    This why I :100-com: percent prefer the anime over this. There no one really dies and somewhat safer. I'd be horrified if any creature with was even slightly hurt let alone this.

      The anime is weird too, people use guns and shit sometimes lol. iirc the original Japanese text of the gameboy games showed that the world was supposed to be like modern day (1998) Japan in an alternate universe of sorts.

        Isn't there also a banned episode where James grows large breasts lol

        The early episodes used a lot of obnoxious flashing colours, most infamous of which was the Porygon(?) episode.

        Guns only appeared in the Indigo League story arc. After that, the only firearms that appeared were bazookas and hit that shot nets which Team Rocket would use to steal Pokemon.

        So the weird vibe of the anime was from multiple writers trying something I think. I think as the writers got more of an understanding of the world things started making more sense. Still remember one episode was Yojimbo but gym fights.
