>>47330348Rocket's a classic and Plasma would be pretty good if it wasn't for the weird hood, but really, can you really ever beat the Flare drip? Wish they'd been written more competently, they seem like the biggest saturday morning cartoon goons out of the entire franchise.
A group like the Rockets you can understand, Italian Mafia, organized crime, scary. You can rewrite them or see them written more competently in grittier fics, get turned into proper antagonists. Plasma and the Hoenn gangs are activist gangs, they employ extreme methods, whatever. Galactic's a cult, and both Skull and Yell are street gangs. Flare though?
They're a bunch of manipulated trust fund kiddies and fashionistas. How can you make that work? How do you even begin to turn them into proper villains? Any insight would be appreciated.
