The Best Villain

Up until Scarlet and Violet, every game had a villain.

From the first game's classic Giovanni to Sword and Shield's chairman Rose that missed calculated the negatives.

Let's not forget the anime's Explorers or side games like Rangers and Mystery Dungeons, which also brought unique teams and characters.

With all these organizations and people within them, we are bound to find someone that we look at and go, "I like you!"

It could be for their ideals. You might hear them and be like, "Huh. Here's something I could get behind!"

Maybe you find them relatable. You discover their reasoning and what pushed them to this point and think, "I understand that. It's literally me."

Or maybe you meet them and are just say, "This dude's cool," and enjoy everytime they're on the screen.

Whatever your reason, who's your favorite villain?

I'm gonna skip the Sonia joke and the James mention. For me, it's Volo.

I find him relatable. He spent his entire life worshipping Arceus, following it like a religion. All he wanted was a little reckonition. Instead he got ignored. His need for reckonition became a craving for attention. A need for it. He continued to be ignored, so he found something that gave him the attention he desired. Girantina. So he used it to r1p his world apart. Instead of just looking at Volo, satisfying him, giving him what he needs, he sent some rando from the future. This just made Volo more crazy. More 3nrag3d.

I feel what he did was justified. I didn't go insane like he did, but I have felt what he has. I understand him on an emotional level, and he immediately became the best villain to me.

So what about y'all? Who and why?
