6th Gen Them Feels (in game story)

[WingedDragon]

Was anyone else saddened after AZ explained what happened "3000" years ago?


I know I was sad

 

[Pr3]

Mass genocide is always sad.

 

[Helios93]

What makes the story much more sad is the ending song for the game. Lyrics are just way to powerful.

There's no spoiler tag in the thread title, so I'll just format my insight like this to be on the safe side...

Spoiler:

The ending to this game is so elegantly done. AZ, despite being seen maybe twice before the endgame, draws you in and makes you feel bad for everything he's been through. The fact that he's something of a post-game boss despite being significantly weaker than Diantha makes the battle with him more about understanding who he is than a tense trial to prove yourself.

The music was also amazing.
Completely fits the theme and -for some people- would even bring a tear in the eye.
For reference, this is the song I'm on about:

I only felt that the story and theme made sense when I maxed out the affection lvl of my pokemon team. Otherwise, I wouldn't have understood why AZ believed fighting against you would make him love pokemon again.

 

[Molts]

I love how the story was so mysterious, and didn't take itself seriously. It was very dorky with weird clothes, then it got REALLY intense very quickly, felt awesome doing that!

 

[RedJ]

I dunno, I feel like the whole thing would've had more impact if AZ had appeared more than once before telling his story. Kind of hard to feel anything for a character whose had a total of one minute (if even) of screen time. But hopefully they'll fix that if we get a third version...although Pokemon isn't really known for its riveting storytelling, so it's not really a big deal either way.

 

[Ig Pokemon Lover]

I started to cry after u beat the champion when his Pokemon finally reunited with him it gave me tears. It made me remeber when i first reunited with my brother for the first time we were both crying.

 

[Z25]

I almost cried at the ending. The music to AZ's ending was perfect and while happy, it was also sad. The only game to make me cry was mystery dungeon explorer's of sky. I cried in the ending, bidoof's story, igglybuff's story, and the into the future of darkness story.

 

[Fieryy]

Irony is I been reading Dan Brown's Inferno just a week before Pokemon x release. And having played pokemon x and reading... Such a coincidence.

 

[Ribbon]

The ending was heartwarming. I shed quite a few tears actually. You see this is why I love pokemon, all those feelings that are put into a game. It's all so nice.

...That song is going on my phone.
