You ought to finish that arc and then moving on to the Sinnoh and Unova arcs. The others are optional, but I feel the Hoenn arcs were the weakest. As for those villains...Giovanni's unrepentantly evil as he is in the anime but he has noble qualities and genuinely loves his son even when they're on opposite sides. Lance was a genocidal psycho who, like Cyrus, wasn't necessarily sympathetic but his agenda started from a well-meaning place and he gets redeemed later on. (I actually like to theorize that Sird actually IS Agatha in some way since Agatha hasn't been seen since the Yellow arc and it'd make Sird's fixation with the Pokedex make so much sense, but it hasn't been proven in canon yet.) And Pryce is noted as being a subversion of Complete Monster on this wiki - seems to fit the bill at first but is revealed to not only be a tragic anti-villain, but a man driven so insane by pent-up emotions and loneliness that he literally cannot tell right from wrong anymore, being an "ends justify the means" type of villain.

Oh yeah, DPA Charon can best be described as a one-man Cipher. Attempts at suicide bombings, extortion, psychological torture, and harmful experiments are things he does, as well as mind control and even physical abuse of his underlings or hostages. And like Ghetsis, he wants world domination in this version.
