>>22046695It's especially weird since, as said before, Archie and Maxie had the most noble goals, they truly believed that what they did was for the benefit of the world, and repented once they saw the error of their ways.
Here, they leave their subordinates to die, kick Pokemon for being ugly, wanted to just kill everyone and basically lost any motivation they ever had. Why did they even team up in the end if they both said they were gonna kill each other?
I heard some people say that that was because of the corrupting influence of the orbs, but still, they were evil even when they didn't have them.
Other than that, I have no complaints about character derailment.
