>>31436438>If I see Pokemon happy, calling it happy isn't changing views or anythingIt is for N. Keep in mind what kind of person he is and how he's lived all his life. He's been brainwashed basically. N at the start of the game thinks that ALL trainers only abuse Pokemon through battle and that its a bad and toxic relationship. Yes what he's saying "Your Pokemon look happy" is a fact, but the fact that he's admitting it, and that he can SEE it is important and an example that he is beginning to change and see other points of view and how the world really is.
Because up until now he's never seen a Pokemon that loved its trainer before. He's never seen a Pokemon say that it wanted to stay with its trainer. This is something alien to him, and he's just beginning to accept it.
I also never said Cheren or Silver had better or worse development than N. They are all different characters to develop in their own unique ways to become better people and to overcome their short comings. As long as a character does that, they can grow.
I just don't believe N has bad character development. I think we was executed very well.
