SM anime or Pokemon Adventures SM?

Curious considering with all the things that have happened recently as both storylines are going to wrap up soon. I think most of us can agree that our viewpoints from how both series started to where they are now have changed a lot. Also fellow Pokemon Adventure fans, remember that Pokemon fans take spoilers seriously for the manga.

The Sun and Moon adaptation in the manga, no question about it. I've only read about half of the story so far but it's clear that the manga's author actually knows how to develop a compelling story.

Anything that has Lillie in it is fine by me

This is one of the very few times where I'd choose the anime over pokespe tbh, I like pokespe's version, but Sun and Moon have a bit too much spotlight, with everyone else feeling somewhat shafted (especially Hau and Lillie), though that seems like it'll change in future chapters, I'm just judging off of what we have right now

Pokespecial every time.
Sun is a much better protagonist than SM Ash is

I haven't read the manga yet, but the honestly the SM Anime has really bad writing, so I automatically voted pokespe.

The Sun and Moon chapter of the Pokemon Special manga is superior in many ways, mostly in pacing and character development among other things. Reading a manga that has structure is better than watching an anime series that places too much emphasis on comedy.

I think the manga knows when to be serious and when to be funny.

Plus i think they did that tournament arc better than the anime's League.

Sun and Moon chapter for me too though I find it overall weak for Pokespe standards.

Hmm... the more I think about it... Gen 7 is pretty depressing isn't it lol? I'm talking about everything associated with Gen 7, games and adaptations included. Anyways, personally I think both could be better but despite my criticisms of the anime and Adventures manga, I like both. I like the SM anime's comedic bits regardless of the BS that's thrown at the audience and I like Adventures SM's well adventure lol and it's adaptation of Alola, a region just full of mysteries and heavy lore regardless of some of the minor locations that have been skipped. As of now, Adventures SM is my favorite of the SM adaptations. To be specific it's my 9th favorite story arc and so far my favorite story revolving around a legendary surpassing, in my opinion, Mewtwo Strikes Back. It might even rank higher depending on how it's wrapped up considering all the awesome stuff that's happening.
