According to a team plasma grunt they are as strong as the gym leaders...which makes me want to battle them...

Your right! Also Plasma grunts are reliable. lol Yeah that is really cool but they were coward and just called more grunts. It would be cool if there was double battles between. Like you and alder or cheren have to fight three battles of double battles to reach ghetsis and fight him.

The only thing I could have wished for was a little more expansion on character. (maybe even battle them)

The again, I think Love and Peace (Concordia and Anthea) are more deserving in my opinion.
There was nothing. Followed by everything. Swirling, burning specks of creation that circled life-giving suns. And then we reached to the light.

The Sages could have had a more interesting role in all this. They do a good job of revealing some of the history behind Plasma and whatnot, but it's not enough. I would have loved to be able to battle them, would have made the search for them much more interesting.

Same thing with the Dark Trinity and Concordia & Anthea. I really hope all these characters get more attention in the third version, especially the trio and Sages.

It would have been nice to have battled them.

On a side note, those two girls who appear in the opening video and again in N's castle.....I've never seen such a fuss made over characters that have absolutely no impact on the story at all. It would have been nice if they did something and weren't relegated to being a nurse joy.

^ That is true - they're in the intro and then only ever turn up in the end of the main storyline, so I was a bit confused by that. I also agree that it would have been nice to have battled the sages, but oh well? At least they had some sort of role after the main game part I guess...

The six sages (not counting ghetsis) are all pretty similar. Although maybe if we saw them battle their sprites would look different. However I'd have to say my favourite is Zinzolin just because of his name.

I agree that the sages could have had a larger part in the story but who knows what kinds of events they have in store for us that unlock stuff like the back story of your rival in Heartgold and Soulsilver with Celebi.

Yea, I was really hoping that they, the Shadow Triad and Concordia and Anthea actually had more of a role in the story...

The Sages are supposed to be strong, equal in strength to Gym Leaders... the Triad never do anything but appear and drag you along to N or Ghetsis... and Concordia and Anthea appear briefly at the end...

But maybe they'll have more to do in the deluxe version?

Maybe if they didn't overly focus on N, we would have got more prospective on the other Team Plasma characters. Through out all the team Plasma schemes it all seemed to be about "Lord N". I agree we need more character development to the other Plasma higher ups. I mean when you hunt the Sages down why can't you battle them, and Concordia and Anthea being featured in the intro and doing next to nothing doesn't bod well with me. As for the Shadow Triad it would be neat to have them battle you with Ninja themed pokemon(or something similiar). I just hope we get some overall expansion with Team Plasma in the third version, and include the story behind Genesect as well.

Exactly! Why are they so significant if they only appear once in-game (excluding the intro cinematic) and only heal your Pokemon and tell you a bit of backstory. i think they should create a third game just to expand on them.

Anyway, back on-topic. I agree. the problem with the sages is not just that they aren't battlable, but they lack character. Take the executives in SoulSilver/HeartGold. Despite being bale to be battled, they (well, maybe not Lambda and Arianna to a lesser extent) lacked a personality that made you remember them. Similary, all of the sages seemed evil and didn't really stand out much. Heck, I wouldn't even be able to tell the difference betwee two sages, minus Ghetsis.

I was actually quite disappointed when i found the first of the, i really thought i had to battle him when i started to talk to him, but the the police dude just came and dragged him away :(

I think if we would have had to fight them before they would surrender it would have been a lot better, atleast i would have seen it as better.

The girls were pretty much Lord N's sisters and caretakers

And the story behind Genesect is it was a fossil pokemon revived by Team Plasma and they made alterations to it to make it the strongest pokemon (Like Mewtwo)
But N disagreed, saying that pokemon shouldn't be tampered with and shut the project down, but some scientists kept working on it in secret

In the Third Version, I'm hoping Genesect and Kyurem play more of a role
maybe after the Elite Four, it's revealed when N's castle crumbled, Genesect escaped and is hiding at the Giant Hole, and the Six Sages are there to keep it from escaping and you have to prove you're strong enough to capture it by battling all six Sages one after the other, and I wish that you could've captured the other Dragon Pokemon back at Dragon Spiral Tower, but since N took it with him....
