>>31436703I like your graph, and it's also not wrong. But that's not to say he didn't develop at all during BW1 and did a complete 180 by the end. Your graph even shows that it was a steady escalation which led to one big revelation of character by the end.
The climax of BW1 was more like breaking through a wall. The only way for N to truly understand and reject the points of view he'd been force-fed all his life is to beat it out of him one on one, as a hero, with a legendary dragon.
When he loses, when you beat him, when you destroy his beliefs and dreams in front of his eyes, everything he saw out there in the world comes together and now makes sense to him.
>"It's about when I first met you in Accumula Town. I was shocked when I heard what your Pokémon was saying. I was shocked because that Pokémon said it liked you. It said it wanted to be with you.">"I couldn't understand it. I couldn't believe there were Pokémon that liked people. Because, up until that moment, I'd never known a Pokémon like that. The longer my journey continued, the more unsure I became. All I kept meeting were Pokémon and people who communicated with one another and helped one another. That was why I needed to confirm my beliefs by battling with you. I wanted to confront you hero-to-hero. I needed that more than anything."
