>>56502242You're trying to disprove me by using dialogue from later in the game, when he is already banalized into something that is easier to attack and disregard and where the only solution is the one they went with. The explanation for why he wants to become strong, he thinks strength will:
>give him friends>make him someone people can rely on>make him emotionally independent (able to live alone and still be happy without needing others)Then later in the story the first two reasons are destroyed by Ogerpon, his family, and his supposed friend, so the third reason is all that he has left. He think strength will give him that emotional independence. This early dialogue is indeed based on his limited perception of Ogerpon at the time, he later disregards Ogerpon (and his family, and his supposed friend) after they lie and mistreat him, and in the case of Ogerpon specifically because she disregarded him in the first place. His point of view made sense and was reasonable. Maybe they could have shown him that his premise was flawed, but that's just one of the many directions they could have gone and didn't.
>He doesn't "know" that it's goodWrong, as I said before. He thought Ogerpon was good and was always talking about it. Which is supposed to be the reason his grandparents didn't want to tell him he was right, which also makes no sense because he was already telling people he talking about Ogerpon to people regardless, if anything if they told him the story they could have tried explaining why he couldn't convince people or why it was a bad idea to try. Regardless, nobody believed him anyway. Maybe if they had been honest with him in the first place he wouldn't have been excluded or thought of himself the way he did.
>why people like themPeople like the protagonist because he's the protagonist and Kieran just needs to give up and accepts he's not the protagonist. This is the closest thing to an explanation given by the game for that plothole conclusion.
