>>58531708The way Team Flare Nouveau acts reminds me of the last stage of genocide.
>10. "Denial": The perpetrators deny that they committed any crimes.As arrogant as Grisham and Griselle are, it's not hard to see they're coping. Nothing worse than having to accept your political ideology was the devil all along. Instead, pretend everyone else is to blame (Lysandre, Az, the intolerant society) while you were the noble ones all along.
Dunno if that was actually GF's intend to portray how genocide deniers think, but judging how their games are designed for brainless retards, they're more likely to send the message that extremists are le misunderstood good guys instead the other way around (not that it really matters, considering the simping for other criminal and questionable groups).
Basically, the more you think about any logical lore implications, the more fucked up this game and generally the modern pokéworld becomes. It's kinda funny how that makes Lysandre's doomsday plan look more and more reasonable.
