Does anyone else think that Cyrus of team galatic is supposed to have asperder's syndrome? What the old couple in Sunyshore said about him sounded like he has it "He was a good student, but seemed to shun the company of others and preffred machines". I was wondering this for some time and I have asperger's syndrome so I thought maybe he was based on Satoshi Tajiri himself...
 
There WAS that theory that Tajiri had it.

Though, I highly doubt it. Would be interesting, though.
 
It just seems quite likely to me as acts quite logical in his actions all though he is a bit insane he said violence is illogical and he doesn't seem to care that much about his pokemon and is obessed with machines
 
I've got auspergers Syndrome as well, And I did not suspect Cyrus having auspergers syndrome until I noticed this thread and some stuff kinda clicked. I just thought he was one of those colder distant villan types, that although had good intentions (probably) would do anything to accomplish them. I always though a good plot after for the gnext 'expansion' and not remake, that they would have Cyrus return after finding out about a destroyer pokemon (Arceus's opposite), and using it to lure Arceus and later using Arceus to create another universe. Looking back on the game I kinda notice some similarities that me and Cyrus have.
 
I never really thought of that until I saw this. I always thought Cyrus was a lunatic but I like the idea of a main villain having a mental disorder.=)

For the record, when I was younger a doctor diagnosed me with auspergers but several others said I didn't.
 
Entirely possible.

But certain OTHER villians, hell no (and here I'm thinking of a Square villian who supposedly has "autistic traits" even though he never actually *shows* any of them. Of course, Square's "fact books" are half garbage anyway).

I think Jirarudan, from the second movie, is autistic too. That's how I write him in Obsession.

You guys just want to connect yourself with the villains. You're just finding similarities between you and them.
Click to expand...

So what? I have Asperger's, and I act kinda like Cyrus, only without being emotionless. I think like him (disliking people, being emotionnally distant from people), and I relate to him. He's the coolest villain in the pokemon series. I hope he returns in gen 5 (assuming there is one).
 
interesting, a villain with a mental disorder...finally pokemon has stepped closer to reality it seems
 
You know, I think he does have mental problems. "I gave up emotions". I mean, really! O_o
 
There isn't another proof, but I guess it could be possible.

One thing for sure, Cyrus is a different kind of person.
 
I'm an Aspie (God damn there's loads of us here.), and I honestly never considered this. It does make a lot of sense though. So yeah, I think he does have it. He acts a lot like I do in school when I go.
 
If it is so, it definitely explains why he wants to rule the world with his fantasies.
 
Looksie daisy.

I've always thought that Cyrus had an incident with Mesprit when he was young, but that is interesting. He was obsessed with machines first and then with creating a world, so maybe Asperger is why he is obsessed.
 
Maybe. But I always though of Cyrus as a lunatic with a lot of followers but only a few true believers (The Admins).

All he wanted to do was to purge the world of evil, but he realised the only way of doing that was to destroy it, and create a new one. And so, he tried to call forth Dialga or Palkia (Maybe in the third installment both) to achieve his thoughtful, yet twisted intensions.

I wouldn't really look that deeply into it. Pokemon's not really known for its complex storyline and characters is it?
