With the way they handled it, they might end up padding the whole OVA if they added more.
Honestly it's more of the focus and too much pandering rather than letting the show does its thing that bothers me.
Well I figured they might have more time to develop and round the characters out a little with the OVA series format. It all just felt a little too rushed. You never really got to see Red develop on screen. He mostly developed off screen and would show up bigger, badder, stronger.
Also the way Giovani went out was pretty ridiculous even if it did follow the plot of the game. It was like after a single pokemon battle he abandobs his entire adult lifes ambition and disbands his entire organization because one snot nose kid reminded him how fun pokemon battles are? :/
Speaking of which the entire team rocket enterprise was a foot note in the movie and it was all offscreen.
Thats probably why the way Giovanni went out felt ridiculous, there was no build up to that, no series of changing preceptions and a progress of personal discovery by Giovanni during his encounters with the boy.
You just dont go from hurting/manipulating pokemon and then caring about pokemon/battles in a single instant.
There was no build up.
That brings me back to the point of why the movie felt rushed. It packed too much plot with very little build up to carry the story along.
Thats my biggest gripe.
I can still watch it again though, which means its nof a total loss for me. Lol.
