People say there's no actual villian, only antagonists, but I think it's definitely the original Professor Sada/Turo, the AI made it clear they were willing to destroy an entire ecosystem just so they could fulfill their desire of mixing Paradox pokemon with current pokemon and not care

i don't know why it felt so cool seeing the ai professors pulling out an infinite source of master balls out of the auto capture machine thing

I wanna add Raifort to the mix, since she is basically Naranja Academy's version of Briar, but for the Ruinous Four instead. She gave me morally dubious, self serving vibes. Like if this were a fantasy magic school novel, she'd be the one using us, the top student in her class and skilled mage, as a pawn to fufill her ambition when it comes to the legends. Honestly wish they did more with them, but hey, they almost never do with the extra legends.

I loved Kieran's character so damn much. The final fight between you and him felt SOO personal, and it felt like it was your DUTY to defeat him and get through to him! So good! :D

i like the fact that there arn't any evil characters in the game.. the true "villian" of these games are really Obsession

the true villain is the framerate

Briar had the best setup to be bad guy, introduced us to Terapagos, had a genetic direct connection to the most important npc in the game (that wasn’t in the game unironically ), she had a cool theme that could have had a sinister version remix… missed opportunity imo

The true villain is Game Freak for still not having voice acting in the games.

I really loved how all the antagonists was handled in Scarlet and Violet, i can't wait to see what they would do with a full on villain like Volo again in future game.

After seeing the heartfelt cut scene between Arven and the AI, my Mom became convinced that the consciousness, or spirit, if you wanna put it that way, was somehow transferred into the AI as they died and then went on to try and destroy their own dream after realizing the mistake they made, as well as trying to apologize to their son for neglecting him for so long. I think she might be right. Honestly, it does seem interesting if Pokémon really did pull a FNAF on us.

One thing I think is a pretty common overlap with these "villains" are their intentions and ambitions taking them too far.

Maybe the real villains were the friends we made along the way.

I would say all these “villains” would be classified as antagonists instead. I was kinda hoping Briar was gonna be the surprise villain that she was gonna catch Terapagos and her motive was to clear her family name after all the shame/humiliation Heath faced would’ve made sense. I’m happy we didn’t get a traditional villain in this game since it was an emotional journey. I do hope we get a real villain again in the next game whether it be another organization or a solo villain like Volo.

What I like abiut Kieran is the fact thay he is no longer shy and weak.

I think Paldea had the most wild and cool pokemon designs!! I really liked Paldea, and I'm exited for the next region!

The true villain is the frame rate and bugs

Does anyone else think it's odd that the grandma of pecharunt has her boweon the front of her Kimono (or Yukata, I am not sure)?

Great video

The professors are definitely the villains idrk why it's a debate. They share the same "my way is the best" theme as Archie and Maxie.

Brian was suspicious because she was the only who didn't help defeat terapagos
