can someone explain to me what was lysandre's ultimate goal? I was playing x and I know he wanted to reduce the human population but how can he do that with xerneas who only gives life and not destruction.
I always thought the machines on his back were used for mega evolving Gyarados, like with the Mega Ring, because you need an object in addition to the stone and because he didn't mega evolve it until that point.
I gotta say I'm really intrigued by Lysandre's motives and the plot in general.
So Lysandre is aware that humans and Pokémon have helped each other flourish, and that they're great partners and that Pokémon are wondrous beings but he also realizes that that will inevitably lead to Pokémon simply becoming human tools of war and theft. So he's choosing to kill all the Pokémon for the sake of a better tomorrow? What? Lysandre wants to create an ideal world, without conflict or theft, without war or fighting. So he'll kill everyone he needs to kill for the sake of this world of his. Wow.
Definitely not a childish plot.
Lysandre actually cries before saying all Pokémon will perish.
So if Lysandre is trying to create this ideal world without war & theft, why is Team Flare full of egotistical criminals who only care about themselves and how fabulous they are? It seems like Lysandre's a bit of a hypocrite since his organization is basically the very thing he's against
That's the point, he equated people with the ability to get a large amount of money with the idea that they would be well established people. Remember Lysandre considered himself a good man and he was rich, he most likely assumed others like him were the same.
And on Kalos, yeah it is a nice place, for now. And Lysandre even says this, "Kalos is beautiful right now! There will be no foolish actions if the number of people and Pokémon do not increase. That being said, the future isn't decided. You can't be sure each day will be like the one before." And remember Kalos wasn't always so peaceful (remember the war where pretty much all of Kalos got BTFO, and that wasn't the only war Kalos partook in). "But the pokemon world seems full of nice people" you might say. We have 7 main games (including BW2) where there are evil organizations meaning this is not true.
But in the end, yes, Lysandre was a nutter. But so was Cyrus, Ghetsis, Archie, Maxie, and less so Giovanni.
I always thought the machines on his back were used for mega evolving Gyarados, like with the Mega Ring, because you need an object in addition to the stone and because he didn't mega evolve it until that point.
Do you think Lysandre will return? I hope so with eternal life hum? that would be epic.
I think the "using the legendary Pokemon's power" makes no sense in version X. I mean,Xerneas just gives away its energy during its lifespan then turns into a tree. What power would be left to use?
Motive wise, I see the difference between Team Flare and Team Magma. But what about asthetic wise? they both pretty much represent fire and intellegence?
And they all lived together in the house that Jack built! (sorry, I felt like I had to say it)Team Flare, yeah I fought lots of them in my games. They are led by Lysander, who is a friend of Professor Sycamore who wants to use the legendary life and death pokemon to destroy the world.
The organisation is almost nothing like Lysandre...
and they didn't even make the ultimate weapon
(which by the way, doesn't make sense in the X version because Xerneas, who supposedly powers it, is the Life Pokemon)
Their ultimate goal felt pretty similar to Team Rocket's, so nothing too new here really.
Also, why did they have to be called Team Flare? We already have Magma and Plasma (plasma can be extremely hot or extremely cold), we don't need another fiery team name.
I didn't care too much for team flare, it was like team plasma revamped..
