I am wondering what makes this series darker than the normal anime?
@_silience2 жыл бұрын
@@JediBob Both the anime and games rely on the power of implications on dark events yet, even then, they're few in number. Meanwhile, the manga isn't afraid of literally showing you those dark events as early as the Lavander Town chapter- you literally see pokemon's corpses suffering to move and dying all over again. They also take themes of kidnapping (both pokemon and kids), abusing pokemon, terrorism, etc. more seriously, as well as making pokemon with dark pokedex entries actually act and do creepy stuff. It's still targeted for small kids so they make sure to not get too carried away though. Still a fun read since the characters are given more life than the games/anime. [mild spoiler] edit: I forgot, the best example IMO is Lillie's manga counterpart. In the game, she just mentioned Lusamine's a horrible mom. In the anime, Lillie has a completely different background who has a fairly close relationship with her mother. Meanwhile, in the manga, you literally see Lillie break down, cry, and faint from PTSD due to Lusamine's controlling and abusive behavior (which you see through flashbacks).

"Electric Pikachu Boogaloo" and "The Electric Tale of Pikachu" etc... what were those? Americanized versions of these?

I've heard conflicting info on the paper quality. Some say it's better than individual volumes and with a better image, but others say it's poorer quality and the pages are too see-through. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ To a newcomer like me, the collector's editions are appealing for cost (compared to box sets which are $80-$90 each), but I still prefer whichever is best quality. I've heard the spine can break easily on some omnibuses.

Lack of color also helps keep costs down. For example a 600 page manga omni (those 3in1 books) is like $15-$20 where as a 600 page omni from Marvel or DC is $100-$150.

They did it first with this Pokemon "collectors edition", and they are doing it again with the Rumiko Takahashi Mermaids Saga, they announced it in february as "gorgeous deluxe volumes" and yesterday they revealed the cover and is getting the same pokemon treatment! This is not collectors edition at all, it's so frustrating and underwhelming.
