N. Cool but simple design, nice characterization in his games, interesting gimmick of using local wild mons in battle, and for some reason he reminds me of Part 7 Zeppelli.

Lillie is okay, but nothing special. I haven't played Sun and Moon yet though so maybe my opinion on her will change once I do.

Came into the thread expecting everyone to be shitting on Lillie. Wasn't disappointed.

Anyway, I pick Lillie. She's a vastly superior character, with better personality and great character development. N can EASILY surpass her, but the way he was handled, his current version just doesn't hold up. His character development all happened off screen, which is an incredibly shitty thing to do. He also had only a sort of weird and not likeable personality. Had Unova games come out now, with Ohmori directing instead of Masuda, and you got to see his character develop, N would be the obvious choice. But as things stand, N was just a weird man who wanted unrealistic things, battled you now and then. Lillie is simply a better character because her character is a lot more realistic and sympathetic.

"Getting used" but he still lead a relatively fine life, although a fake one. Ghetsis treated him well. And this isn't even something you should be comparing. By the end of their games, both characters were in completely different places. N had just reset, while Lillie had leveled up.

The plot was so contrived that its was joke status.

More contrived than lilie staying at that hotel on Akala island waiting for someone who never shows up or mentioned again just so she doesn't reunite with Gladion on route 5. Fuck this games story.

Lillie would be my favorite character in the entire series if she double battled with you against her mother using only a level 2 shitmon that got swept immediately. Especially if she knew she'd get swept immediately but still wanted to help you.

It still happened. She failed to do her only job.

And it was all due to her own incompetence. Over and over the story puts her in danger, even a mentally retarded child would realize that they need Pokemon to protect themselves.

But no, Lillie is a special case. She has to keep Cosmog, but she also refuses to battle.

People love talking shit about Zinnia for endangering Hoenn, yet they gleefully ignore how Lillie endangered Alola because "uguu I don't like battles".

What happened? Nothing did. You, who was recruited by Lillie, took care of before it got out of hand. Had she not stolen Cosmog in the beginning, everything would've been over right there.

>they need Pokemon to protect themselves
Pokemon aren't tools. And it isn't as easy. Not everyone can be a trainer strong enough of defending themselves, like how not everyone can fight in real life. Hau, an experienced trainer, still couldn't do anything. All her having Pokemon would achieve is just her Pokemon getting their asses kicked.

What exactly is Lusamine winning? If Lillie wasn't involved, Lusamine would've certainly died. Hell, after she opened the first portal in her cryogenics room it doesn't really seem like anything else happened in regards to Ultra Space leaking into the main world. The MC took care of all the escaped beasts in the postgame (without Lillie) so I fail to see how much damage she could've done had Lillie not been involved.

The only major changes I can imagine would be Lusamine dying in Ultra Space, and possibly Guzma as well since he might've escaped through the portal Lillie and the player opened.

I like how you ignore the fact that Lusamine was only a danger to herself, and just wanted to go to the digital world alone. Her winning would have been inconsequential.

Irrelevant because the attempt is what matters and what separates N from Lillie. if both my arms are broken and my best friend/sibling is about to get in a fight, you better believe I'll be right next to them kicking as hard as I fucking can even if we both wind up in the hospital. If Lillie was given the third starter or any shitmon and didn't fight a single battle until confronting Lusamine and joined you for a double battle knowing she's about to get her shit pushed in she'd be in the running for best character in this shitshow of a game.

There were more important things that needed to be done than playing around with Pokemon. Like keeping Nebby away from Lusamine, and later on, getting it evolve. Improving her own self, rather than her Pokemon.
Not to mention she couldn't, but that's completely besides the point.

This is a Pokemon game, so I can't say wanting someone to use a Pokemon is wrong. That's completely fair thing to ask for. But I simply think it doesn't fit in anywhere. Maybe having her use Pokemon postgame in front of you before going to Kanto would've workd, but during the main game, there was simply no need.

Except in a Pokemon battle, you're not the one who ends up in the hospital, your Pokemon is.

What you're asking for is to give Lillie - someone who's only just warmed up to the idea of Pokemon battles after avoiding them due to the Pokemon getting hurt - give her a shitmon that she doesn't know how to use and will get one-shot anyway, just to prove she's willing to try? Because while I get what you're going for, you're only going to end up putting her right back where she started, blaming herself for needlessly putting a Pokemon into danger when she knew it wouldn't help, and then swearing off battling again.

