>>45356247>And the fact that the Pokémon world is portrayed as nothing but an utopia also undermines him.Not that guy but you're wrong about this for 2 reasons: -team- grunts wouldn't exist if the world was an utopia. Many join, and this is especially true for Skull, because they are reject of society and find it easier to do evil. The second reason is presented to you by the game itself in Lumiose. If it was an utopia then a girl like Emma,with no money for food or even a single Pokemon that has to get protected by her Espurr and children younger than her and eat from the trash shouldn't exist.
Lysandre is expanded on in the anime: he was a benefactor and helped thousands of people with their lives. He wanted them to also help others but of course his desires weren't going to happen and people started asked for more and more and more and more without qualms. He had enough. He is also right in the fact that Pokemon are the most dangerous thing on the planet.
