Our Koraidon/Miraidon isn't an all powerful godlike beast - it's the less aggressive and weaker of the two. It has a personality and we get attached to it as we travel along - this is truly the most expressive a Legendary has ever been in the games. I love how the finale plays out - first, you battle the professor with their team of Paradox Pokemon, which are extremely uncanny valley. They look familiar and foreign at the same time and their types are completely different, making the fight intimidating. You don't know what they are and what they're capable of.
Then the professor's time machine locks out all Pokeballs except theirs, and the game waits a bit for you to intuit this and send out your Legendary, who is in one of the Professor's Pokeballs. The fact that they took the time and effort to explain that is miles ahead for a Pokemon game, which would normally just have plotholes happen with no explanation and you just have to accept it.
Since this is a Pokemon game though, we likely won't get to explore Arven's trauma and reaction to this turn of events. I mean, it's pretty damn messed up - his mother/father died a long time ago and were replaced by an AI. And he was left abandoned all that time, not knowing what really happened. I know he says he's fine in the end, but I'm sure he's still going to be percolating on that for a while.
I really like this little 5% of story they gave us. It's high quality, but there isn't enough of it. I don't feel Pokemon desires to explore their stories deeper than this. Which is a shame, because this sort of thing can take the series to new heights. I don't expect Final Fantasy amounts of story, of course, but I would like it to be strewn more throughout the experience instead of a big burst saved for the end. I feel Sun/Moon had better buildup for what happened with Lusamine, so I wish it was more in that style, but taken to a higher level. I want a better epilogue for the story than Sun/Moon, one that is satisfying and resolves loose ends.
I can't say what they'll do next regarding it though. The DLC could give us more of that information I desperately desire, as it will most likely be focusing on that mysterious hexagonal Pokemon in the crater. I really want to know the nature of the Paradox Pokemon too, particularly the futuristic variants. What happened in the future? Are these Pokemon extinct and these are robot replicas? Are they cyborgs and cybernetic enhancements are common? Either way, it paints the future in a kind of creepy and somewhat dystopian light, which I really, REALLY want to know about. For all we know, these Paradoxes might not even be from the past and future, and could just be products of the hexagonal Legendary's power.
