>>28746414Ah, come on. Read the thread and pay attention to the game.
Lysandre is like a romanticised Steve Jobs, complete with a Heathcliff like build and hair-do.
He made some cool technology that allows people to anything at anytime and he'd hoped it would lead to a new age of people being more proactive, getting out more and helping to make the world a better place.
However, people use convenience for further laziness (see: the real world) and so everything he worked to achieve was undercut by humanity and it's wretchedness. In the game it's also implied that Pokemon being used as tools is part of the laziness as well, you can incorporate how most Pokemon are based on cultural stuff but you don't really need to go that far.
The only solution is to refresh the world and begin anew, conditioning the remaining people to live in the way he had envisioned to begin with.
He has an ideology and wants so much good and people being shit denied him his dreams. He ultimately snapped and, being completely within his own ideas having been working to make them happen the whole time, seeks to see them fulfilled without any focus from outside of himself.
That's why Sycamore says he could've prevented it. It's important when you make stuff that you talk to other people.
I find him an incredibly empathetic character - I can relate wholly. He spells it all out, though, so I really don't get how anyone doesn't understand it outside of looking at the way audiences take in media hyper-literally and without paying any real attention.
