I agree with this. If it wasn't for the game, there would be no pokemon, making the games the original version of the reality.

I think the game is the closest thing we can get for Pokemon reality. The plot is more simple than the anime and the manga and makes more sense.
But the anime sometimes goes deeper in the mechanics of Pokemon. I like how the anime gets creative and adds more information to make it more interesting. One example would be in the game, it didn't explain how the 3 starters from each generation are given the same level, but in the anime starters are raised secretly by breeders. |

I would say the anime, because stuff that is in the game like speed priority and stuff, that doesnt count in the anime, plus you can tell your Pokemon to dodge every attack so you would never get hit.

The Games... No not The Game, Well anyways the games came out first so I hear, because the Anime and the Manga is both based off the games, but that isn't my opinion, there is a certain point of strategy involved with the games.

I'd say the games. For the most part.
I hate how there are so many variations of the same events in different Pokemon games, i.e., in Diamond, Cyrus only wants to take control of Dialga, but in Pearl, he wants to take control of Palkia, and then in Platinum, he wants both, but Giratina intervenes. And they confirmed in Black and White that the slightly differing events in both games are actually taking place in different universes. So basically, if you believe the games are canon, then you have to believe that there are alternate universes, some of which may be those of the anime or manga. I, however, like to believe in a mix of the games and anime. I consider the third versions the most canonical, along with some aspects of the anime (that do not include plot), like a further explanation of the design and history of the Poke ball, lack of levels, etc. |

I do believe that in semi-rare cases, the anime and manga come exceedingly close to being in the same universe, due to battle mechanics and areas not in the games. However, the manga has multiple iterations and personalities of the same core characters; For example, Red. The anime uses a select few main characters with single set personalities, and leave the Character/Pokémon of the Day to create a temporary spark of personality change. The games are much simpler personality-wise, however sometimes I wish your player character could say more than a simple yes or no depending on the situation.
Overall, I would say the anime is the most realistic reality, the games are the best reality, and the manga(s) is/are the most abundant and diverse reality. |

I would like to think that the game is the most "real." Just because the manga and anime were spin offs of the game.
If you did consider all three as one world, I think it might work. The games portray one story of our protagonists/antagonists. The manga is another story that they all have. Then, the anime has Ash and another protagonist, both of which you never regularly see in your in-game adventure. So, they all could be in the same world. |

The anime is too much of a spin-off, with moves and pokemon that doesn't hurt people, too many towns and places that doesn't exist in games, itens, characters, rules...I think Pokemon Adventures is a good take on how the game could convert into "reality", even Satoshi Tajiri said so. So I'll go with the manga, which is heavily based on the games.

I sadly have to say that the anime is the true Pokemon Universe. The games just had too weak of a plot. "Cyrus has captured a bunch of legendary Pokemon, oh no. Let's go beat him up and capture the legendary Pokemon for myself. Yay." The anime, while it may be... horrible in some people's opinions, actually conveys the story better than the games, whatever the story may be.
Although I don't have any experience with the manga so my choice is a bit limited. Also, another point I forgot to include, everyone when they think of the games think of the metagaming, not the plot or anything like that. It's all about strategy nowadays.
