Pokémon’s Hypocritical Villain

Cyrus is the first GREAT Pokemon villian... Here's why!
Pokemon Gen 4 remakes are just around the corner. Pokemon Diamond and Pearl definitely aren’t the best Pokemon games and many fans will argue back and forth about whether you should love or hate them.
BUT, outside of all that, there’s the main antagonist of these games. Despite being a clear step up in terms of antagonists - especially when compared to Gen 2 and 3 - I don’t hear many people talking about him. So, let’s discuss the flaws of the human spirit and the hypocrisy of Team Galactic’s Leader - Cyrus.
Funny enough, even though the Diamond and Pearl remakes are my reason for making this video - it’s actually Platinum where Cyrus is fully realized as a character. The Pokemon enhanced editions often help to streamline and expand the story of a generation's initial release.
After watching the video feel free to leave any and all counter points in the comments below - I love a good discussion.

Pokemon Masters sorta confirms that Cyrus is the child off the family that perished on the Old Chateau. It makes sense now that he would have grown up in Sunnyshore being raised buy his grandparents and completely isolating himself, preferring to tinker with machines completely avoiding human interaction. It all kinds circles in on his nihilistic personality. He views spirit as something vague and incomplete because he has detached himself from from emotions due to the trauma he must have endured as a child. Going to the extremes as to completely destroy the world and create a new one without other people/pokemon is kinda insane though.

[@Carthu]

Yeah Masters is a BIT tough when it comes to “canon” so I don’t use it. Something that might deserve it’s own video at some point though!

[@NoahRicks1999]

The way I see it, leaders like Archie and Maxie show the tragic villain, the flawed human who thought what they were doing was good but actually caused destruction. A leader like Cyrus shows a lack of regard for humanity. Cyrus is a true narcissist who thinks the only one that matters is himself and he will do anything to achieve his selfish desires, even if it means murdering humans and animals.

[@rocketeer9183]

I dont think Pokemon does a really good job of making those villains. Theyre not really good examples of good intentions + bad execution. They just kinda have ham handed philosophies that are forced to fit with whatever mascot legendary they want to utilize, and these villains would make more sense if they established more overtly they were in actual cults. I dont think a human would ever come to the conclusions the gen 3, 4, 6, or 8 villains do.

[@Psyoid]

What always fascinated me about Cyrus was the impact he had on others in the story. From the way in which they spread little clues and tidbits around the region providing extra context to his actions and establishing him as a real person to those he interacted with all the way to how his commanders followed him until the end. Different media have portrayed him differently over the years, the anime made his arrogance more pronounced and turned that hypocrisy up to eleven. In that non-main series D/P/P Manga he was a lot more pivotal to the main characters development and in things like Generations it was... Mixed? While that episode of Generations was beautiful and they captured the idea of a completely emotionless Cyrus very well, I feel like they slightly misunderstood the character. Or simply decided to take him in a new direction. At the core of Cyrus is an immense arrogance, a belief that he, himself is the only one who can see in a blind world. While aspects like his possible relation to the Eterna Chateau and how he grew up spending more times with machines than living creatures, he came to a conclusion and stuck with it. Despite the fact that he weaponised the emotions he despised- despite the fact that he was aware that despising them at all was a contradiction- he used them to recruit his pawns. Presumably at least as the commanders were very, very loyal to him. The Pokemon Masters recent story arc was an interesting take, though like all stories told through Masters it was all very rushed and felt like an abrupt shift in character. And the Hallowed God Arceus special only doubled down on the admins borderline hysterical devotion to the man. It all paints a very interesting picture when you contrast it to the world that he was doing this all in, a simple thing I think a lot of people overlook is that the Pokemon settings aren't carbon copies of our earth. Yes, that's obvious but I don't think it really clicks in peoples minds how far these changes might extend. Their emotions come from a trio of Pokemon, their planet and universe was formed by a llama stuck in a fence and their society is built off of very passive and reactionary standards. Oh, sure, it's gameplay and tone restrictions but that doesn't mean it has no impact on the setting. I'd argue infact that ignoring that aspect of Pokemon, the idea that everything is solved through conflict involved of the titular creatures, is an inherent facet to any story involving them. Love, friendship and all those goodie-goodie things are given a shonen-like focus- the bonds between human and Pokemon. The bonds between human and human- and in other media the bonds between Pokemon and Pokemon. It's all very blatant and in your face. ...In spite of any, uh, implications such a world would reasonably present. And it's curious to see how even Cyrus is locked within that paradigm, I'm grasping at straws a bit there but for all his efforts to remove what he perceived as the one true weakness in his reality... He wasn't actually operating with the full picture.

