Can I think of creatine as a phosphate holder/transporter? (lemmy.ca)

That seems to be what the complicated explanations boil down to.

Yes, that is pretty much what happens. The creatine can donate its phosphate to any nucleotide, so any ADP that is in need will accept one and can then donate it in whichever energy pathway needs it.
