>>41885252>N virtually abandons his positionBecause he realizes that he's been gaslit and everything he's been told is a lie. Then he flies off to find the truth for himself. This isn't a bad thing.
>the fact he uses Pokeballs at all virtually automatically makes him a hypocrite>I don't imagine he invited wild Pokemon to battleHe literally has a new team every time you fight him, entirely composed of locally-found pokemon. He might have the pokeball animation, but I think that's just a technical limitation and he actually *does* invite local pokemon to fight you. The desert was the last area you were in before the ferris wheel city.
>BW was a completely failed attempt to tackle a serious thematic issueIt wasn't handled perfectly, but it did a damn good job, all things considered.
>who does not wield his power of persuasion to incessantly instill doubt in the player Ghetsis messing with the player's head would have been pretty amazing, had it happened. I'll give you that.
