>VS Charizard I
>VS Charizard II
I'd just go with chapters 323/324. Pokespe chapter titles are fucking awful when they keep recycling the same Pokemon names, even before the localization retardation with Viz especially making up shitty pun titles out of nowhere. For me the final nail in the coffin was Bulbapedo changing every single chapter hyperlink text to the Viz titles, making the wiki nearly unusable for manga related stuff.

>Dia and Pearl's manzai gag
The DP manzai was almost ruined by turning too serious, and made a lot of western fans hate Pearl. Though with how many of DP's jokes would never be able to be translated anyway it could just be something else that gets lost on international audiences. Meanwhile Emerald's comic routine with the Frontier Brains and Ruby/Sapphire seemed comparatively harmless because in the end Emerald isn't particularly close to any of them, they're all acquaintances at best so any slapstick or insults don't come off as too personal. Emerald interacting with groups of people, instead of people one on one, also made the manzai more impersonal and easier to take at face value.

Among those characters in the Emerald arc I think Sapphire in particular was trying to be closer friends with Emerald, but he kept her at arm's length. Emerald actually had more in common with Ruby and they both kind of knew it, but between Ruby's poor social skills/not caring as much and Emerald's resentment nothing really happened.

>Drew clone with an androgynous voice
>Ruby's voice never breaking even by age 15
I don't believe this, at least Haberkorn's DtK could sort of believably be the voice of an anime guy between ages 13-20. Not to mention Norman's started balding around his 30s-40s so Ruby better prepare himself for the reality of ageing.