[@theschnozzler]

Imagine commenting all of that just to get replied to by a scam bot

[@John-Stark]

Biggest reason why Cyrus doesn't fully believe in what he preaches... Is a certain 8 foot four winged bat he has as his Ace...

[@metaprimefandoms9763]

but Crobat is not his ace. Weavile is his ace

[@ShadowyKatz]

Honestly I don't think Cyrus is as unaware of his flaws as he acts; he knows what he has, and how it acts in his interest, and he hates every second of it. He has to go by himself to his new world; to bring someone else in, who is incomplete, would force him to acknowledge that part of himself. That even if he buries everything deep, and creates a supposedly flawless world, he's still bringing everything he has with him.

[@alexkumaratunga2834]

Its either Cyrus, Ghethis, or Sun and moon's version of Lusamine that are the best in my eyes. You guys decide who's the best.

[@nowelltheowl5619]

Okay let's all be honest, Giratina was absolutely terrifying. The whole time, it was about the 2 creation pokemon: Dialga and Palkia. Then we try to stop Cyrus from using them, but we're ultimately barely too late to stop him. Then all of a sudden, *the third Pokemon of creation appears.* Straight chills go down my spine. This is literally the Pokemon devil. Don't believe me? Giratina has 6 legs, 6 wings, and 6 c-shaped curves around its neck. 6-6-6, the mark of the beast. Pokemon Satan.

Cyrus is a character a lot of people tend to get wrong, and the way KZbinrs in gen 4 analysis and reviews characterize Cyrus usually feels off to me. However this is one of the better Cyrus videos, along side BJGvideos' "Why do I like Cyrus so much?" Granted that BJGvideo' is a much longer analysis, while Carthu's is good bite-sized content, serving two different purposes.

[@luckyinky7849]

BJG's video was one the best thing I've ever watched

[@guto5285]

Ironically the protagonist is also a "perfect human" that Cyrus wants in a way. Because he does not have emotion,inteligent or determination,he is the player puppet.

[@bluemariomedia8351]

Even then that not true. Without those three the protag will stand still... not doing anything at all. The players grant them these 3 to even progress in the story.

[@lannahuxel98]

Cyrus' story never made any sense to me while playing the games, but your video helped me make sense of it more.

[@usagifuyusummer6124]

I liked your video analysis on Cyrus as a character! You are right on the fact that there's rarely videos talking on Cyrus's themes, theories and motivations, even though he is one of the most well executed villain characters in the main series Pokemon games. That is most unfortunate in my opinion. Since right now, GameFreak is focusing on Gen 4, and I am suddenly remembering a lot of theories and speculations on Cyrus as a character in the games that I hope might get clarified in the Gen 4 wave that GameFreak is doing currently. I don't know how long Gen 4 is going to be focused on, but I hope at least the Gen 4 wave ends with Cyrus's character getting a development or answer of some kind. Like the Rotom theory. Is Cyrus the one to discover Rotom? Another theory, did he succeed on his plans to create a new world from the Distortion Plane? So, many theories, that I hope GameFreak could answer some of these before they move on to a newer Gen or remakes. Although, despite all that rambling. I enjoyed the video! The editing was really good, and I enjoyed the discussion. Even if it isn't too long. Thanks for sharing.

[@compatriot852]

Shame how terrible the "remakes" were. A proper remake could have better explored Cyrus' character and ambitions along with his underlings

[@luckyinky7849]

I wanted the gen 4 remakes to specifically see a development of Cyrus's character but unfortunately, we only got the a D/P remake, the version where Cyrus is the least developed, even his granddad doesn't mention him

[@VoidHearted]

Cyrus’s whole character is the fact he’s a very sad example of a hypocrite. He is an *incredibly* emotional man. But this fact about himself causes him distress. In Masters, Cynthia reminds him of his own humanity, and he is very visibly frightened by it. It’s honestly quite depressing. His very nature as a person disgusts and upsets him. He believes the reason for his suffering is the mere act of *wanting*

[@ajflink]

To be honest, I was like Cyrus....Not the destroy thus reality and replace it with a newer and less imperfect one. I did seek to cast aside emotions having been hurt and lied to over and over again. In fact, because of it, I still feel happier when I am alone. I see the logic to Cyrus' madness; however, instilling a desire to have others experience a tendency for emotionlessness is one of the unintentionally cruelest thing you can wish for.

