Totally and completely loved the ending. Am I completely satisfied with it? No. While I thought it was an amazing ending, it would have been nice, as stated above, if the seven sages played a bigger role. Or if you could at least battle them.

I feel satisfied with N's backstory, you basically know all about him by the end of the game.

Though with me it seems like i'm never satisfied with the ending of stories. I feel like they should go on forever, let me keep imagining them. So, that's what I do. I continue the story in my head, though I tend to go a little of course...

This. I enjoyed the ending and thought it was good, but I wasn't satisfied with it. There was no closure, no "this is what they did afterwards" feeling, because you don't even know where N went, let alone what he's doing there.

Side note: I like how they give you the mission for the Seven Sages after you beat N. So many games are just like "the end, you defeated the bad guys", and you're left wondering what happened to them afterwards. While you're left wondering about N and Ghetsis, you get the satisfying job of rounding up the other 6 Sages and bringing them to justice. Kind of sad that Officer Jenny didn't do it though...

The ending actually fits. I mean if you look at team plasma the only evil individual was ghetsis all the sages and N thought they were doing right. So N leaving and the sages cooperating with looker makes perfect sense. I mean when you find out you were either being used or your ideals were wrong theres no reason to fight back

The ending was good for a Pokemon game, but I felt it lacked closure. We never do find out where N headed off to, or what his ambitions are after the fall of Team Plasma.

Battling the Sages would have been nice as well, whether during the course of the game or afterward.

I am satisfied with what I got at the end of the game. So N disappears. So you can't fight the Seven Sages. But that's alright. Of all the Pokemon games I've played, the ending drew me in till N disappeared. I liked that you ended up not fighting the Champion like you normally do in every other game. It gave an awesome twist. And at least you can go find and get the sages arrested in post game play.

It will more than likely be expanded upon in the third tie-in game...

I didn't really like the whole "PETA" feel of Team Plasma, along with their uniforms, and music... The whole thing with N never drew me in either, I just saw him as a spoiled kid wanting everyone to follow only his view of how pokemon should be treated, because that older guy with his own agenda told him it was right... Just like most people in PETA, 'cept with animals, and an old woman.

I thought the ending was ok, coulda have more to it, but then these things could be implamented into the third game, such as batteling N, Seven Sages, Gym Leaders and so on :)

...Yeah, that does make sense. Though that doesn't mean that's exactly how this story had to end ;)

@Naku,

So then what would you feel to be the next "chunk" of the story? (logically, no Shyamalan-esque "what a twist!" moments)
Not completely sure. Haven't had time to think up a little story for what happened after. Plus I think i'll wait to do that until I finish the post-game storyline too =P

But how much you wanna bet it will involve Hoenn and N?

I'm satisfied. Go, N, just GO ALREADY.
Your stupid ideas are completely pathectic,
and I have shown you that caring for PKMN will NOT
make you win as I have beaten you fair and square with
POWER.

I'm not quite sure how I feel about the ending. It was definitely the best of any main Pokemon game, but it also left me desiring something more. As others said, more interaction with the Sages (battles? More intense search?) Perhaps have N show up again at the very end, after the story (once you've found all the Sages,) and give some more information about himself and what his plans are. More could have definitely been done, but who knows... perhaps it's all for a future game.

I thought it was a great ending, usually you beat the last of the Elite four and go straight to the champion but instead you reach a great climax, With N who people feel sorry for, the last unexpected fight with Gen was quite Epic too!

I actually really like Plasma on this game, they seem to have a much bigger role to you then the likes of Magma and Rocket, they seem to be there right to the end of the story.

They are also by far the most unique too, how they go there way and stuff.

Gen is evil! O.o



Who thought the final story was you know, quite epic.


(PS Steven is still the best final boss, because he has a Metagross and Cradily)

Merged with the thread to discuss the ending, though if you'd like to discuss the story/plot, try this thread, since it covers the other part of your post. :) There's also a thread about Team Plasma's Scheme, too!
