"Question: Should N have Reshiram or Zekrom?"


I want to ask this question since I've been curious about this for a while: which legendary should N have? Reshiram or Zekrom? I know that already this is a difficult question to ask since N ends up with the opposite legendary to the one you get, which means if you choose White or Black as you're first Gen 5 playthrough, the decision is made for you already. I mean from a character perspective, which one fits N's personality and character arc the best in you're opinion?​For me, I choose Reshiram, partly since White was my pick when B&W came out (i love Zekrom), but it's a lot more than that. Firstly, the design. it's no secret that Reshiram has a far more feminine design compared to Zekrom, which I think fits N very well. N is not like the player, he's more soft-spoken in nature (barring the few moments of fierce determination), more analytical, seems to think more than act. Secondly, Reshiram's battle style (as a special attacker) would fit more into N's more careful, calm demeanor. which differs from Zekrom (a physical attacker, which is naturally associated with active fighting). Finally, as a character.​I think the reason people pair N with Zekrom is because his plan to separate people and Pokemon sounds like an ideal. that he wants to create his ideal world where Pokemon are no longer hurt. But I think it's the opposite for one simple reason: Ghetsis. The whole reason Ghetsis adopted N was so that he could be molded into having that opinion, to use him as his weapon to conquer Unova. Essentially, if N was more like Ghetsis in personality, Zekrom would fit him more (Ghetsis' party in both games do contain a few physical attackers. also Zekrom and Ghetsis both have red eyes). However, N isn't like Ghetsis. he's quieter, empathetic, fitting Reshiram better. But I think it goes even deeper than that. (EDIT: let me clear things up a bit in case this part is unclear: in the case of N, Zekrom would represent the N that Ghetsis is trying to create. the King of Team Plasma, the leader creating a new world where humans and Pokemon are separate, which were ideals fostered by Ghetsis through bringing N abused Pokemon. With Reshiram representing N's true self: elegant, analytical, with a burning passion.)​In having N chosen by Reshiram (the pokemon of truth), it correlates to the philosophical meaning of truth and N's character arc. In our real world, the truth is constantly evolving, constantly changing. What we accept as reality can be altered tomorrow. Hundreds of years ago, it was considered "truth" that we were the center of the solar system. It's natural for the truth to change, which connects back to N. N's entire arc is about changing his perception of the world, realizing that humanity isn't all as cruel and heartless as he was taught. Contrasted by Hilda/Hilbert, who is accepted by Zekrom by not compromising what they believe. holding on to their ideals: that humans and Pokemon are at their best when together. the difference and similarity can be found simply in Zekrom and Reshiram's secondary typings: Electric/Lightning (that which will always go into one direction, despite being able to branch in other directions) and Fire (able to grow and evolve into completely different shapes if properly fed).​But that's just my opinion. I'd love to hear everyone's thoughts about this topic in the comments. Just remember to be nice about other's opinions, ok? The best part about discussing this topic is that, even if you choose one, there is still evidence supporting another interpretation. There is no definitive answer, I'm just giving my interpretation. via /r/pokemon https://ift.tt/33wFRK5
