Why did Pokemon stories change from 'become the champion' to 'save the world whilst pondering how morally grey everything is'?

People already complain enough about each game being the same. Could you imagine the bitching if the story was still the plot of Pokemon Red and Blue?

I really miss the story from the Kanto and Johto games. Just you and your pokémon trying to become champs and beating up a evil organization along the way.
No story is better than an awful story in my opinion.

For fucks sake. If you actually look at the games objectively, it's just N popping out somewhere and saying "Dude, do you prefer truth or ideals? You must choose one. Or maybe not, maybe there's more than just the two extremes". 5/5 what a deep, original, and inspiring story that truly made me think about what's going on in the world.

I don't think you understand what either of those words means, because they're basically opposites.

He said "closest thing to a good story," not that it was a good story. And he's right.

it's also the closest thing to an actually well written villain, seriously Ghetsis is just about the most horrifying thing in the main series games and he doesn't have a completely pussy team like lysandre

His whole persona is "I want power" with no redeeming qualities or reasoning behing his ideas. He's the most cliche saturday morning cartoon villain ever.

Raising N for his entire life under severe indoctrination and depriving him of meaningful social contact outside Team Plasma up until he met PC.

Ghetsis wasn't a good character in anyway though. N was where it was at. best boy

He's a fucking King. There is no child abuse here. Unless you have proof that he kicked N in the face or something, fuck off with your conspiracy bullshit.

If anyone in the Pokemon series is edgy2thaMAX it's gotta be Cyrus or Lysandre.

At least Cyrus was clear cut and pretty cool (I love how they took advantage of Sinnoh's lore in Platinum, dat Distortion World was dope. Lysandre just confused me. At first I thought Team Flare was just some weird elitist fashion mafia but then they pull out this nihilistic doomsday plot and I got totally lost about what the fuck was happening

Cyrus and Lysandre had the same idea basically, except Cyrus was a little more hardcore about it.

"I wanna destroy pokemon and humans and start over with only Team Flare"
"I want to become god and rewrite everything."

I didn't mind it in ORAS, mostly because it was the good guys that were on the morally ambiguous end about the use of Infinity Energy. That's shit you have to consider, rather than BW's "maybe training pokemon is bad lel just kidding its fine Ghetsis is actually a hack so don't worry".

Difference was what caused it though

The funny thing is that Cyrus is the only villain that actually managed to archieve his goal somewhat. Since he now is the sole inhabitant of the Distortion World, a world without emotion. And since time doesn't flow there it will stay as it is forever.
So the guy that had the most ridiculous goal and wanted a universe all for himself actually did it.
