    Were you happy with the plot in Black/White? I mean, it was certainly interesting, and was quite a jump from previous games, which really just followed a bad Team, and the hero beating them. But yeah, we pretty much had a story, with N and his ideals, and the legendaries involved in the plot. (well, they have been since R/S/E, but what you thought about their roles etc...)

    I'll post a little later on my thoughts.
     
    I don't know what to think about the end, although it was a twist from previous games I just thought "...ok..." about it. It neither appealed to me nor did it disappoint me. I guess I remain stoic about it.
     
    It was ok. It was nice and refreshing, while still paying homage to tradition. They could've made it a little darker and what not at parts, but being a game targeted at children sadly held back what could've been a fantastic story.
     
    I liked B/W's plot. The fact that N was Team Plasma's leader was a rather huge twist for me. It also had a bit of a darker mood than previous games because of Team Plasma.
     
    Yah, I liked the plot. Of course, they could have made it a whole lot more involved than it was, but again, it's first and foremost a children's game. I'd have liked to see further development for the characters, some motivation explored in Ghetsis' case (I don't remember there being any off the top of his head. Just 'I want to rule the world') and yeah, depth, depth, depth. The plot was a lot broader than previous games', with the scope being quite impressive, but it lacked depth, just like every other Pokemon plot.

    Ghetsis' motivation in someways was rule the world but to me he also came off like another god wannabe when he said he was perfection (Aizen much).
    As for the plot; I found it to be a nice spin on things and liked that there was a story this time and a character with an actual honest goal. Saddly I felt like team Plasma missed out on some of the action that teams Aqua, Magma, and Galactic had at the end of their plots as they didn't fight back against the player (though they were going to...).
     
    I thought the way Trainer N turned out to be a kid exploited by an elderly man was a very mature step in the Pokemon franchise (a good way though).
     
    I thought it was the best so far in the main series atleast (don't really play spin offs). I hope they build on it in the 3r game of the Gen (if it does eventually exist).
     
    I don't know what to think about the plot...
    It's really original, but at the same time I'm disappointed by the end...
    Also it's far-fetched, I don't think people could have this kind of ideas, and that Ghetis just tell us at the end something like "HAHAHA, I was lying, of course I don't wanna save Pokémon, I just wanna rule the world !", it's disappointing.
    Generally the plot was cool, but there were moments of incomprehension I think.
    Yet, and despite negative points, BW was a beautiful game (cinematics about the plot were just so great!) with a beautiful story.
     
    I liked the overall plot since it really was something different to what we had before, and the fact that it actually was a plot, whereas in past games... not really any plots. :x But yeah I'm a fan of the plot & want more plots along these lines in the future. :)
     
    Well, since this is probably the second attempt at a real plot for the main series games (I count Pt, but not DP), the plot is just really average in the end (unless you start thinking deep), but I think when it comes to supplemental information outside the games themselves, though... well, all that stuff that Masuda said blew a lot of people's mind and sometimes just plain goes into some sort of crazy dimension.
     
    I really like the plot. The lies that were told that actually persuaded the people of Unova and and secret revealed after the hero defeated N. I was even amazed that B/W are the first Pokemon games EVER to have an NPC that uses an Uber against the player.
     
    I liked it very much. Sure it left out a couple of holes (like N's long name...how the heck was he given that name?), but Black and White is a step up from previous entires definitely - plot was one of them.
     
    It was alright imo. I preferred it to other plots but wanted to see more (especially of the Shadow Triad and the sages in particular), and also some things felt tacked on without need. The castle at the end was fancy and all, but there was no hint to it. And mentioned that they got hold of the PC system and could access anyone's accounts? That could be a good plot in itself! Seems like a waste, imo.
     
    They're definitely on the right track. The plot was a bit more in-depth than previous games, but it was still lacking and left me wanting more. And then, when I got to the ending, I couldn't help but to stare incredulously at my DS and just be like, "Is that it?" I felt there were many things that weren't really expanded on, but I assume it'll be covered in the inevitable third game.
     
    I do like having two rivals: Cheren being the stereotypical rival of a game like Gary, Silver, and sorta like Barry. He has the attitude like Gary and is kind of a jerk, but is still a good guy who wants to be the best and is the main rival out of the two since he gets the starter that is element-wise better. Bianca is also a fun rival who is a little dumb and empty headed but is caring and does try. It's good to actually have a rival that you have the element advantage (she has the advantage over Cheren though and maybe made a good decision choosing hers second and to be the one better the Cheren cause she saw him as more of a threat cause of his knowledge). The first gym was fun cause both you, Cheren and Bianca has a disadvantage except when getting the monkey.

    N was a fun semi-rival/ semi-villain. He was like Silver cause Silver is related to Team Rocket (Giovanni is his dad) and N is a head of Team Plasma but Ghetsis is the actual leader. He has a good heart, but is confused and misguided which made him like an anti-hero. I hope he has a bigger backstory in the 3rd installment (Gray or whatever).

    Plus having it based in New York City was fun and I also like seeing all the diversity in ethnic groups. You had Italians (those guys in suits who wear sunglasses, mainly in Castelia City), Puerto Ricans (the female Rangers looked Puerto Rican), African Americans (Lenora, Iris, Marshal, male Psychics, Dancers, Football players, Basketball players, and male Backpackers) and other ethnic groups, and as an African American, I was happy to see that in Pokemon.

    I noticed that as well; I was happy that they put in more diversity into the characters in the game. The plot was pretty nice overall.     N's intentions were still destructive but understandable in a way. A love and hate relationship with his motives. I especially liked the part when all of the gym leaders came and helped out during the cut scene when you enter N's castle and face the sages. Around there and beyond towards the end, it almost felt like I was playing a Final Fantasy game. They came a long way and made a large number of improvements. I'm curious as to how the plot will go in the next installment. I was really surprised as how in depth the story was; I mean, it could be better and maybe to a number of people think it sucks, but I truly see a vast upgrade from the previous games.
