a horrible, terrible, awful, no-good realization
MALLEUS DRACONIA IS LIKE N FROM POKEMON BLACK/WHITE AND BLACK/WHITE 2 😭 They're both emo and green/j
Think about it:
Mullet-y hair (N's sort of resembles a ponytail but upon closer inspection he doesn't seem to have a hair tie or anything)
They have a legion of loyal followers
They are royalty (N is the "king" of Team Plasma)
They have special powers that no one else does (yes, I'm counting N's ability to speak with Pokemon here)
They team up with a legendary dragon to force the world to comply with their own vision (Malleus's OB is Maleficent's dragon form, N forms a partnership with either Reshiram or Zekrom depending on the version you play)
They see themselves as benevolent even when they're doing questionable things or using force to achieve their goals
They're lonely as fuck largely due to how they were raised in isolation and with the sole purpose of "ruling" over others in the future (assume that the senators are the equivalent to Ghetsis)
They act somewhat distant and are socially awkward/don't know how to interact "normally" with others
They have a limited views + understandings of the world until they actually go out there and are exposed to different points of view
They both have buttloads of yumes/j
I DON'T KNOW HOW TO FEEL ABOUT THIS REVELATION 💀

I don't even play Masters, but I can't wait for the part where Volo meets Ghetsis, it's utter loathing at first sight, and starts smacking him with the closest chair he can find.

I love when pokemon games use a character’s team to tell us more about them.
Take Ghetsis from black and white 2 for example. Did you know that his Hydreigon can use the move frustration at maximum power? frustration is a move that gets more powerful the more a pokemon dislikes their trainer, which means that Ghetsis’ Hydreigon literally hates him.
Did you know that his Hydreigon is also a whole ten levels below when the pokemon would normally evolve? While this isn’t uncommon for NPC’s in pokemon games, you could make the argument that this specific instance of it suggests that Ghetsis somehow forced his pokemon to evolve earlier than it ever would have naturally, which isn’t exactly out of character for him.
I’m not even done with Ghetsis and his affront towards nature yet lmao. Did you also know that his Hydreigon is specifically designed to counter N’s team? Y’know, his own foster son.
It has dragon pulse for his legendary
Fire blast for his Vanillux and Klingklang
And focus blast for Carracosta, Zoroark and Archeops
He also has a Cofagrigus who can nullify the legendary’s ability with his mummy ability.
It’s very likely that no matter the outcome of N’s battle with us, Ghetsis was always going to turn on his son to take the dragon for himself. And looking at his team I could believe he would succeed.

Let's look at a slightly more recent example.
In pokemon sword and shield, chairman Rose actually does some preparations before waking up Eternatus, specifically it seems that he did some research into Eternatus’ typing (Poison/Dragon) and designed his team to counter it. He brought a full team of steel types to fight it, which are not only immune to poison but also heavily resist dragon as well. With everything he knew, it really was one of the smartest choices he could have made.
But if he was so prepared then how did Eternatus wipe the floor with him so quickly? Surely he could have easily defeated the legendary and capture it himself right?
Well there was one thing Rose didn’t take into account when designing his team. One thing he couldn’t have possibly known, even with his extensive research into the creature.
Eternatus knows flame thrower.
He brought nothing but steel types.
He never stood a chance.

A new Pokémon Masters trailer just dropped and I can't help but love this chart showcasing the relationships between the villainous teams. Everyone wants to kick Giovanni's ass but then we have N and Colress with Ghetsis.
''We need to take down Team Rocket but after that? You are next.''

Team Leaders (/assorted main villains) version! Obligatory Penny and Piers are only counted because they're the leaders of the "antagonist" teams, tho they're not really villains themselves.
Cyrus generally gets about 3hrs of sleep a week on average, when he actually does sleep, he could sleep thru the end of the world. It makes a road trip with all these other idiots bearable.
Colress mostly doing the "Are we there yet?" to piss Ghetsis off. He stops after they leave Ghetsis stranded.