This is a good thread. Face it waifufags, Lillie was awful. My happiest moment in SM was when she left for Kanto because I wouldn't have to deal with her Mary Sue ass stopping me every 10 seconds to complain. Good fucking riddance. N wasn't the best thing since sliced bread or anything, but he was sure as hell better than Lillie.

Being perfectly honest, I'd pick Cheren, Bianca and Ghetsis over N any day. N is way too overrated. I mean that not as in too popular. Actually overrated.

He was just another villain. Almost Lysandre tier, just not evil. He starts out wanting to do something stupid, tells everyone exactly what it is, everyone ignores until shit hits the fan, and after he loses, he becomes good. Giovanni did this shit 20 years ago. Maxie and Archie were the same. The only difference is, he gets his Legendary and beats Alder. Yet, he's somehow revered as the greatest character of all time.

Lillie isn't great, but being better than N isn't hard.

There are definitely better characters in Gen 5 but, this is between Lillie and N.

My problem with Lillie is you can remove her entirely from the game, just have a lone cosmog wandering that you have to watch and the plot still works fine. The only thing that might not work is going back to ultra-space to get Lusamine but even then you could just do that with Gladion.

Not to mention her plan of taking cosmog doesn't make any sense. What was she planning on doing with it? She's not a trainer so she could never get it to level up and evolve on her own. Plus, she's stuck in this smallish region where Team Skull and Aether are pretty much everywhere so how would she not get caught eventually especially with cosmog constantly running away because she's not a trainer and therefore doesn't keep it in a pokeball.

There's no way she's a better character than N.

Those are all problems with the story. Well, most of them aren't even that and just you don't understand it, somehow, but that's not my point.
My point is that a character should be judged as a character. Their backstory, personality, character arc, overall development and conclusion. N is lacking in all of those except for backstory, which is a lot better than Lillie's.

So then, let's judge Lillie. She technically has the same backstory as Gladion so already it's not unique to Sun and Moon.

Her personality isn't really existent besides that she doesn't like seeing pokemon get hurt, which changes at the end because she decides to become a trainer anyway.

Her entire arc in the story is hey MC I need your help because I'm not a trainer and beyond deciding to become a trainer she doesn't develop as a character.

N doesn't have any of this but because his role in the story is much more integral he's just a better character overall.

Also, it's not that I don't understand, it's that we have different view points. As a character Lillie is really shitty. Compare her Gladion - despite having the same backstory, his personality is way more defined and you can gradually see his overall development from when you first meet him until the point where he trusts you enough with a Type: Null of your own.

Stopped reading there. I'm not going to claim Lillie is a great character, but if you somehow managed to miss something that was shoved into your face for the entirety of the game, then there's nothing to argue here.

I don't think it was less than N's but just not enough to make her a more impacting character than N in fact, I actually believe she's more like a less developed Gladion.

>They both take pokemon from Lusamine, but Gladion partners with his while Lillie has the MC bodyguard her.

>They both needed to find their own identity because they were used to being accessories to Lusamine. Gladion does this first on his own and it takes the MC to push Lillie to do so.

>They both became trainers to become stronger but again, Gladion does this first and, again, it takes the MC to push Lillie to do so.

>They both needed to learn to stand up to Lusamine - Gladion learns this much earlier than Lilie though.

In the end, Lillie just developed to a point where Gladion already was while Gladion continued to develop from when you first meet him. This is why I think she's a shitty character. If the thread was Gladion or N, I'd be on team Gladion for sure.

Not everyone who likes her is a waifufag. And, while this might come off as a surprise to you, Lillie is just as popular among girls as she is with boys, across all ages. The term to better describe her would be "a likeable and sympathetic character", rather than waifubait.

So, if you beat the game without losing once, your story is trash? Good to know.

>>31429997
"Trainers communicate through battle and I wanna get in on this" is certainly an idea that Pokemon welcomes, but there are some catches. For one, it doesn't work if the parties aren't on equal ground, or else the beginner will just get stomped on without being able to communicate much of anything besides "Ouch". At least as importantly, though, the time to implement this idea is not when lives are at stake, even if you think that Lusamine was the only one endangered by her own actions.

You're essentially exchanging passively bad writing, where Lillie doesn't try to help until the story's over, with actively bad writing where Lillie "heroically" puts untrained Pokemon in danger, against her established character, just to feel like she's helping you. Again, I know that she should've tried becoming a Trainer or fucking done something before the story ended, but that isn't the way to do it.

