Differences In Pokémon Protagonists From Games To Manga! 

I actually love Rosa, or Whitley, being a team plasma member because it enforces the understanding that not all members of team plasma are bad people

Kris in the manga also temporarily lost the use of her arms, so she learned how to kick pokeballs. She eventually got use of her arms again, but she’s far more used to kicking, and I think that’s so cool

Nate- Known for resonating with others Lack-two/Blake- Known for being a sociopath

The Adventures Manga just takes the already existing elements in the given Game/Gen and add the aspects of their own personalities and bonding between each dex holders to make it a Masterpiece

I like how Sword raises Pokémon that use tools, like Sirfetch'd, so he makes it his job to learn how to care for creating, repairing, and maintaining the items that his teams use.

I think that X in manga has 5 mega evolved Pokemon simultaneously is a notable example to point out as in the games, the player character can only mega-evolve one Pokemon at a time.

Their similarities AND differences is one of the reasons why I dream the IMPOSSIBLE dream of A PokeMultiverse Tournament with Trainers from Pokemon games, anime, & manga 🥰

One of the things I love about the manga is, that almost all Pokedex holders are somewhat eccentric. It makes them feel different to another and allows interesting dynamics, while staying true to their stories.

Manga is the most definitive and best canon.

8:05 Well, that is quite in-character for how the internet views Gloria when applying that Scottish accent meme to her.

Basically most Game protagonists are one dimensional, with generic i like Pokémon personalities, while the manga gives them each their own unique personality, motivation and backstories. Its why i love the manga the most!

I would love to see a video just like this on champions /villains.

So basically… Manga Personality: Comedian, Like to gamble, introvert, shout a lot, dislike fighting, deconstruct gender role, an otaku, love money, Game personality: just a good pokemon trainer Also this personality seems to be only from Master timeline, in Evolution and even Generation, Lucas, May, and Calem is the MC not the assistant or rival

"He's just Nate" NOT THE INSTAGRAM POST 😭😭😭

Took me a while that B2W2 and SwSh protagonists got thier names localized in the US, I normally read the fan translations.

i think the difference in teams actually does make a bit of a difference if im being quite honest. Like for Barry for instance, Since i watched the anime before the even know ab the manga Empoleon just makes the most sense for me but Because of Pearl's personality and his teams focusing on the "speed stat" Infernape fit him pretty well, But in ever other iteration of barry you se him with piplup until Pokemon Diamond and Pearl adventure, where Jun has a Turtwig. I kinda wished that PMAS gave the protag trainers like an ACTUAL thing to do as well, Like if Gloria takes on the gym challenge then Victor makes famous curry or something like that lol

5:50 "He's just Nate." you heard him, Nate is Nate. 👍

5:48 "...And Nate is just Nate, nothing special" gotta love the Pokémon masters meme

You can also interpret Rosa and her family in Pokemon Black 2 and White 2 making an attempt at a fresh start to life after leaving Team Plasma and thus her journey and extroverted personality. That was until Hugh unveiled his goals and seeing a more fanatic Team Plasma making a comeback was when she was more than willing to support Hugh in his mission. Though most of the grunts don't recognize her, her past had in a sense came back for her. Adding the first game's save data into the sequel game adds to that I think. While continuing with her journey, Rosa was slowly forming her own beliefs and ideals to live with. You can also say she left her Foongus at home to look after her mom.

I really like this video! I’ve watched lots of videos about the same subject but this was fast and informative, great job!

Love this channel it's what introduced me to the manga

For a good chunk of the manga counterparts their biggest differences come down to neurodivergent traits? Like Black and Ruby are EXTREMELY hyperfixative, Casey has no concept of volume (which is a textbook trait) and the actual climax of Diamonds characters arc is him telling Cyrus about his neurodivergent traits. I swear I cant be the only one who sees this.

I kinda wish they made Manga Gloria easy to anger just to give a nod at the scottish meme

Credit to @Arjun-ct5sq for the idea of this video!

Ruby gets Sapphire Black gets White Xavier gets Yvonne And what does Sun get? *PAID*

And Y still manages to be more faithful to her source material counterpart than her AniPoké counterpart is.

Congrats on the 7K

since the swsh manga just finished will you do the explanation for Henry/Soudo and Casey/Schilly?

I find Whitney's backstory is interesting!

Good video !

I started reading the manga not that long ago and manga Red i didnt like at first but he grew on me as time went on. I havent read ruby/sapphire or black/white yet but i cant wait to read those as they seem good

The part I always liked about the Black 2 white 2 arc is how it firmly establishes a Team Plasma civil war. Those that side with N and are genuinely invested in pokemon freedom retain their original outfits and become Team Plasma White (which is the side that Whitley belongs to), whilst those that side with Ghetsis, and are more interested the conquest (thus gets filled with those who would have been stealing pokemon) become Team Plasma Black, and change their uniform to the ninja inspire ones. Both sides remain wanted by the international police, but they do come to an understanding with the White faction as they seem to be genuinely apologetic.

We really need an anime adaptation for these manga.

