It would have been great if they had explained more about N in the game themselves, rather than have to reveal some stuff in a blog post. A bit like the books(?) in the 'mansion', in the original games, which talked about Jungle X.
Black and White really underwent a great deal of improvement in the plot department, but I still believe they could have done even better. I sure hope Pokémon Grey (if they ever decide to make it) will shed some more light on N and Team Plasma's story.

Quote From: Chance It would have been great if they had explained more about N in the game themselves, rather than have to reveal some stuff in a blog post. I'm actually glad that we get an official source like Mr. Masuda revealing this information himself as its considered canon when a person with his position and knowledge disseminates the information regardless if its posted on an official blog or in a book. It gives us more information about N which is good because like you said there still isn't too much known about him. |
