Shocked I tell you
I remember that one Galactic Grunt going "You're just opposing us cause you don't understand our ideals. Well I don't understand them either and I will fight blindly to defend them."

Galactic Grunts were the most hilarious fuckups out of everyone which is an incredible feat considering their competition consists of people who tried to blow up a volcano while standing on it.

Gen 1 Team Rocket was clearly after Mewtwo for local dominance of the region, which feels like a good inbetween of Skull (best team) and Galactic (Dumbest team).

Were they? I thought any Rocket<->Mewtwo connection was anime only. From what I recall Team Rocket in Gen I was basically just a local mafia, no real plans.

They kidnapped the scientist who created it, were going after the only type (in-fiction) that was super effective against it, wanted a Master Ball and had a low-key presence in the place where Mewtwo resided.

There's also them going after fossils, because they knew about DNA reconstruction.

I don't think your average grunt knew what they were doing but there is a pretty clear pattern to their appearances outside of the Game Corner.

Galactic is fun but I think it's weird that they have the dumbest goons but still expect us to take Cyrus seriously.

Though he does decide to just gently caress off to the Negative Zone and be sad forever so who knows.

Chairman Rose being evil and the Pokémon League being corrupt would be the most obvious, least fun option possible. Like, we’ve had two heads of large companies turn out to be bad guys. In a row. A third one would be just plain boring.

Yeah, I think Galactic's "cult about ending the world for... reasons" was very dumb, but at least it wasn't the second team with essentially that same dumb motivation.

The only thing worse than Galactic is knockoff Galactic.

X and Y were a mess.

Complaining about villains in charge of corporations? Next you'll be complaining about how many sea creature pokemon we've had in the oceans.

It’s fantasy. I mean, you don’t see people getting after Officer Jenny because she’s a cop.

But regardless, the primary issue is it’s unoriginal doing “the guy who supports you and has a good reputation building something everyone loves” for the third time in a row.

I don't think the Grunts knew they were ending the world or anything. There is even a scene were Cyrus calls them stupid sheep after making a speech to them, and tells the player pretty much everything he told them was a lie.

Just going to put this out there but I think it's more so just chairman Rose and Oleana while Leon is essentially his puppet king. I could be wrong, but this is just how I'm reading it for now.
