i love how everyone went from "goofy ah villain lmao want to blow up kalos" to "holy frick you are insane" just because he actually did it

[@youtube-kit9450]

Honestly sad that one battle in USUM made Lysandre an actual popular character because his base games just so completely failed at character building for any of the characters. X/Y definitely suffered from not having a third version that cut the fat and focused on the good.

What I like about Lysandre in this game is that he seems to be the only team leader who has been changed by the fact that he has achieved his goal. It's really obvious that he's gone off the deep end, and the smile in his battle intro is such a jarring difference from his intro in X/Y, where he turns to face you with nothing but cold contempt in his eyes.

[@Bismuth83X]

Something I noticed about Lysandre's name: In Japanese, it's Furadari, from "fleur-de-lis," a symbol of France, and while the name Lysandre DOES reflect that, there's also a second layer of meaning to his name that one could say was found in translation: His name comes from the prefix "lys-," meaning "destroy" or "break," and the root "andros," meaning "man." Lys andros. Destroyer of man. And his goal is to commit genocide. The combination of meanings is brilliant: At first, he's a well-respected figure who's seen as a hero by the Kalosians ("fleur-de-lis"), but then it turns out he wants to kill everyone except a specific group of people ("lys andros").

[@Woomyko]

There's more, the "fleur-de-lys" isn't just a symbol of France, it is the main symbol of French Royalty in history, which also fits Lysandre well since he is a descendant of the royal family of Kalos if I remember correctly.

You know, people may haze Team Flare for...well, everything. But they did lead many successes in their plan leading up to the climax. So you beat the members raiding the power plant? They still stole enough electricity for their goal. So you cleared them out of the Poké Ball Factory? They still got all the Poké Balls they need. So you kept them from catching that one Abomasnow? They can still get a lot of other Pokémon to make up for that. Considering their plans only truly fell apart when three Trainers pushed through their final resistance and woke Xerneas/Yveltal out of the Ultimate Weapon? Lysandre was pretty dang close to succeeding. Only a final push led by our player characters could truly end his plans.

He’s the only boss that dies. In X, he becomes immortal but in the midst of his transformation, is crushed by debris in his own base. In Y, he tries to kill you, but to no avail and eventually backfired his machine, killing himself in the process due to a large explosion. It’s terrifying that he is dead, but with X and Y soon to receive remakes in the next six to nine years, we may see him in a new light.

[@Mr._Sherwood]

Idk man, Cyrus was pushed to nihilism and emotionlessness out of his family's unreasonable standards, making him believe emotion was weakness. Lysandre... Wants to genocide everyone he considers less than perfect and his posse are just glam Nazis. Like, don't get me wrong, the man is INTENSE as far as villains go, and he's really intimidating, but Team Flare in general are just really hard to take seriously. The grunts look ridiculous, the skinhead admins are just barely elevated grunts, the named characters with the goggles all just melt into one another and I can't remember any of their names, Xerosic is alright but he's the outlier. It's one extremely scary man and a fairly good mad scientist surrounded by an entire circus. So, hey. At least Lysandre was cool.

[@nplife9771]

One thing I always found ironic about Lysandre is not the fact that he's obviously a villain and yet no one can tell, but also the fact that his character is definitely based off a certain man in history, Adolf. It may seem like a random coincidence as many villains are based on Adolf, but I think that Pokémon MEANT to make him be based off Adolf. The goal of Lysandre holds a striking resemblance to that of Adolf's goals. Lysandre's goal is to "create a perfect world in which only a select group of people are allowed to live." Lysandre also wished to commit mass genocide against everyone he deemed imperfect. Adolf's goal was to eliminate everyone who he deemed to be imperfect, (this includes groups like the Jewish people, Black people, Soviets, Polish people, Gay people, etc). As this may be seen as a mere mistake by the Pokémon company, I think that they meant for Lysandre to be Adolf. The biggest reason I think this is because Lysandre created a device that would help people of Kalos communicate with Holograms. Lysandre could have chosen ANY name for the communication device like maybe the "Holo-Com," or something like that. Instead, the name he came up with, was I kid you not, the "Holo Caster." This name strongly resembles that of the horrific event that killed Millions of people, that was orchestrated by Adolf and the Nazis. Compare the two words; "Holo Caster," and "Holocaust" and tell me that Lysandre is not based on Adolf, and that team Flare is not based on the Nazis. Now imagine this. The version of Lysandre in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon was successful in his plans. This would mean that he killed the population of Kalos that he deemed to be "imperfect," and killed them without a second thought. He also plans to do the same thing to the people of Alola. Lysandre also came into power after the great pokémon war. In the years of 1914-1918 (WWI), the war was referred as "The great war," because people doubted and hoped that there would never be another war as big as the first war. Since Lysandre is killed, the second world war is prevented, BUT since the version of him in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon was successful in his plans, this would mean that he perfectly executed his plans, and started the second World War (or the Second Pokémon War), and he won it. That is a feat that even the Nazis and Adolf could not accomplish. Taking all this into consideration, I think Lysandre is based on Adolf, and not only is the Pokémon company well aware of that, but they also made a pun based on a tragic event in history. Well played, Pokémon.

