>>56198531>>56204820I always play White because for me it makes more sense that the harbinger of truth would follow N while the protagonist champions the ideals of the future.
>N views are radical within his universe but there's some truth behind what he believes>mainly that not every pokemon is gonna be lucky or happy with the current system and some will get abused>the protagonist is fighting to defend the ideal of human-&-pokemon coexistence, despite the ugly truths>coexistence may not always be perfect but it's worth striving for a better future togetherSo in a way, both are kinda right and wrong at the same time, which was kind of the point of the Tao duo and their legend.
The alternative gets weirder to justify and makes it feel like N is wrong by default:
Like, N with Zekrom is just fighting for the ideal of... pokemon and humans going their separate ways? Can that be even called an "ideal"? The alternative is that he's fighting for a better version of coexistence with different means, which sounds like a halfassed goal lacking the determination and resolution expected from the chosen hero.
Meanwhile a protagonist with Reshiram is left defending the supposed "truth" that pokemon are just fine living with humans, which ignores there will always be exceptions and bad people to mess things up, and just makes N's side outright misguided from the get go.
