>>49448169The story involves Arceus. But it's about quelling angered noble pokemon, it's about Dialga and Palkia, and it's about Giratina and Volo, who is motivated by anger towards Arceus. I won't say Arceus doesn't play a role in the story, since it kickstarts things by sending you back in time and gives Volo motivation to pair with Giratina and create a rift, but to say that it's a story about Arceus isn't accurate. Would you say Platinum is a story about Giratina? I wouldn't. It's a story about the characters that endeavor to take advantage of it, and those that oppose that.
>>49448192When did I say Arceus should be a questgiver? Nice strawman.
