>>37997156To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Black and White. It's narrative is extremely subtle , and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the stuff will go over a typical gamer's head. There's also N's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation - his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of amour, to realize that it's not just sweet- it says something deep about LIFE.
As a consequence people who dislike Black and White truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the deepness of N's existencial catchphrase "Release your pokemon" which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Toshinobu Matsumiya's genius unfolds itself on their DS' screens. What fools... how I pity them.
