>>51204204Remember when Lusamine was a legit narcissistic psychopath, and actually had depth as a character? Depth as a villain?
Remember when you got to see how her two children dealt with their upbringings?
Remember how she groomed Guzma into doing her bidding, making you feel a bit bad for him when you see the shitty crackhouse he lives in and how he was being manipulated out of infatuation? How you actually wanted to root for 'ya boi'?
Remember how they took Lillie and shipped her off back to Kanto, so that the ending could be bittersweet? Implying that there was a world out there beyond you, and characters would act according to their own interests?
Remember how GameFreak retconned all of that for USUM? But, hey. Now you could surf on Mantine. So that's something, innit?
