I'm sorry but the story is absolutely horrible. The whole story, once you get your first badge, is basically seeing other characters investigate and do interesting things, while you rush from gym to gym. There is barely any story, and the little bits that are there are dangled in front of you, only to be solved and experienced by other people. The big plot twist about Rose and his assistant is poorly done, obvious, and unreasonable because the whole energy crisis argument directly contradicts more-or-less all of the franchise's own utopian presentation. Characters are also mostly dull, with the supposedly most important character in the whole region having basically only three lines of speech: "I'm unbeatable!", "I'm bad with directions.", "Let the adults handle this.". Hop is incredibly annoying, but I can at least appreciate that he's going through some development throughout the game. Leon is not so lucky, and neither are most others. Rose is a strange, short-sighted maniac for, like, 10 minutes, after apparently being a benevolent genius for decades before, and a remorseful, reasonable man immediately after.
