Why do the villains have more of a backstory than the main character?

Because the main character's current story is their backstory.

no one is born evil, it's interesting to see the events that happen in someones life that makes them who they are

Because the main characters are 10 and just want to travel the world. The villains need their motives explained and are older.

because they want you to sympathize with Jessie and James and understand they are truly not evil well at least James just does it because he doesn't want to get married and prefers the rogue life. you are suppose to already like Ash because muh protag.

The movies are almost never mentioned in the main series. Makes as much sense as Ash knowing Serena way before they meet.

Because villains are static. Their only hope in getting character growth is through a backstory.

In contrast, the hero has a chance to have many opportunities for growth.

...okay? You know that "inconsistent" and "sad" have nothing to do with each other, right? In fact, James' and Meowth's backstories are also inconsistent.