Welp, in my opinion idl Silver because vereything looks like its happening to evolve as a character, and feels artificial. N dev looks more dynamic. You live some of his evolution moments, some others you dont, and even he is rour real "rival", he doesnt feel tha main history of the game.

Silver is more like
1st encounter: Fk u, u win me, i hate you
Last Encounter: Arg, you win me, dammit, i dont like you, i need to be more strong.

On gen2 the MC makes Silver evolve.
On gen5 the MC and N bought retro-evolves the one whit the other. Feels more real, less "unidirectional":

Silver actually starts having doubts long before the final battle, and by the final battle, he's a completely different character. Suck N's dick all you want, doesn't change the fact that he had zero development until the final battle.

Not necessarily. What we the player saw was the most defining point of N's character development, and that was when we fight him in N's castle and defeat him, which is the moment which completely changes his world.
For the entirety of BW since he fought you in Accumula he'd been questioning the relationship between humans and Pokemon more and more every time he fought you and with every trainer he saw in this world that he'd never been part of. He realized for a long time that you weren't wrong, but he didn't want to admit or accept that. Some people can only be appealed to with force, and beating N at the end of BW really brings that all home for him and he realizes right there that he was wrong.
The player starts the fire of his development, but we dont necessarily get to see it grow. But that's fine because we don't need to. We already know the kind of things that N experienced and saw in the two year gap between BW1 and BW2, because its everything WE saw when playing both of those games and talking to trainers who told us they love their Pokemon.
Also N thread.

You literally see none of that. It might as well have not happened. The thing about character development is that it only works right when you see it. If a character appears at two different points, and acts a bit differently because development happened off screen, it means nothing. Even a kid can write that.

N: Pokemon are suffering
N: I want legendary Pokemon to release them
N: Maybe they're not suffering
N: Okay, they weren't

See, I made "chacacter development" happen in this very post. Pad it up with a few extra lines of dialogue, and that's off screen development. If you think you don't need to see development happen for it to work, you don't know what you're talking about.

We may not see it blatantly displayed right in front of our faces, but it doesn't need to be. It's called subtlety. If something is implied correctly it doesn't need to be spelled out in big letters to the player. Every time you run into N in BW1 and battle him you can see he's changing little by little. Although at the time he's still in his resistant and rejecting different ideas phase, but you know he only rejects you so vehemently because inside he's more doubtful than ever. You are changing him. The world is changing him, and little by little you can see that happening to when it all culminates at the final battle at the Pokemon league.

If N is developing (and understanding the relationship between people and Pokemon better) because he's seeing the exact same things we're seeing as we play the game, then we don't need to see that.

Yes, and I'm not going to deny that. What makes Silver better though is that you can see a lot more of it. He doesn't have as much dialogue, but it's all meaningful. We also SEE his past with Giovanni, his battle with Lance. He starts developing a lot sooner than N, and does so on a greater scale.

>>31435975
Subtlety implies it his development was at least hinted at. Of all the times you encounter him, he has ONE line before Pokemon League that implies his views have changed a bit. Other than that, he goes on about random things each time he meets you, and connects those things to releasing Pokemon. That's not good development. Good development is Cheren's, who you see start out strong, be hungry for power, meet Alder and show doubt about his views, to finally becoming a better person by the end.
Saying N "grows little by little even if you don't see it" is the same as saying LITERALLY everyone is growing little by little, we just don't see it.

I'm not saying N's character development goes completely unseen. It merely happens as a slow, steady escalation. And we do see it. You can see his views steadily beginning to change bit by bit in every encounter you have with him. Many times before you fight him at the Pokemon league he questions you and himself on if a world where people and Pokemon remain together is really the best one. Although it also may not seem like it since at the same time he's denying your views at the same time he's struggling to try and accept them.

>"As a result... Pokémon and Trainers who care about one another, like you and your Pokémon, will be separated. And that does break my heart a little."

