Ok, I like Lysandre but I'm completely befuddled by this last scene with him. ....Why the fuck does he come at you with a backpack attached to robot bees? That no one even mentions or brings attention to? Whats the purpose of this contraption? Its so silly. He uses mega evolution...does it have to do with that?!

I was seriously disappointed with the ease of that fight, if they are going to pimp him up that much, it least throw pokemon that don't die in one hit from the legendary that you were forced to capture>fire/dark team >not giving him mega houndoom

He should've had team close to E4 team's levels. I don't care if you had to fight him before you're even close to actually getting to E4, they should've finally made the villain have a really strong and overpowered team.

I think it had something to do with forcing Gyarados to Mega Evolve, because he didn't have the bond with it to do so naturally. The only reference to it in the text is Shauna asking what's up with the outfit, and then brushing it aside to tell you to save the day.

This is what came to my mind when that scene happened, but I guess it's not that similar when you look both things next to each other.

It was probably a prototype version of the Expansion Suit. He donned it to steal Xerneas/Yveltal back from you, and it was the virus that caused his Pokemon to suddenly gain levels despite you just fighting him.

Do you guys think that the expansion suit is going to play a bigger role in future pokemon games?

Speaking about that suit, the story was rather inconsistent quite a few times, like they had to redo parts of it in a short time. Everything about Diantha, or Xerosic not recognizing you, it just felt off.

DESPITE the weird doc ock thing, Lysandre is wearing a Mega Ring the final time you face him, someone screen capped the ring on both of them.
And about the "Only one" thing, he just meant 1 ON HIM at this time. it probably just means I needed to make more, which is partially proven when Serena interacts with him later and gets her ring.

Would Lysandre have let you join Team Flare without paying the 5 mil? That's what he implied the first time you fought him, wasn't it?
Anonymous
>>15361123 It would technically be possible to get 5million by the time you first meet him by getting a Zigzagoon or Combee and collecting random Pick-up drops and Honey to sell until you have the money but even if someone was autistic enough to carry that out I'm sure it wouldn't lead to anything.

Well OP, in Japanese games and anime, bosses always need to have a "final form". Because the Japanese have loads of fun and creative ideas when they make stuff but NO TASTE whatsoever, they tend to go completely overboard, often incorporating cultural aspects that are foreign to their country and that they don't really have an understanding of or feel for. This encompasses halos, angelic wings, gothic architecture, hair colors other than black, large breasts and other things they only really know about from seeing it in imported western media. Couple this with their need for complete and unbridled melodrama in absolutely everything they produce (sersiouly, watch Attack on Titan and count the number of dramatic silences and emotional outburts in one single episode), and you get stuff like an impossibly spiky haired ginger man in a cravatte wielding doctor octopus bees and cybernetic ray bans. It's a bit like if every movie ever made in Hollywood ended with the bad guy transforming into a huge, gross exaggeration of a 1500th century samurai, shooting ninja stars out of his eye sockets and playing the shamisen while citing ancient shinto buddhism scripture with a broad American accent. As i westerner who lived in Japan for a long time, let me tell you that it gets very exhausting very quickly.
