[quote]Story[/quote] I'll write a brief overview of the story without spoilers, then I'll have a marked spoiler section at the end. The premise of the game is that God sends you back in time to live In Another World With Your Smartphone. Yep. The game takes place in a period before People and Pokémon began to live in harmony. Pokémon, being the badass mystical bringers of death and destruction that they are, terrify the sh[b]it[/b] out of the feeble, helpless humans that think they have the right to claim the world for their own benefit. People often go out into the world and get their asses handed to them when they inevitably step into the wrong Pokémon's turf. Naturally, as the only person with any balls (literally and/or figuratively), it's your job to go stuff Pokémon into tiny capsules and study them to show the rest of the people in town how cool you are (and what little cowards they are). You're tasked with the creation of the [i]first Pokédex[/i], a task that you have no choice but to accept if you don't want to be exiled into the wilderness to become a luxray's midnight snack. As you make progress in the Pokédex and quell some frenzied boss Pokémon via Dark Souls dodge rolling them into oblivion, you work with some other people to uncover the mysteries behind a giant space-time rift that tore open the sky above Mount Coronet. [spoiler]Hint hint - it probably has something to do with the Space Pokémon and the Time Pokémon that were featured in the game this region was loosely based on. Just a hunch.[/spoiler] The characters are underwhelming tropes with very little to say that actually holds importance, the tutorial is even longer and hand-holdier than normal, and there is no clear antagonist until the end of the [i]post[/i]-story story, which reveals an antagonist that just felt like they were doing bad things because the game didn't have a clear antagonist. It was just the typical last second "AHAHAHA, YES, IT WAS I! MY MACHINATIONS LAY UNDETECTED FOR YEARS, FOR I AM A MASTER OF DECEPTION!!!" (-ProZD). The character really had no reason to even tell you, either, it just felt kinda forced and arbitrary. Alright, spoiler time. Read on only if you don't care about who the bad guy is in the "big reveal." [spoiler]The bad guy is Volo, the merchant dude. He somehow "fed Giratina power" through means undisclosed to us so that Giratina could rip open a space-time rift and piss off God in hopes of letting Volo meet and subjugate it. Volo wanted to use God's power to remake the world how he saw fit. Boring. His only motivations are undisclosed "hardships" in his childhood and a desire to meet God because he learned that he possibly exists? He didn't even need to tell you that he was the bad guy, he could have just asked you to borrow the plates to read them like he did several times in the main story. Instead, he chose to be all "Haha I was evil all along, hand over the plates or I'll make you." Dude, our character has no reason to doubt you, he let you borrow them to read them multiple times already. You could've just asked nicely and subjugated God. Instead, you challenged the [b]literal only other trainer in existence competent enough to beat you[/b] and got your -blam!- kicked. Idiot plot. Ugh.[/spoiler]
