>>33910282>Top TierGiovanni. He actually has clear, definable, and reasonable goals. His goals do not rely on the manipulation of fantastic powers or miraculous coincidences. Just the fact that people will pay money to keep their lives, and casinos make great fronts.
Colres: Hardly a villain, more just troublesome, the man is a die-hard scientist. He wants to see shit A, and will make it happen. The fact that he is so confidant some do-gooder will come clean up his mess actually makes him kind of endearing.
>Good tierMaxie: The right kind of Ecoterrorist. While potentially motivated by red dinosaur wankery, Maxie ultimately desires to expand the amount of livable space a region has. This wouldn't even be evil if he warned the locals first.
Ghestis: Has unreasonable goals, but has a concrete plan to get there that relies on things he can do. This is ignoring BW 2 Ghestis.
Meh Tier:
N: Motivated by ignorance, which makes him just look stupid.
Lusamine: Similar to N, except she's a bit shittier, since it is unclear the exact point at which Nihelgeo started fucking with her. Potentially lower.
Cyrus: Shit because he wants to destroy the world, but redeemed because he knows exactly why, and how he is going to fix it, and because he has a plan for afterwards.
Literally Retarded Tier:
Archie. Whether wanting to expand the ocean, or wipe the planet clean of life, his plan is needlessly hostile and homicidal. No human being benefits from his plans, even himself. He isn't even clear why.
Lysandre: There's having a shit plan, then there is having no plan. Lysandre's plan to exterminate all life, including pokemon, because a few people like him are dicks to pokemon is retarded. Lysandre's plan to hook an ancient cocoon up to an ancient machine that has no evidence of being used in such a way is retarded. Lysandre's plan to use an avatar of life to power a doomsday weapon is retarded.
