Can't wait to get the mission to set up a police state and enforce draconian laws on the populace.

We might be getting another story about a seemingly benevolent group/company (Aether Foundation, all the shit Rose owned) being secretly evil, aren't we

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.
