wasn't rose's problem that he was legitimately too retarded to do his plan literally the day after the tournament
so he ended up rushing ahead like a moron and then did some retarded coup that fucked everything up
instead of going into it with the full support of his friends and full legal backing

it was genuinely the dumbest writing, maybe the DLC makes it less retarded, I didn't bother to play past the base game honestly

he was genuinely not in the wrong, but he was a lunatic retard who jumped the gun and made himself a criminal for no good reason

most of the villains in Pokemon are merely retarded

Giovanni was just a mob boss, so he gets a pass, same shit with the admins who wanted to revive Team Rocket
Maxie and Archie failed their science courses at school
Cyrus was literally autistic, and not in a jokey way, he genuinely could not comprehend the emotions of others and decided to rewrite reality to suit himself
Ghetsis was a good villain, he tried to prey on the underlying "are we doing the right thing with Pokemon" sentiment but only to strip power from the masses, good plan, good execution
Lysandre had the right idea, but he also was willing to use a massive ancient death cannon to achieve his ideals

I can't remember what was up in gen 7 (crazy mom?), and I already mentioned gen 8

gen 9's villain was child neglect lolol
arven's parents are just bad people who were obsessed beyond reason
