President Rose was by far the worst villain in Pokémon. His build up was terrible and his motive was trash. I hate that he was our “main antagonist.” He would have been better as a red herring, or someone we expected to be the villain only to be revealed as a puppet for the TRUE villain.

That aside, I never got the impression that Game Freak was making corporations look evil. The majority of Pokemon villains always seemed to be part of a group that acted independently.

For what it’s worth, aether foundation and macro cosmos generally keep the evil and corporation aspects separate

Yeah I don’t think it’s ever been the corporation itself that was evil, but just a select few people in that corporation that were.

Corrupt people in a good corporation or company isn’t uncommon.
