>>26457855>>26457864>>26457885I like the idea that most of the Flare grunts are there to metaphorically create a more beautiful world while also making cash when Lysandre literally means to recreate the world into a more beautiful one by inciting a genocide and the grunts have been drinking the Kool-Aid this whole time. It makes them seem more cult-ish than previous games' teams and that's why I like Flare.
BW Plasma, on the other hand, we're kind of a stupid team to begin with. They wanted to liberate Pokemon, but used and stole Pokemon to further their agenda? I know it's because you need to have a villain to fight through the game, but it just seems so contrived to have Pokemon battles against an organization bent on liberating Pokemon. Also, the fact that no one saw through Ghetsis' ploy until he ousted himself is just stupid.
