>>49546803Why do you think he didn't show up at all in GoD as a Superboss, echoing what Red did?
It would LITERALLY be too amazing and subsequently dethrone Red's novelty, because Wes has an actual character beyond "silent protagonist" they could show.
Fucking imagine it. You purify all the Shadow Pokemon, make a name for yourself in all of the battle-oriented facilities, and then word of the guy who fucked up Cipher the first time being around again spreads, because he's looking for the kid that succeeded him and struck them down again.
He wants to see what you're made of, making full use of his own arsenal of Pokemon, and you get a special gauntlet where your teams both rotate, him bringing sets of his absolute best while you're expected to do the same, because there's genuinely too many Pokemon to skip out on that'd make for some good ass battles.
Can you fucking IMAGINE his final team, even? Umbreon, Espeon, Ho-Oh, and some combination of the especially powerful captures like the Legendary Beasts and Psuedos.
GameFreak and TPC absolutely stepped in and told GS to fuck off because they were already being outperformed in such a way that RSE didn't even remotely represent Double Battles in the campaign as well as Colosseum did.
