* GodNeverSaidThat: There is a persistent rumor that he published these books specifically to spite the higher ups of the [[Anime/PokemonTheSeries Pokémon anime]] for constantly [[LighterAndSofter kidifying]] his ideas and plots. This isn't actually true; he mainly published these books to give an idea of his original vision for the series, and had a mostly amicable work relationship with those who worked on the anime. (Many of whom he worked with on previous anime series.) It's not dark specifically to spite the franchise; it's simply a more [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome realistic]] take on the world of Pokemon from the view of someone who isn't a 10 year old like Ash is.

This isn't actually true; he mainly published these books to give an idea of his original vision for the series, and had a mostly amicable work relationship with those who worked on the anime. (Many of whom he worked with on previous anime series.) He mainly left because he got tired of the StrictlyFormula nature the show had fallen into, and wanted to write a version that wasn't so restricted by broadcast standards. It's not dark specifically to spite the franchise; franchise overall; it's simply a more [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome realistic]] take on the world of Pokemon Pokémon from the view of someone who isn't a 10 year old like Ash is.