And even this line isn't really development. He asked your Pokemon's feelings, and he was clearly told by your Pokemon that they were happy. He is just stating what he heard from you Pokemon.
If you can provide examples of him showing doubt or slowly changing his views, that's one thing. But until after you beat him, that one line is all the development he has. After you get to the league, it goes from being at 5% to a 100% in a single go. That's forced as fuck. Not "development". It's more like replacing the character with a different one.

the problem with lillie is that her proper development started too late in the story, so by the time you get to see her really change she's already leaving for kanto

if her development in the story was a bit faster (maybe even to the point where she could battle alongside/against you with pokemon of similar levels) i think a lot less people on /vp/ would hate her

normies loved her regardless though so

Like I said before its subtle, and even N is still struggling to accept the ideas you're fighting for as well. Whenever he thinks "maybe Pokemon and humans should be together" he also rejects that thought because of everything he's been force-fed to believe all his life by Ghetsis. A person who has been conditioned to believe something cant willingly accept other points of view so easily. This is why every time N vehemently rejects your ideas (like his freak out on Juniper in Chargestone, or his conversation with you outside the Mistralton Gym) it's an example of how inside he is in turmoil questioning if you might actually be right. He only actually admits that to you after the final battle, which makes all his comments BEFORE then come together in one moment. It's called build up and connecting all the little bits and pieces they've given you during the entire story.

Those are FACT. How the fuck is that development? Explain. Just saying it's "subtle" doesn't cut it. If I see Pokemon happy, calling it happy isn't changing views or anything. It's not subtle. It's shitty. That's the word you're looking for.

I gave up completely. You have no idea what development even means. I don't mind people sucking N's dick. I do too. But calling this shit character development is bullshit of a new level. Calling it BETTER than Silver's or Cheren's is another thing entirely. It means you're fucking delusional.
Fuck, I'm pissed now. "Your Pokémon look happy." is fucking development. Fuck.

It is for N. Keep in mind what kind of person he is and how he's lived all his life. He's been brainwashed basically. N at the start of the game thinks that ALL trainers only abuse Pokemon through battle and that its a bad and toxic relationship. Yes what he's saying "Your Pokemon look happy" is a fact, but the fact that he's admitting it, and that he can SEE it is important and an example that he is beginning to change and see other points of view and how the world really is.
Because up until now he's never seen a Pokemon that loved its trainer before. He's never seen a Pokemon say that it wanted to stay with its trainer. This is something alien to him, and he's just beginning to accept it.

I also never said Cheren or Silver had better or worse development than N. They are all different characters to develop in their own unique ways to become better people and to overcome their short comings. As long as a character does that, they can grow.
I just don't believe N has bad character development. I think we was executed very well.

Welp, he never supposed that a pkmn could be happy on trainers hands. So relief that a pkmn its happy whit his trainer broke one of his pilars on his idea of a happy world.

Of course, since he reveals you he is the """king""" of team Plasma, he is not going to show his doubts to you at your face, but you can feel it on how he talks and how his ideals come less agresives.

Obv is not a great charactwr or something like that but he's obv one of the top best characters of the franch. and hightly supperior to Lillie.

Yes, it's weird for him to see that. But that's about it. It leads to fucking nothing until the end of the fucking game. It's not something he came up with on his own or something that changes him. He sees a happy Pokemon. He ignoring it and still gives zero fucks. It leads to nothing until you literally beat him into submission. You can sugarcoat that into saying he accepts your views, but that doesn't change how you have take away all his fucking options just to get that development.

Fuck, I wasn't going to reply, but this is actually ridiculous. N just seeing something he believed doesn't exist is now character development? No, it fucking not. It would be if that affected his CHARACTER in any meaningful way until the very fucking end of the game.

because it couldn't be something that he comes up with on his own. You also need to take into account N is a very close minded person and he's also very childish. The important thing about interacting and forming relationships with other people with different opinions than you is that they change your points of view. Some things you will never be able to realize until you experience it by interacting with another person and having them show you a new side of something you never considered before.

>but that doesn't change how you have take away all his fucking options just to get that development.

Which is also the point. Black and White would have never had the climax and grand impact that it did at the end if N had never resisted you to the very last. His beliefs, although lies, were VERY deeply rooted and extreme measures needed to be taken to really snap him out of his delusions. To break him out of the fake world he'd been living in all his life. It's culmination.
It's a climax of a character and of a story.

I 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.

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."

Not actually a Zinniafag (she's okay, I guess, not my favorite), but her personality isn't detestable, but... childish. She was arrogant and tried to place too much on her own shoulders. If you talk to her grandma, you'll find out that she was trying to fit into a role that wasn't for her out of respect/love/admiration for whoever that role /was/ for as it's implied that they died. Poor exposition on GF's part, but that's nothing new.

As for Lillie versus N... I'd go with N's premise over Lillie's, but the execution of Lillia's premise was better.
