How I see Lysandre
The most common complaint about Lysandre is that he lets the very greedy people he hates into his team, or that he’s greedy himself and being a hypocrite. Now, here’s how I see it: Lysandre doesn’t hate greedy people, he hates GREED. Greed is caused by people wanting more. But there’s so many people that there’s not enough for everyone. So many people who always want more power, more money, more more more. Including himself. So he wants to burn it all down. The only way to rid the world of this greed by destroying everything that causes it: like Pokémon. He thinks that HE could run the world better. That he could do it all RIGHT. Hubris. Trash this virus of humanity and turn it to a new world where no one has to fight because there’s no need to. When he’s beaten by mere children his hubris causes him to make one, last, wild attempt to do it, and he is buried awaiting a new world.

I always understood the villain in the pokemon games 3-6. I understood Archie for wanting more space on land. I understood Cyrus for wanting to start a new universe. But the person i can sympathize with the most is N. He wanted to make a new world without humans. No one to tell them how to live. Its honestly poetic that our character is standing for the good side in a society. And the bad part is where the so called villains see flaws. Big ones. It reminds me of a quote. A hero would give you for the world. But only a villain would give you the world

That's a good quote!
I often understand the villain and take their side.
The one I sympathize with is Volo.
He worshipped Arceus his whole life, but was ignored. He just wanted acknowledgement. It pushed him to insanity, where he met the darkness but recieved the attention he needed.
He will always be the villain I relate to best.

I just made this because Lysandre's story was my favorite and I feel like everyone gets it wrong. So this is just how I think Lysandre was meant to be seen

Nah, that's about it. Basically my main point is not greedy people, greed itself.

I think his plan would have been better if he just decided to wipe out all of humanity. Yet, he himself has so much of the greed he hates and couldn't handle that idea, so he decided to just minimise the amount of people on earth and remove all Pokémon.
