5th Gen Changing The Plot?!?!

I think it's cool, too, but I can't shake the feeling that no matter what you do or how you play, the story will end up ending the same. Like a path that splits in many places but ends up taking you to one destination.

I'm worried about that too, and thats what I meant when I originally compared it Mystery Dungeon series--your always asked questions that lead to a few forks but you always end up doing the same thing. It would be cool if at the end lets say N used Reshi/Zek to unbalance people/pokemon and failed, you could save him from being destroyed by Reshi/Zek or let him be eaten. Just a random idea...
 
I can tolerate a series of choices you might select in conversation--maybe nothing more than what I've seen in Golden Sun, but ultimately if the main character speaks on his own its a serious breach of RP etiquette. What if he doesn't speak like me? It's not an accurate representation of the player since vocabulary, vernacular and attitude vary from individual to individual. I've played a series of hacks by one one hacker and have found the contemptuous attitude towards authority and an overall smart alecky nature of the protagonist simply doesn't give me a genuine feeling of an RPG.

Any decision making in pokemon is really just best left to a YES/NO option.
that was stated so well, and is true regarding my thoughts on RPG's in general
 
i don't know if any body has said this yet, but you do say "Yes" and "No" in the games. a lot.
so you do "technically" talk.

but i know what the story will be....

boy/girl and friends take off on a grand adventure with a brand new pokemon obtained from the professer. you travel to the next town and back, and get a pokedex. you fight 8 gyms to get to the elite 4. along the way you put an end to an evil team trying to do bad things. then you capture a legendary and whipe the floor with the elite four and the champion. you might get to choose something that makes you do something during the main story, but your still stuck on that main path.
