>>46107710I don't understand this complaint at all.
Would you have preferred Alder beat N and Ghetsis himself? That would've cut the player out of the story, the same shit everyone complains about in SwSh except made a hundred times times worse having done so at the climax rather than at random story beats. You would've been denied the final battle with N and Ghetsis because of your notion that the Champion is supposed to be completely undefeatable to anyone but the player character, which is not only stupid, but the story would've been built up only to end with a wet fart to which you'd complain even more. Don't deny it. The "wahhh i wanted to fight ghetsis" would've been immeasurable. Fighting Alder after he says "saved the world for you, lol" would've been the worst possible outcome from a literary and gameplay perspective, especially since this is the ONE time Gamefreak actually merged the A and B plots together to create something that could be considered effort.
You get to fight a reinstated Alder regardless.
