>>56239668My issues with Black/White's story as a devout Black/White hater:
No ambiguity nor mystery to Team Plasma's motives for any length of time. Immediately revealed as wholeheartedly evil.
Thus undermines the central theme of Pokemon exploitation. Throws the into series into question BUT pulls out of said debate immediately. It was pointless and a total waste of the subject. You learn nothing and N does nothing except extoll the virtues of the power of friendship.
Despite being therefore worthless, N is nevertheless shoved everywhere in the story, to the point even the ending of the game is devoted completely to him. So he's an annoyance who interrupts the journey constantly while saying and doing nothing of value.
Reshiram is clearly aesthetically better suited to N, and yet despite N's worldview being a fiction, a fantasy, a lie, they decided that Reshiram should be the dragon of truth. And Zekrom's design has absolutely nothing evocative of "ideals"---furthermore, its electricity thematics evokes modern technology, yet it's stuck in the game designed around pre-modern, rural aesthetics.
Ghetsis is just Giovanni but with a bevvy of nonsense attached.
Alder, who is supposed to be the champion, is made into a pathetic loser for N wank. He also is himself annoying and worthless.
Obviously all this had to be changed. Black/White is a trainwreck, a terribly designed game that obviously had no quality control, or just morons in charge who have no sense of rationality.
