saving the Silph Co. from Giovanni. I would have liked to see that incorporated in the Anime, however, you may think it really didn't need to be.

So, are there any sidequests or happenings in the games that you would have liked to see in the Anime?
 
The Emerald Groudon/Kyogre saga. That is all.

Okay, that's not all - come to think of it, I also would have liked to see at least some mention of the Silph Company in the Yamabuki City episodes. Perhaps not a direct adaptation of the game's storyline, but some kind of feature episode at the very least. You could argue that the building with the warp tile that Satoshi-tachi got trapped in was the Silph building, but that barely even scratches the surface of the company's role in the games.

And even though it was covered briefly in the anime, I think a better handling of Mt. Suribachi would have been nice. Especially when it came to Karate King Nobuhiko - the anime could have depicted him as this powerful Fighting master whom few can defeat, but instead, he just wants to win against a Baruki. Woo-hoo...
 
Ash meeting up with Flint in the Sunyshore City(8th gym). It would be awesome if Ash would finally battle an E4 in Sinnohh though we didn't battle Flint in the games. I would like to see Fire VS Grotle. Ground>Fire and Fire>Grass. Interesting. XD It would also be a good lesson for Ash to utilize its Ground type part.
 
Would have loved to see Mt. Pyre in the anime, I have no idea why they excluded it.

If Lucian didn't battle Ash because he has not yet met the qualifications, what makes you think Flint will?

I would still like to see him in action though, although a battle with Ash would be out of the question.
 
Yeah, they excluded so much when it came to Aqua and Magma. They seriously dropped the ball there.

Similarly, Team Rocket's presence in Kanto was all over the place in the games, but they barely appeared in Kanto in the anime at all (aside from JJM, of course). I'm a bit more willing to forgive the first go-around since the writers clearly had no idea what in the world they were doing back then, but we really needed to have more than one "hardcore Team Rocket operation" episode in Kanto Battle Frontier. And the one we did get was pretty bad anyway.

Also wated to see Gabby and Ty be recurring characters in Hoenn. And Ash really needed a rival then, why didn't they use Wally? Ash having a wimpy rival could have been interesting, although maybe they should have had a more competent, antagonistic rival as well to be a counterpart (Brendan?).

Speaking of which, does anyone else want to see him again? I liked him.

Really? I thought the ep where Jessie and James switch teams with Butch/Cassidy was a great episode. Not only was it an enjoyable Butch/Cassidy episode, but there were some great battles in that ep with Corphish beating a Marowak and then a Pinsir in two separate battles. I'm surprised you didn't like the ep.

I always thought the writers figured Ash had just come off of his triumphant victory over Gary in Johto, so it was too soon to give him another rival.

If anything though, I would have loved to see Morrisson as Ash's full rival that saga, and introduced a lot earlier.
 
I would have loved to see the red-haired rival in the Johto seasons, which is a game event they skipped over.

I guess the writers figured he was too "mean" to be in Pokemon at the time, since Johto had to be all cutesy and childish with unevolving Pokemon and good friends. It took them all the way until DP to bring in a trainer like that with Paul.

Instead we got Casey, the baseball girl! We got to watch her talk about baseball! How fun was that?!
 
I wanna see a dogsled, pulled by a bunch of arcanine, when they go to Snowpoint.
 
I want to actually see how and when they're going to incorporate the rest of the Galatic plot with the Spear pillar and everything. Starting to get a bit worried lol.

I wanted to see it too, preferrably as part of the aforementioned Groudon/Kyogre arc. I imagine it would have been the site of an Aqua/Magma battle royale as the two teams try to stop each other from getting to the orbs, with Satoshi and the others trying to keep either of them from getting anything. It could have been awesome if they'd put the effort into it.
 
Rock Tunnel that requires Flash and the TR agent that blocks your way and robs the house in Cerulean City with the Drowzee. And the Cubone/dead Marowak mother subplot.

Mostly gen 1 stuff.
 
Ash and the rest of his crew talking to the Galactic grunt who drops the key, and then raiding the base. We should see Cyrus a lot more.
