What Happened To Every Pokemon Villain?

Who is your favorite Pokemon villain??

Cyrus died after 3 weeks in the distortion world due to a lack of food

I love how Archie and Maxie just become chill after almost dooming the entire world

I really do love how Volo said “it’s just a prank” and got away with trying to dethrone God

Of the many ways a villain can go out, getting nuked to death at the command of a toddler has got to be one of the most disrespectful.

Imagine getting defeated by a kid who got their starter Pokémon a week ago

I'm fairly sure that Ghetsis was also the only villan to actually straight up attack the player with intent to kill in Pokemon B2/B2

So, just a bit of an interesting thing, Pokemon X and Y actually are the only time a villain actually has a different fate in different versions. In Y, the Ultimate Weapon is powered by the energy of Yveltal, the Legendary Pokemon of Death, which means that when Lysander turns the weapon against himself it kills him. In X, Lysander's fate is actually worse than death, as the weapon was powered by the energy of Xerneas, the Legendary Pokemon of Life - which means that X's Lysander is now immortal and buried alive under tons of rock.

If we ignore the part where they wanted to destroy the world's entire biosystem, Archie and Maxie's situationship is lowkey funny. Also, poor Cyrus is so much of an introvert, he actually love the distortion world more than the actual owner of the place does.

If you played X instead of Y, Lysandre doesn't die but he gets eternal life and has to live as an immortal but crushed and buried under a collapsed cave.

Yeah, team plasma was disappointingly quite nerfed in the anime. I know a lot of that had to do with factors outside the anime’s control, but still.

The closest to a villain role in SV is the professors. They mistreat Arven, cause dangerous pokemon to appear in their world through their reckless research.

I still find it funny how Giovanni went from mob boss to Kang the Conqueror in the spam of 20 years

11:00 Lillie the Nihelego also got adopted, making Lusamine’s original goal of befriending nihelego completed in a much more non-damaging way.

Gotta love how Bonnie technically killed Lysandre. Truly amazing.

I always feel like the entire villain plot of Platinum could be avoided if Mars or someone just got Cyrus a lexapro or something

I think my fave of the bunch is Colress, but only bc I love the fact that they put so much work into a character like him, a scientist who is indifferent to the suffering of others, caring only for his research, there is no need for the ends to "justify" the means bc he feels no need to justify his actions in the first place, only for them to give him a head that looks like the internet explorer icon and rendering me entirely unable to take him even a little bit seriously LMAO

Honestly, when you lay it out, I'm more concerned for Cyrus than anything, like, the guy likes the distortion world and intentionally traps himself in Darkrai's nightmare, that's... I'm very concerned for his mental and will to live is all I'm saying.

Volo has to be the one I'm most curious about what happened to. He said he was going to conquer Arceus "No matter how many centuries it takes" him. To me that implies he had at least something in mind for prolonging his life, potentially to an immortal scale. I'd love to see him cameo in a newer game where he's lived all the way to the present.

Always had a headcanon that Archie and Maxie were holding hands and walking away off to the sunset together
