Does anybody find the Pokemon manga to be too dark?
Hi, it's been years since I last posted here, and I sorta want to atone for the nonsense that I did over the years (anything I said about DP Adventures and the manga before this I wish the admins could delete because I don't ever want to look at it again).
Personally, today, I'm not a real fan of the Pokemon Adventures manga. I don't know what it is, but I just think the series is too dark to enjoy. The anime has plenty of things to be turned off by, but I kinda like the overal element they provide, even if they are retelling the same story over the years of Ash trying to be League Champion and starting from scratch.
The concept of exploring the darker side of the Pokemon world is fascinating, but every time I read the synposis of the stories and what happens just makes me not want to appreciate it because when it gets dark, it gets dark, like murder, brainwashing, and even bloodshed. I mean, a Pokemon manga based entirely like the anime would be pretty boring, but I kinda want to see that.
I'm going to expect some people commenting that I'm likely a wuss and shouldn't be reading stuff I don't like, but I did want to explore my options once upon a time, only now I feel like I've come full circle. So, this is instead a thread where anybody who wants to comment on their feelings can mention so here. I didn't post this in the manga section because I didn't know if it's appropriate.