[@SkellyHertz]

I think this is one of my favourite pokemon boss songs: it starts off like your standard JRPG boss music, with the orchestral beginning, but then it kicks into high gear with the harsh synths and electric guitar and artificial chorus. It really strikes me as the perfect theme for someone who exudes a veneer of class, under which lies a twisted core of obsession, sadism, and sociopathy.

[@Heusos]

I don’t understand why people dislike Lysandre. I feel he is an excellent villain, for his sheer ruthlessness and absolute nihilism. I do feel they could have expanded on his role as the creator of the Holo-Caster and a major technology mogul in Kalos. Hopefully GameFreak can remedy this if they ever make a Pokémon Z.

[@josephrasche7194]

Because he's a *moron*. In theory, I could see him being a good villain with his same general goals of preserving beauty and eliminating the selfish... except did you *see* his team? He'd have accomplished his goal far better by collecting Team Flare in one place and turning the weapon on *them*.

X/Y needed a third version to iron out all the issues so much. Gen 6 shows how much a third gen is important to the reception of a gen, cuz holy shit D/P are trash compared to Platinum, and BD/SP are trash compared to even Platinum. Gen 4 is one of the most well-loved gens, but that's only because platinum hard carries the gen. Look at how just a theme remix and a very, very slight tweak of the villain's personality (he reached his goal) made both the theme and the villain just insanely memorable in the zeitgeist and just shows how much X/Y needed that third version holy shit.

[@dandazed5846]

Splody Bros *BLASPHEMY*

[@lyonvensa]

I feel Lysandre is actually a villain with the most 'depth' compared to the others. What he wants is a world with no war, and in his eyes, a 'war' happened because humans are naturally greedy. In his words, when something cannot be shared, people will fight for it, as someone must live with it and some without and as such. Obviously, you cannot talk it out with everyone, so Lysandre had a horrible plan: Killing a lot of people and reducing human population. It's strongly hinted that Lysandre himself doesn't want to resort to this plan, but if it's the only way to make his world a reality, there's no other choice. He even considers to completely annihilate Pokemons because they can be used by humans to commit wrongdoings. Imagine trying to make the internet a better place by slaughtering all the trolls.

I love how all the evil boss themes got updated. These guys aren't messing around, they're from timelines where they actually succeeded in their plans, now they're out to conquer Alola, and further beyond. You can easily tell this from the music, it's more upbeat than how it was originally. I think Lysandre is more intimidating in these games and and in the anime, more so than how he was presented in X and Y games.

[@AlmightyArceus]

So if Lysandre is from a world where he accomplished his goal, does that mean that world is completely destroyed?

[@metayoshi1712]

In the case of pokemon Y, yes. Remember there's Lysandre X (wanted to give immortality to the world) and Lysandre Y (whom wanted to destroy it as he found humans are greedy in nature) depending on your version.

[@mardukandvladitor]

Well in Y his goal was to kill everyone except himself and Team Flare

[@kitse_xiii8334]

Marduk wait no, his goal was to kill off the unworthy population due to the lack of resources for everyone

[@kitse_xiii8334]

clickbang No? That happened in X too. He only threatened immortality on the Player in X so that the Player has to witness everyone else aging and dying

[@LightStreak567]

AlmightyArceus YES, which means it should NEVER happen, or X Version is canon over Y Version because in X, he is still alive under the rubble because the weakened laser blast allegedly brings immortality to anyone struck by it, or he could have faked his death in Y.

