Even if we don't ever get another one, I'd still be satisfied with just Ghetsis being "that one guy" among the main series villains who's just a total asshole for the sake of it, rather than being a more reasonable villain like Giovanni or having warped ideals of the greater good like Archie, Maxie, Cyrus, or Lysandre. Those latter two are the ones who compete with Ghetsis in heinousness, but both are painted as potentially redeemable tragic villains (Cyrus not so much in DP, but certainly in Platinum.)

I'm actually going to be fair to TV Tropes on this one. The fanfic example had a really bad writeup that didn't really tell us much about Ghetsis that we didn't already know, a few new evil deeds aside. And his manga counterpart can't be considered yet on that site because his arc technically hasn't finished - the B2W2 chapter still hasn't concluded. I let manga!Ghetsis stay as an example on this wiki since as of now he totally fits the bill, but it's reasonable to keep it up in the air on TV Tropes 'cause for all we know he could show some redeeming or negating feature like possibly a VillainousFriendship with Colress (though I personally don't see them as much beyond acquaintances as of now, and if Colress is like his game counterpart, he actually despises the guy too).
