>>58107096>Giovanni. Because his motivation is quite mundane.I agree with this for pretty much the same reason. He doesn't have some cartoonish motive like "flood the world" or "dry the oceans" or "create a new universe," he's just a simple crime boss, and there's something appealing about that. Also, "Giovanni" is a fucking genius localized name.
Honorable mention goes to Ghetsis for the cool musical theming in his name, the detail told through game mechanics that his Hydreigon hates him (presumably because he mistreats/abuses it), and his permanent injuries (probably caused by that very same Hydreigon), although Masters did kind of sour that last point for me by showing that his right arm was still attached to his body. I always liked the idea that it just wasn't there, especially with his USUM model outright not having it modeled. The idea that his arm was torn clean off because he decided to piss off one of the most powerful Pokémon in Unova was just metal as fuck.
tl;dr I like Giovanni because he isn't cartoonishly evil, and I like Ghetsis because he is EXTREMELY cartoonishly evil, but done in a really cool way. But I wish they went all in with the detail of his "missing" arm.
