I've always been meaning to ask because I agree. But can you go into the specifics of why you think he's bad?

"so sorry I couldn't be bothered to write this character I have overinflated to be important. And ruined any story potential they had by overcomplicating their role. Here's a half backed last minute addition that fixes it"

Oh and also CassidyVS just sucks and ruins the point of happiest day for a contrived reason.

Even though he is the ONLY outright answer given to the identity of the character. If less Cassidy VS people didn't act like Andrew being VS is some foreign impossible concept. And watered down all evidence pointing to it being him, we wouldn't be in this situation now would we?

You mean, if you write characters around a concept instead of slapping it on them it creates a better narrative? Oh my god.

No, he ran away and hid when things went south because he's spineless. And then his team split up which then carried over into the sequel. Where those still supporting him are just part of Neo Plasma, who are just full-on terrorists. I genuinely think you need to replay the game for a refresher.

Because majority of them aren't really that important? In fact, in the first speech he gave. People were like "Liberate Pokemon? What is bro yapping about" after he leaves. They didn't immediately agree like you're making it seem.

You and like half the cast of Black which again, includes the gym leaders, the professor, Bianca and Cheren, and even the champion are the ones who combat Ghetsis and his beliefs. So no, he doesn't have "Everyone" buying into it. If he did, there would be no plot or conflict because he already won.

You'd be surprised how many people buy into fake activism simply because they want to act like their self righteous. Which quite literally describes half of team plasma. And it's not like the question he poses has no basis. Pokemon abuse is a topic that has merit. But not the way he uses it.

If you're referring to N need I again remind you that this is his father figure who has raised him to think this way for year's. And if you're referring to the population of Unova, yeah them being easily swindled is kinda the point. Because real people who do this have it just as easy.

I have no idea why this is such a common argument. You the player know Ghetsis is bullshit, the gym leaders know Ghetsis is bullshit. It's only those who are easily swayed and people he's quite literally groomed (N) who he has total control over.

Cassidy fans have got to be the dumbest people I have had the displeasure of interacting with. It's so easy to clap back at them. Call me a jerk, but you try listening to people worship a blank sheet of paper like the second coming of Christ. And see if it doesn't start to annoy you.

He's a compulsive liar and abuser. Which goes hand in hand anyway. He understood how to stir a pot to his advantage. And for that, he's the smartest villain in Pokemon purely off the fact he manages to even cast doubt in people's minds. He's so good, seriously.

Ghetsis purposely made N king so he didn't have to the flake of his folly. And can easily dispose of N if he fails. Which he knew would happen because his team is made to hard counter N. Ghetsis gaslight the ever-loving shit out of his son, his operatives, and even tried it on the gym leaders.
