>>21889511>Uhhh you see the same level of characterization in Pt. Gym leaders if not more.No you don't. Besides Volkner and Wake, none of the other gym leaders really do anything. And Roark (spelled incorrectly, no doubt) as for the 3 named here, Volkner is kind of the only one with an effect on the plot.
>Wake gets the most characterization out of any gym leader.>More than Giovanni>More than a bunch of the gen 5 gym leaders>More than Blue>More than Claire>More than Korrina.Wake is up there (and, admittedly, a fun character), but I wouldn't put him at the top of characterized gym leaders.
Appearances don't really equal characterization.
>>21889456See, for me, the focus on N and the plot and characterization are why BW/2 are my favorite games in the series. I'm totally fine with having N as a focal character because
I don't self insert as the PC, and so following an interesting character with a plot line was up my alley entirely.
