dont you think team aqua/magma were handled really poorly in the anime?

Yes, it was just sloppy. Hopefully they don't make the same mistake with Galaxy.

Btw..... A semi smart thread? I never thought I see the day.
 
The anime in whole has been handeled pretty awfully in terms of story arcs past Indigo/Orange.

The Johto League - wasted
The Hoenn League - wasted

I dunno everything seems so rushed and charmless now...I hope D/P is working on this as I've seen nothing from it yet.

I mean the last time I truly enjoyed watching the anime was Lucario and the Mystery of Mew. The last epsiode I remember that was truly awesome was Do I her a Ralts? and Sweet Baby James.
 
Not saying they were but things seemed more important and there was a ton more character building.
 
yeah, I mean team aqua's and team magma's leaders could atleast been alittle more nature crazed like their game counterparts. no instead team magma had to be goddy two shoes while team aqua was the real threat instead of both teams. I hope team galaxy is as bad as team rocket and as more evil than teams aqua and magma
 
Not really.....I thought the Gyms were handled badly, and the Pokemon were extremely shallow and dull.

The Gyms were awesome all Gym Leaders pretty much had a character and something rememberable about them - I mean really who could forget Blane, Sabrina, and Erika...

(oh btw your sig rocks and is the truth)

Funnnngaaaaa
The Gym Battles themselves were horribly lacking though, we only got like two real battles (Blaine and Lt. Surge).

I personally thought Battle Frontier beat Kanto. That ties with Orange Islands. Shinou seems to be mixing the best of Kanto and Hoenn, and hopefully will have Johto's habit of game scenarios and bringing back old characters.

Join me in the boycott! I threw away my Pearl version because I realized it sucked...badly. Especially when I saw the horrid Dosaidon.

I'd take character and depth over battles anyday as we see battles in EVERY SINGLE SHOW give me a bit sometihng more when it comes to the gym leaders that make it memorable.

If you say that Johto and Hoenn leagues > Indigo's you def have your prorities mixed up.

They have some development at certain points. The GLs have character (Some, anyway. Whitney and Blaine for example). I feel the Coordinators have more character than the GLs.

Also I think BF is better than Hoenn and Johto

Oh, and by the way. Nosestache>>>>>>you

...Now you're just trying to be funny...and its showing. Please Stop.

Team Magma and Team Aqua where handled badly because the writers where rushing to get to the Hoenn leauge and Grand Festival so they couldnt do much with TM and TA.
At least that is my theory...

Thank you, SPPf! :)
Indigo League in a nutshell:
Round 1: One Pokemon takes down all three of the opponent's.
Round 2: We only saw the final minute of it. The hell?
Round 3: Only the second half of the battle shown. Again, the hell?
Round 4: Good battle. Probably the only one in the entire league.
Round 5: CHARI...Zzzzz.....

And yet, for some reason, people consider THIS the best league. Astounding.

I've seen a few people say "league" when they're actually referring to the saga as a whole, though. But league specifically? I mean, I'm not saying the Johto and Hoenn leagues were not flawed (both were awfully rushed toward the end), but at least we got the whole battles.
great thread. outstanding. yea i think they were handled really poorly.
You're agreeing with yourself because nobody else will actually support you?
