Well there's of course the difference that even if you can call what IDW does cheap, you can't really accuse them of producing it for the sole purpose of selling toys (there isn't even any type of merch for it, not even t-shirts), it's made with the purpose of being genuine entertainment.
I mean sure, I have fond memories of the Pokemon anime but I have to admit it doesn't really hold up nor would I really defend the quality, and part of the reason it doesn't hold up is because it wasn't really created for the purpose of being entertaining but rather for the purpose of marketing video games.
