Anime > Games
The games are limited by what mechanics they program, the maps they can fit in the cartridge, and npca having the same few lines of dialogue fpr eternity. The anime characters have a variety of expressions and fully voiced lines and writers and animators can show anything they can think of, a cozy village with 40 people, a sprawling metropolis, a dense forrest, an active volcano, epic battles won with strategic use of the environment, quick casual matches, everyone having a chat over a meal, or having a grand adventure. Nothing short of transitioning to one big mmo on pc with seasonal updates and yearly expansions is going to result in a single game with enough content to feel as vast and alive as a season of the anime, the real Pokemon experience.
