#bc the end credits roll after dialga/palkia

[goldensunset]

but like it’s still clear that the original end of the game was The end bc it was the first time it played and also that’s the point at which you actually unlock postgame stuff. and y’know. with how story focused this game is clearly the ending was always going to be saying goodbye to n

super super bizarre having them do the whole hall of fame thing and then playing the end credits again as if it’s the end lol. like it’s just wild to think that beating the champion is all postgame. nah man the story already happened lol. and i love that. i love that they broke tradition like that. i love that they made the official end of the game the point at which you say farewell to the central character after your conflict has been resolved and that’s why the end credits have such a like serious but energetic tone cuz it’s like lift your head high we’ll meet again someday!!! but it does mean it’s very surreal rn when you get all this after having just beat someone in a friendly match. much like in platinum
