>>56191962Go back to the day when gen 1 was all pokemon was. We had Giovanni as a villain, Mewtwo as a monster villain/antihero, and... not a whole lot else to work with. If you want a villainess you kind of have to invent one or heavily modify an existing character. The anime made Sabrina some kind of sadistic nutcase, and other people went along with it. Her Gen IV remake outfit definitely gave her even more of a bad bitch vibe too.
