>>25104173I was mostly speaking about the GoD protag. The only questionable thing about Wes is stealing the Shadow Mons from the Pyrite guys. They might have been rough guys that did shove people around but that's to be expected when you live in city that has no way of maintaining order and is left to rust along with its machines due to the fact that the mining industry that was the main aspect of the city collapsed, leaving its inhabitants to fend off for survival.
I fucking swear, the Colosseum lore itself was so much more interesting than what the main games can bring. The simple fact of being a renegade that has a network of underground geeks helping you was much more fun than "normal Trainer in shitty town goes to adventure".
It's mainly the GoD protag that is idiotic. Do you remember the guy near the lighthouse that just wanted to "test his newly acquired Pokemon" with you? The poor guy knew nothing, had done nothing wrong, and expressedly said afterwards that he was missing his 'Mon.
