Nothing kills my motivation for stopping a villain harder then when their end goal isn't villainous.

    i think it was pokemon black/white where the villains goal was liberating pokemon from being forced to fight each other :deeper-sadness:

    when it came out i was friends with this dude and we were both rlly into pokemon. i mentioned that the villains of that game had some really good points and he would just relentlessly argue against it. we arent friends anymore lol, he grew up to be a right wing freak

      Usually Pokemon is surprisingly good with its "philosophy", but Ghetsis was basically an Ayn Rand villain.

      He was a bad person sure, but he wasn't really bad for his true motivations, otherwise he would simply be a Giovanni clone. No, he was evil because he PRETENDED to be good. Now that good thing he pretended to be is wrong.

      Sorry to hear about your friend, tho.
