Skipped Characters and the Fans Who Still Love Them

[The Incarnation ポケモン]

Or, alternately titled: "The BIGGEST reason why the anime can really suck sometimes".

I shall whine about the skipping over of my beloved Mikuri-sama. If you're on at PC, ya might have seen this already:

Now, if you've played Ru/Sa/Em, you *know* how incredibly important Wallace is to the game's plot, and the anime usually does not omit characters that are *that* significant in the game. I know, I know, Lance did the whole Groudon/Kyogre thing (stay in your OWN region and mind you OWN business, demmit! XD), but still, thus far the anime has never omitted the appearance of a Champion (although poor Steven only got one episode in which he did...not much...TT_TT), and since the anime is clearly going by the Emerald storyline, Wallace is the Hoenn Champion, so he kinda ought to show up, no? Unless the anime people are planning to have him do a Lance thing and show up in the D/P series, but even with Lance, they first had him show up in Johto first.

Wallace is involved with a crucial sequence of the save-the-world portion of the R/S/E storyline. In Emerald (anime's Emerald-based) you actually have to go into the CoO to find him and talk to him, and after he asks you a question (one of the few non-survey, non-interview questions in which you get to say more than "yes" or "no"), he hauls off to the Sky Pillar where he talks to you again, tells you to go get Rayquaza, then goes off again. And he's the one who tells you something about finding Steven after you beat him and the E4. Wallace is not merely another character for you to battle. And heck, Drake even got an episode. So Wallace definitely should.


*waits for people to proclaim the indignity of skipping Will, Karen, Sidney, Phoebe, etc.* Come on folks, RAISE YOUR VOICE IN PROTEST!

Janine never even got MENTIONED. Aya showed up in Johto--you'd think she could have said SOMETHING!

WALLY dammit! Why wasn't Wally in the League? He's wildly popular (although granted, most of that is slashability with Ruby, but my point remains), and let's face it, seeing him pass out every few attacks would have been funny.

*coughs*AndthisisanotherreasonwhyPokeSpecialPWNZtheanime*cough*

Really, ya think with all the random one-shots they have to make up, they could at least make their own job easier by using a character already made for 'em.

 

[Blackjack Gabbiani]

Wally would have probably been more interesting than ol' Josh, that's for sure.

 

[MondoTR]

You didn't say they had to come from the games so I'm going to say I want Mondo in the anime.

 

[Blackjack Gabbiani]

MONDO! He needs to be in! Even just a flashback!

 

[MondoTR]

A long flashback. ;-)

 

[Jolllly]

You knew this was coming.

WILL PLEASE. WILL PLEEEEEEASE. AGGHRHjmghfdhb.

Though he DOES still have potential to be in this new....Kanto thing they're doing, but I really don't think they'll put him in. Cause writers have a tendancy to SUCK at these matters.

*protests by hitting the side of the writer's houses with raw chicken* WILL PLEASE.

 

[Crimson Flames]

Karen needs to show up ;_; Especially 'cause dark type Pokémon need more attention and also Karen's awesome and my all time favorite Elite Four member. And don't even get me started on Phoebe and her grandparents =P

 

[Alfonso]

Jesus f*cking Christ.

JANINE. I mean, seriously. Why couldn't she have been tagging along with Aya back in Johto? >_> She's seriously one of the coolest G/S/C Gym Leaders, and the coolest Kanto Leader by far. And... x_____x She's so hot. :0 She can use her ninja (Read: Hot sex) skills on me any day. ;o;

 

[Jolllly]

Will has better....ninja skills...than Janine! >0 Blasphemer! HOW DARE YOU THINK MY LITTLE BROTHER IS LESS THA- *knocks Chibi Eusine out of her skull* @___@ It's a disease.

Though I do agree Janine = best Kanto GL. Ever. XD Unless you count Surge. But even then, Surge is her ADOPTIVE MOTHER. Cause yanno, he's with Koga. *shot*

 

[MondoTR]

Bugsy, your posts are always great. XD

I'm not entirely too sure why Wallace was skipped. One could play the flamboyancy card, but at this point, after all the flamboyancy in the anime, even Tucker would seem normal. Perhaps they felt Juan was a more interesting character. Was Wallace even mentioned in those eps?

Sadly, no. ;o;

 

[Habunake]

It seems they favored Harley over Wallace in the fabulous department.

But, since Agatha appeared. Who knows? Maybe Steven ,Wallace, Wally, Janine, Will, Karen, Phoebe, Glacia, or Sidney will make a surprise appearance.

I'm upset Miror B didn't just make a random appearance...-_-

Personally, I think it's best not to jump to conclusions on the subject of characters being skipped, after this whole Agatha thing.

[Misty]

That's really strange, because the whole point of Juan was that he was Wallace's teacher.

 

[cold_katanagirl]

Wally. Those b*stard writers skipped Wally. Wally was so awesome. HE HAD THE RALTS OF JUSTICE.

Yeah, I just wanted Wally. I wonder why Wallace wasn't even mentioned either. Same with Will and Karen. Janine would have been really cool too, she had lots of potential.

I can't believe they weren't even mentioned. I don't really care about Agatha so...

Leaf Green girl. DAMN IS SHE HOT! :x

She could have actually been in Keade's place in the league, they look roughly the same.

Cybercubed, is that you? Join, dammit. XD
