>>34215255Only Archie plan was stupid
Giovanni is a yakuza, all he wants is money and control. Not so deep here
Maxie wanted to expand land so humanity (and pokemon in RSE) would have more places to thrive. In RSE his methods were stupid as fuck tho. He didn't care what would happen to pokemon in ORAS, but he didn't want to remove or kill them or anything like that, and it's not like he completely wanted to get rid of water because everyone needs it. His plan would have helped everyone had it worked.
Cyrus was already dead inside and had nothing to lose, also he practically won when he got into the disortion world
Ghetsis was a narcissist and a sadist, and his plan really didn't put him in danger, he made sure beforehand he was in no danger hence why he tried to convert people to his cult and invested in research
Lysandre also had pretty much everything under control and would have successed if not for the protag
Not sure about Lusamine because she was being branwashed into becoming the mother of a jellyfish
Archie wanted to return the world to it's origin so it would be better for pokemon, except the fact that modern technology and civilization has not only helped pokemon themselves but there are pokemon born from it and pokemon who gave birth to both humanity and civilization so he would be shitting all over the work of several pokemon including the legendaries. There are pokemon not apt for surviving in the wild even less the conditions Kyogre would have created had Archie could actually control it. It would have also inevitably flooded areas, not all pokemon can live in the water or swim you stupid fuck. Archie's Emerald dialogue about how what they were trying to do in the end was so insignificant and meaningless for pokemon was spot on. Archie was acting like a stupid vegan who think bees dies when you eat the honey.
