>>40703406Personally I thought it was refreshing how Sun and Moon had the villain be insane rather than simply evil, trouble was we didn't get to see enough of the "real" Lusamine to compensate for the insane one she is for most of the game. All we get is a "dancing in the rain" story from Lillie and the "when did you start becoming beautiful?" line before Lusamine passes out.
Ultra Sun and Moon's Lusamine being a well-intentioned extremist was sort of a return to form for Pokemon antagonists, but her character was better developed and we actually got to see her a bit post-reformation. She wasn't as cruel as Sun and Moon Lusamine either.
But overall anime Lusamine is better developed than both the game versions, and never goes full villain, the most we get is her getting mind screwed by Nihelego's venom for a couple episodes.