[@MahouPoint]

A lot of the Pokemon music uses regional styles or instruments based on the real world region the game is based on. This was starting to be more obvious in Black and White (there's a lot of drumming and flutes like something you'd expect out of a military march ensemble with the Resharhim/Zekrom theme). Lysandre's music has something like a classic baroque approach, a music style that was once considered beautiful, and mixes it with hard electronic and rock sounds. You can make the style out way more in the original Team Flare theme which uses something that sounds like a harpsichord. The result is something that you'd expect would be something you could dance to, but just ends up sounding very dissonant but powerful.

[@TheWaslijn]

summary of that paragraph: this music is amazing

[@djinnhoopa7599]

This is also the case in Sun and Moon for the most part, but it definitely drastically in styles when you reach Aether and the Ultra Beast stuff.

exactly

[@M0D776]

Because for example, they are into Ultra Beasts, Ultra Beasts are not from there, soooo maybe thats an explanation...

They even have Lysandre wonder if he'd have ended up there if he'd met a trainer like you just to kick start your brain into realizing what was going on... The answer is obviously no because people talking about the leaks were being partially retarded. They "won" but they actually lost.

[@nplife9771]

One thing I always found ironic about Lysandre is not the fact that he's obviously a villain and yet no one can tell, but also the fact that his character is definitely based off a certain man in history, Adolf. It may seem like a random coincidence as many villains are based on Adolf, but I think that Pokémon MEANT to make him be based off Adolf. The goal of Lysandre holds a striking resemblance to that of Adolf's goals. Lysandre's goal is to "create a perfect world in which only a select group of people are allowed to live." Lysandre also wished to commit mass genocide against everyone he deemed imperfect. Adolf's goal was to eliminate everyone who he deemed to be imperfect, (this includes groups like the Jewish people, Black people, Soviets, Polish people, Gay people, etc). As this may be seen as a mere mistake by the Pokémon company, I think that they meant for Lysandre to be Adolf. The biggest reason I think this is because Lysandre created a device that would help people of Kalos communicate with Holograms. Lysandre could have chosen ANY name for the communication device like maybe the "Holo-Com," or something like that. Instead, the name he came up with, was I kid you not, the "Holo Caster." This name strongly resembles that of the horrific event that killed Millions of people, that was orchestrated by Adolf and the Nazis. Compare the two words; "Holo Caster," and "Holocaust" and tell me that Lysandre is not based on Adolf, and that team Flare is not based on the Nazis. Now imagine this. The version of Lysandre in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon was successful in his plans. This would mean that he killed the population of Kalos that he deemed to be "imperfect," and killed them without a second thought. He also plans to do the same thing to the people of Alola. Lysandre also came into power after the great pokémon war. In the years of 1914-1918 (WWI), the war was referred as "The great war," because people doubted and hoped that there would never be another war as big as the first war. Since Lysandre is killed, the second world war is prevented, BUT since the version of him in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon was successful in his plans, this would mean that he perfectly executed his plans, and started the second World War (or the Second Pokémon War), and he won it. That is a feat that even the Nazis and Adolf could not accomplish. Taking all this into consideration, I think Lysandre is based on Adolf, and not only is the Pokémon company well aware of that, but they also made a pun based on a tragic event in history. Well played, Pokémon. (BTW, This took me like 30 minutes to write, but it shows my interest in the matter. If anyone disagrees with me or would like to add a point, I would greatly appreciate it).

[@worthywill9294]

It's been a while since X/Y for me, do we know if he was old enough to be around for the first war?

[@nplife9771]

@@worthywill9294 Technically there are two answers to that question. While Lysandre definitely was not alive during the Great Pokemon War, as that happened 3,000 years prior to the XY games, he still may have been alive during the first world war. I know the Pokemon company would not say what year the games are based on, it would make sense that the games were sometime after a different war. I believe that there could have been a "pokemon world war I" that happened 20 years or so before the XY games. I don't have much proof or much research but there were major renovations that were happening throughout the game. And It is already known that Kalos is based on France. So, if this is true, (which it probably isn't), then this means that Lysandre was probably a teen soldier during this first war, and in his efforts to make a second war, he fails.

[@maskedmildew5437]

i like how, using lysandre as a point of comparison, you can see just how emotionless cyrus really is which could either be from his suppressing of it, or from the world of emotionlessness he sought finally coming true. but either way, he and lysandre have a similar thing going on, and lysandre just acts like a husk after completing his goals

Talk about an improvement. This fits way better than the original.

The little jingle they added after the first original guitar bit makes the theme! Great composition!!