[@evagarcia865]

something i realize with finding Cyrus is that it's never really done the same way as other bosses. Other times, you find them where they're doing trouble. But cyrus just... appears where he wants. You find Giovanni in Celadon, where rocket took over. Archie/Maxie in Slateport in the Oceanic Museum where there was a long line of grunts to get in. Plasma in Accumula trying to get people to release their pokemon, but we encounter N and the Sages more often, and much more in B2W2. Flare near that seaside town making a ruckus in a cave. Guzma because you go to Po Town. Piers because Yell's blocking the road to the city, and marnie lets you in.

[@TimeWizard727]

Cyrus is one of my favorite villains for his subtly and how I connected with him due to my own childhood trauma. Studying this arc of pokemon, it parallels the biblical fall from grace and the wrath against God tropes.

[@UnwantedGhost1]

The Gen 4 remakes should of kept the Cyrus the content from Platinum. As well as some preludes that'll come in Legends Arceus like Volo.

[@USSFFRU]

Another theory that sorta debunks the whole "lmao why does an emotionless guy have a crobat that evolves by friendship" theory is that to Cyrus, he necesserily wouldnt treat his pokemon horribly but that wouldnt mean he would treat them wholesomely. If you don't get what I mean, basically, in line with his whole "spirit must be removed" idea, he doesnt find it necessary to treat his pokemon horribly since in his eyes, it would be a waste, just like how treating his pokemon with friendship would also be a waste.

Ahh, Pokémon Platinum call me a nostalgic idiot, but that game will always bee the definitive game of Generation 4 for me on a side note, Cyrus´s hypocrisy is not entirely unnoticed by him either, he even mentions at one point that he hates himself and his incomplete spirit for being vague and illogical as a villain what has fascinated me in platinum about him was the impact he had on the world and his followers I began to sincerely feel bad for Team Galactic as the story went on he basically established a modern cult and even put their own propaganda together in the form of "the great dream of Team galactic" the Grunts were portrayed as moronic in a way but they were also strangely sincere in their frustration and despair, all the closer you get to the top of Mt. Coronet, they were really hoping, they would be rewarded with a brilliant new world, fearing to be tossed aside for their incompetence, not knowing they were essentially climbing and unending staircase with their luminous Godhead figure standing at the end who would cast them all down to hell as soon as he reached his goal and when he is finally gone, you can see how lost the Team becomes, they stray in all directions, begin to question their dream and yet there are the ones like Mars and Jupiter who, even though they witnessed the horror with their own eyes, would still devote the rest of their lives looking for Master Cyrus rather then leaving their past behind and live for themselves making them susceptible to the whims of wicked minds like Charon imagine how desperate these men and women must have been, to put their entire lives works behind that man whose goals seemed so lofty and unattainable

[@CGPTrainer]

In all seriousness dude, in hopes of a Potential DLC for BDSP (I think it sorely needs one). I've been making my own variant of a Distortion Episode (Like the Delta Episode in ORAS) where the focuses are on Cyrus, the Distortion World itself, and Shadow Giratina (NOT Original Giratina, I do mean Shadow Giratina). But in order to truly execute this in a way that would be convincing to the character on particular interactions, I was ready to dive deap into research regarding Cyrus' philosophy, and I think this video simplifies and clears it up almost perfectly. In my story I plan to have Cyrus utilized Shadow Giratina and the Distortion World itself to bring about his "perfect world", but is ultimately foiled and everyone calls out the futility and even the horrid consequences of his plan. I enjoyed watching this video as the presentation was done really well, nice job man ^w^

i know this video is a year old by now but! i’ve never seen anyone talk about the fact that cyrus basically set himself up for failure in platinum. he gives the player the master ball for seemingly no reason, allows them to release the lake guardians and also literally and intentionally lets the player run around and cause havoc in the galactic buildings. the way the lake guardians work, the three of them combined could quell dialga OR palkias power, and if you were to catch the other with the masterbl that HE gave them, his plans would be completly stopped. not to mention that he explicitly tells them not only where to find the guardians but also where his grand plan is going to unfold.

[@yangwenlifangirl]

I actually love Cyrus' character and his sense of Nihilism. I think he is actually the first philosophical Pokemon human character to appear in mainline games. I actually see him as a prototype to N's character in Gen 5. In DP's beta version, It is revealed that Cyrus has unused lines where he acts more friendly to the player than usual, and of course it was scrapped, I'm not surprised if developers wanted Cyrus to be originally to act like an anti-hero in the story rather than a wicked one but they kinda changed it and they move the anti-hero plot in Gen 5 in creation of N's character.
