>>18582203While I like the idea of White being canon to SS's timeline (as I played both);
Black and HG are clearly the canon.
The Kimono girls were retconned to be involved with Heart Gold's plot. While I dont remember their exact dialogue, they were charged with the safekeeping of the Tin Bell or Rainbow wing whichever it was (I know lugia was a bell; again, I played SS) to summon the legendary. And they lived in
Ecruteak City. Where the Burned Tower is. While there IS a connection between Lugia and Ecruteak (Lugia caused the storm that destroyed the towers, and fled in order to prevent disaster from striking at its own wings again; Hence why its behind a giant waterfall in a giant rock on a tiny island in the middle of the fucking ocean; and even THATS blocked off by whirlpools)
It just wouldn't make any sense for the protectors, summoners, or whatever they are, to be so far away from the beast they're watching over, rather than at the foot of the tower is roosts on.
Meanwhile, N is tricked by Ghetsis, repeatedly fed these lies about a Utopia, a perfect world without Humans, where Pokemon could be their own and humans could thrive without the need of "tools", and its up to the player to beat the truth into his head that neither Pokemon nor humankind want to be separate from the other or would be better off if they were.
The truth of your world versus the Ideal of his. If they were not direct sequels, Black2 would be a bit confusing though the plot isnt about Truth and Ideal any more.
And thats why the protag never gets the other dragon during the story but, who are the canon protags of gen 5?
