@@xzzenitzus8980 id say lose a pokemon lol

If that's true then that's really cool, I'll check it out I my next play through to see if I pick up on it.

@@baranorak4080 Yeah, he's like the literal equivalent of a main series pokemon ranger and I live for it. In fact, he doesn't even catch the legendary pokemon at the end of the game, he convinces it to come with him instead. I would look up his teams throughout the game if you want to look into more detail about how they are themed around the area the fight happens. The funny thing is that I really didn't appreciate N as a rival until after I played the games and realized all of the little themes that they incorporate into his character building and backstory. He cares about the liberation and happiness of pokemon, then gets manipulated by his father and essentially raised into being the figurehead of this cult that ends up distorting his vision for them because of Ghetsis's influence. He's super dismissive of the lesser team members because of this and it almost seems as if he confides in the player at certain points because he has no one else who will actually listen to him as an equal. The whole development and splitting of Team Plasma between the first games and sequels is honestly one of the most complex theming tools I've seen in a pokemon game to date. It parallels like how a religion would split off into different denominations, and it's pretty cool that they chose to explore that in the region meant to reflect America. Also, the enslavement of pokemon was in that same vein a great idea to go into further detail about in the generation reflecting American cultures and history. TL;DR I love N and Team Plasma is cool too I guess.

In B2W2 you can also find and catch N's Pokémon in the locations you fought him in the original, double confirming that he released his Pokémon

Thomas Hofman imagine how the Pokémon would feel though, being caught again

@@chimneybill9651 I don't think they themselves would mind as long as the trainer takes care of them. N himself just doesn't believe in capturing Pokémon.
