>>33266573>If the enemy were just N or Ghetsis actually believed what he was fighting for BW would be great but Ghetsis being evil/manipulative simplified the story.Ah, I see you either skipped the post game or never picked up BW2, because if you did you would realize that N did believe in his own ideals until the bitter end, even after being defeated by the MC, whose ideals were different, and even after seeing first hand what Ghetis really had for a motive.
The build up and progression of N from the first game and into what we learn in the second is what makes it far more compelling, and the fact that he was conflicted, yet made good of his word, regardless, simply because he still believed what he was taught, even if Ghetis taught it to him as a means of further manipulating N.
N went from a mysterious rival, to a poorly written one, then into an ally, then right back into a formidable foe, only to have that all reverse once we see the flash backs in BW2, and learn what became of Team Plasma after BW.
I am not a BW / BW2 fan, in fact I like SM more overall, but to say that the plot or overall story of SM was better told, better paced, better written, or better displayed in SM is just a joke.
HOWEVER, do not go getting your autism raging, for I will say this; USM has the potential to tell a new story the right way, or just better tel the first with additional details and shit, similar to how BW2 finished the story of BW. Hell, I hope USM DOES do just that, only because I saw the potential of SM's story fall so flat in the first game and want to see them try again and do it right this time around.
But, hey, even if the story sucks in USM, we can all hope for the Switch game to do it up right!
