Quoted By:
Since childhood, N was raised by a cult led by one psychopath megalomaniac, who, in his capacity as N's foster father, intentionally led N to believe that most humans abuse their Pokemon partners, and that human-monster bonds are better off broken completely and indefinitely. After the cult lets N loose into the world to enact part of the leader's plot for grabbing power (having groomed him into an ideal partner for a legendary heroic monster), N has trouble accepting that everything he knows is wrong and most people are pretty decent to their monster pals. This is not unrealistic, deeply held beliefs do not change overnight no matter how blatant the evidence to the contrary is. It's not N's character that's the real problem in BWs plot. The real elephant of stupidity in the room that we ought to acknowledge is the intellectual hoops we have to jump through to believe Ghetsis' plan was ever truly realistic. The average Unovan person is cast as hopelessly ignorant and impressionable if we are to assume that N showing up on the Pokemon League stage with a dragon extolling the virtues of releasing your Pokemon was going to have a major effect on public opinion. All of Team Plasma's propaganda should be absolutely laughable to anyone with any experience interacting with Pokemon and with half a braincell, but even the main cast of characters who know it to be 100% bullshit (Juniper, Cheren, Alder et al) treat it as a legitimate threat to the region.