Sun reminds me of Mr Krabs ngl

I mean the reality that they had to be people instead of avatars meant that yeah. Some dramatic changes needed

Rosa I believe would make for an extremely interesting character to focus a story on. Her integration into Team Plasma, her duties and such, and what convinced her to leave after Team Plasma’s defeat despite some members sticking to the goals (Colres I’m lookin at you!) it would be really interesting to just focus on her and see her grow. It’s not often you see Team members just leave and hide. And yes, I’ll always know her as Rosa, I only ever played the games and watched the anime/movies… which reminds me… wasn’t that Chris girl named Lyra in the anime?

All very true characters in the Pokémon adventures manga even with the video game counterparts are different and similar!❤😊😊

I love that Y is a sky trainer aviation is 1 the things I'm most interested in

the contrast between RGB (Adventures) is so fun vs their normal counterparts

Brendan and May in Pokemon Masters are what Ruby and Sapphire would have been, if a certain event in their childhood didn't happen. Ruby believing he scared innocent bystanders, lost all motivation and excitement for battles and chose to become a Coordinator. Sapphire seeing herself in a pinch situation and being rescued by someone around her age, but was wounded, vowed herself to get stronger, becoming independant, so no one would get hurt because of her. That decision led her to become a feral child by choice.

You forgot to add Lyra from HeartGold and SoulSilver in Crystal's differences since the mangaka had these two merged when HeartGold and SoulSilver arc was made while Kris and Lyra were technically completely different characters.

1:07 just realising that red and blue have swapped personalities compared to their game counterparts. Red in the games is mostly silent and stoic, blue in the manga is stoic. Blue in the games is cocky and obnoxious, red in the manga is cocky, and little obnoxious.

3:01 it’s too easy. “It’s no use!”😂😂😂

Green Green Leaf G r a s s !

7:24 He's actually trying to save some money in order to stop Lusamine and her Aether Foundation of buying his grandfather's island, yet he failed to do so.

Ruby also wears a hat to conceal the scar he got from a Salamence attack

Full support always sir

I'm gonna be honest, I don't know a single thing about canon Gloria as a character. The Internet has corrupted me and all I know about her is Scottish Gloria meme, and to be honest it has become my default personality for her and I love her like that. There's just something satisfying about seeing a cute and innocent looking girl suddenly going off on you in a Scottish accent and a potty mouth. It's just funny to me.

Can you make a video on L's team

Can I hear you make a video about Origins red compared to manga red. I never liked manga red back then because he looks like Tyson from Beyblade, and Origins red took some time to get used to as well because of the brown hair. But I know why they did it it was two separate comparisons from him and Ash. But I still miss that ash look but what the reverse best colors from Blue to red

I think there’s a difference between the actual main game personalities and the ones given in masters. Masters is still a spin off game and gives the protagonists personalities that don’t exist in the main games

2:42 something worth mentioning is that manga gold is reliable and capable but overlooked and seen as unreliable due to his lack of maturity and delinquent attitude. When people see him they don’t exactly see a reliable person.

4:40 Actually Pearl only says that in Volume 1 of DP, and only three times...part of me wonders if Kusaka was still trying to figure out how to make Pearl's personality differ from Barry's because Pearl never threatens to fine anyone again after those three times in Volume 1...where he does act most like Barry. Also another thing about Pearl that's different from Barry is that while Barry's always the one to BE reigned in and kept in line by Dawn and Lucas and everyone, Pearl is actually the one DOING the reigning in...he's the one who keeps DIA AND PLATINUM in line! Seriously Pearl acts so much like a parent towards them and that's not good for a 12 year old to be put in that position...😅

Blue is a quiet intelligent guy

surprised you didn't point out how rosa in the games wanted to be a movie star while in the manga she just went out to look for N. Also another difference between serena in the games and manga is that why she's more serious but friendly in the games in the manga she's a hot head (she gets angry easily). And fun fact about the selena in the manga while not out right stated it's heavily implied that she's dawn's sister becaus unlike the games where its stated she came from kanto in the manga she's from shinno and comes from the same rich family dawn came from

Hmm… good analysis VeeVolt. But I think you might forgot to mention that Casey Sheild is a professional computer hacker. 😅

Wow Green is really different

im excited for the Scarlet and Violet manga arc if we ever get it!

7:27 nah we dont just like money, he wants to buy aether paradise becase it was from his grandfather and they "buy" from the already dead grandparent so now he need 100 million yen ( pokedollar ) to buy it back

Moon is actually implied to be Platinum's little sister.

Harreta and Mitsumi: Are we not even skip worthy?

Best line: "The two silvers" Blake has no soul, Change my mind.

Red from the manga actually looks more like tyson from beyblade imo

I'm guesing Lyra wasn't mentioned, as despite Kris being in Lyra's outfit in the manga, Lyra is not a Kris counterpart?

Can i get the name of the game show casing red

Is there anywhere i can read the Pokemon adventures manga for free?

Now do villians plz

So, Casey always has cap locks on ?

Wow so Red doesn't talk in the game

You forgot colosseum and it's manga

Where's Yellow?!

Took me a second to realize. Blake and Whitley :)

Okay but why does emerald have a ammo belt?

Me: Is aware that the Pokemon manga can get dark 1:47 shows up Me: WHAT THE FUCK

Whitley is the most interesting character

why are all the personalities of characters in the games and shows EXACTLY THE SAME

The did scarlet and violet manga

I'd like a comparison to the anime

Love couple in Pokemon

Hmm so whitely would have legitimately been one to say the phrase of my lord N?😅🤨🧐🤔

Masters ex and the other animations are trash and inconsistent
