What i find most troubling about the pokespe fandom is how it seems some fanon has become the complete opposite of canon and people are just like, ok?? with? that???? And how pretty much every fanon personality besides Yellow is never corrected? So I would like to show some example of things i have seen in many fanfics vs. what actually happens in the plot-
for example:
-EVERY SINGLE HIGH SCHOOL AU EVER: Lance lusts after Yellow and Red ends up protecting her.
VS. CANON YELLOW ARC PLOT: Lance is a jerk to everyone and kidnaps Red, so Yellow actually pushes him into an active volcano.
-FANON: Crystal is a mega violent workaholic who constantly kicks Gold for being a perv.
VS. FACTS GIVEN TO US BY THE ACTUAL GSC/HGSS ARCS: Crystal totally could have set out to collect pokemon without a pokedex, but doesn’t because she was taking care of children at an orphanage and only leaves when the pokedex allows her to financially support said orphanage because she is the best mom/ in her flash back she defends the arcanine who BROKE HER ARMS from being beat up by the pokemon who saved her because arcanine was also hurt/ she really doesn’t have a one on one pokemon battle with anyone until she is forced to in HGSS/ she kicked Gold once and not even that hard?? She just shut him up because she was embarassed, like how?? do? you? think? she’s? violent????? what gave you that idea ever??? Also Gold really hasn’t done anything pervy since he touched Blue’s butt, so he’s just an annoying lil flirty turd to everyone
-WHY IS THIS IN EVERY SINGLE FANFICTION: Blue is the sneaky little matchmaker with a master plan to get all her friends into relationships with each other and drags Green along with her.
VS. CANON FRLG ARC: Blue is just… Super cool? She is pretty and cool and reeaally smart and wishes she could have lived a normal life but is also bit to proud to admit it to just anyone. Treats her friends like family, and just for some reason everyone just does what she says?? not like she blackmails them, they just do. you can look for yourself if you want, but almost every time Blue asks for something they just do it. And Green just has some of his own issues because he totally used to be a little brat and had some Grampa issues, but has mostly grown out of it and now just tries to keep his friends from getting themselfs killed.
-FANON: Silver has a big-sister complex and a crush on Blue and so therefore hates Green because apparently Blue likes Green instead of him?
CANON: Silver has 99 problems Blue has not caused a single one because she has only ever brought good positive vibes into his super messed up life.
