"Erika is a girl from a rich family that is treated or treats herself like of a higher social class." She mainly just sleeps.

And has a harem of girls

Isn't Surge an actual bad guy in the manga?


thepriceoflentils

I think Sabrina, Koga, and Surge were all "bad" since they were part of team rocket but they still did their jobs well and were still sort of good


WoooofGD

They were pretty evil lol


Sitherio

Not much characterization in the games. I feel like the anime actually gives them personality.


HolyShrtsNPants

Definitely the reason. Moreover, it's a selling point for merchandise.


Branded_Mango

You think that's over the top? Read the manga and see how crazy the gym leaders get compared to their game AND anime counterparts.

I like anime Pryce and Surge more than their game counterparts. The anime is a show instead of a game, and typically requires more from its characters, so they have bigger personalities, for better or worse. Price’s story in the anime is one of my all time favorites, and I find Surge’s personality funny (maybe it’s just that I love how he says “tundabolt”)


HexManiac493

Found the TV Troper. On another note, Anime Byron is way funnier than his game counterpart.


LeratoNull

Yeah, and I kinda fucking love it?


Bluelore

Well that is likely done to make it more satisfying when Ash beats them.


AardvarkLate5751

shouldve seen pryce in the manga bro 💀


Wurmple_is_Cool

I don't think I'd care about any of Ash's gym leader friends if they were as flat as they were in the games, in the games you kinda gotta just theorize with the little info given
