>>54852500Cyrus isnt nihilistic, he wants perfection.
His plan isnt but reverse arceus, aka what arceus has already done to reduce existence to that.
His team is the team that colonized hisui and allowed humans to be able to approach pokemon
Lysandre also wants perfection, but unlike cyrus he doesnt see the problem at its root, rather at a more superficial, societal level. he would create a perfect society and in fact, even in this case, do what has already been done, either figuratively by arceus or by his ancestor that is the creator of kalos and of kalos society, and he had already been proven right, because AZ made that machine to deal with human wars.
Lysandre loves society, thats why hes a creator. Its also the reason he becomes the destructor.
It has nothing to do with money, its morals, basic morals too. And they represent politics, but not economical ones, and not american ones
Team plasma is chatolics. Team flare is fascists if not full blown natsocs. Team galactic are actually progressive people that force human progress and technology in other places, so yes laventon that is british is a reference to that, and it makes sense with him creating drugballs too, but Cyrus has nothing to do with that and is actually flawlessly moral, giving back existence what existence has done before him.
Also, Cyrus and Lysandre have ancient civ commander names, and in some localization Lysandre's name even references the Elysium
