Sarah Wrote:Aqua and Magma were both about using Pokemon to save their regions. I've already explained the importance of the plot of RSE in previous posts but I'm sorry that you are so culturally ignorant that you think it was just a silly "fetish." Japan struggles with both flooding and volcanoes (it is in the ring of fire) and therein lies the significance of the plot of those games, and the use of those pokemon. A character as "deep" as N fits perfectly into such a situation, as he wants to free all pokemon of human desires, and of all the games the desires of the use of Groudon and ...big blue name I can't remember... are the two least shallow in the series.
For sequel material, it is the ONLY logical conclusion that isn't shallow as pineappleing "I want to beat 8 gyms in this area!"
Cool, let's take vague details in a plot, relate it to real life, and call someone out for not noticing said vague details.
Excuse me for not noticing said details about a game I haven't played for almost 10 years. June 2003 was a long time ago, and I couldn't give enough of a pomegranate about deep plotlines back then.
Honestly from what I remember, R/S seemed pretty poorly manufactured in terms of deeper plot significance. They only scratched the surface and didn't bother elaborating any further.
Maxie wanted to expand the land by abusing Groudon, Archie wanted to expand the sea by abusing Kyogre, both for the simple reason of "it'll be better lolz." As far as I remember, they didn't even appear anymore in the plot after you defeated/caught the beasts.
