my rants about my favorite series
you know, there's certain things that I hate about my favorite series and that's what I don't like about Digimon(particularly first 2 seasons and it's sequels, if these are sets in Adventure continuity) and Pokemon anime(before this retires Ash and Pikachu)
if any other universes has things I don't like about them, it aren't as much as my pet peeve about these universes and here's what I don't like about these Digimon and Pokemon installments:
- let's start with the first: Arukenimon and Mummymon being Digimon equivalent of Jessie, James, and Meowth wasn't only thing have in common between Digimon adventure 02 and modern pokemon anime(before this retires Ash and Pikachu), the rest of Original Digidestined that aren't Takeru or Hikari are like Ash's friends(in terms of being those that demoted to extra)
- Takeru and Hikari in 02(and it's sequels) are closest thing any other fictional characters treated like Ash Ketchum in modern anime of Pokemon, down to their portrayals as Anti-sues
- don't get started with both series worldbuilding(at least when Digimon are sets in adventure continuity and Pokemon are original anime): both limit the species of superpowered beings to their titular creatures, leaving Humans confined into weak and useless characters. granted other Digimon seasons doesn't make all Superpowered Beings there are Digimons(mostly from having Digitals, occasionally from giving humans superpowers). people also forget that Hikari have psychic powers(this was the reason 1st season of Digimon make her 6th ranger, same with Digimon tamers make Matrix DIgivolution only available on last story arcs, but this wasn't much of problem like what I ranted here. this was to make superpowered kids in mons series tolerable. but Digimon 2 make her one of main characters did nerfs her bit too far. same deal with Ash kept reused to have his Aura powers forgotten by everyone)
- I can't think about any other animesque medium that got similar treatment to Digimon adventure sequels and original anime of Pokemon(when this shoehorns Ash and Team Rocket trio for protagonists and antagonists respectively), not even other mons series got these treatments: even Yugioh does give any of the kids Superpowers(this allows some people uses Yugioh(or/and any mon anime outside Digimon or Pokemon) as Pokemon and Digimon substitute in crossovers with stuff like Kingdom Hearts and Teen Titans(2003 cartoon), notably mega-crossovers) occasionally at least. and other anime(sque) that got the same treatments with Digimon(mostly adventure sequels) and (current) Pokemon anime tend to be nothing but a mundane slice of life ones
- even when Yugioh humans with Superpowers are no more of a Metahuman than Batman or Ironman-type characters(in terms of having no innate Superpowers), albeit with magical weapons. it's tvtropes' fault to treats anyone (including even non-powered characters) with esoteric equipment as metahumans
- granted, one of the reason Digimon anime uses different universes for different seasons was: to (actively) have any Superpowered Beings that aren't titular mons without having these superpowered characters got branded "mary sues"
- and many more
granted, those was one of the reasons fanfics like Ani-toonspiracy exists
even when I can't like or Hate Pokemon Horizons where Pokemon anime did change it's protagonists just as much as Digimon seasons 3+ and other mons series
also, I once forgets that Takeru and Hikari being only Original Digidestined that's part of 02 team can still works without both getting sidelined and nerfed into Anti sues
