Pokémon Sun and Moon/YMMV: Difference between revisions

** {{spoiler|The same goes with Lusamine, who manages to look inhumanly gorgeous and youthful for a woman in her forties and a mother of two kids to boot. This look is used to create an [[Uncanny Valley]] effect when Lusamine's madness gets revealed and her pretty face starts contorting with [[Slasher Smile]]s and deranged looks of rage.}}

* [[Jerkass Woobie]]: Under his hard, violent street thug persona, Guzma is a surprisingly vulnerable individual. During his childhood he failed his Island Challenge, and that, combined with living with a violently abusive father and an inability to ever truly excel on a competitive front led to Guzma developing a sense of self hatred and obsessive desire to assert some form of greatness and obtain an adult's approval. It's quite telling that when he loses a battle, he viciously tears into ''himself'' for his failure.

* [[Magnificent Bastard]]: The [[Big Bad]], {{spoiler|Lusamine}}, may be among the most (if not ''the'' most) successful and manipulative villains in the main series. {{spoiler|Despite being completely insane, she still manages to successfully run the Aether Foundation by putting on the charade of still being a loving and caring person, and has the entirety of it at her fingertips, the majority of whom do not even know her true intentions. Meanwhile, she secretly freezes dozens of rescued Pokémon and keeps them in her hidden chamber as decorations, and manipulates Guzma and the rest of Team Skull into doing her bidding (meaning that she controls two different organizations at once). She oversaw the project to create Type: Full, a Pokémon intended to emulate Arceus itself, and even though her children successfully managed to escape her, she still indirectly controlled their lives to such an extent that they were in no position to stop her. She nearly kills Nebby in order to open the wormholes, successfully releases at least ten dangerous Ultra Beasts all over Alola, brings Guzma into the wormhole along with herself in order to escape this world, and now that she has what she wants, discards him like a used toy once they arrive in Ultra Space, trapping him for an indefinite time. Virtually the only reason that she managed to be defeated is due to Lillie's newfound determination and your prowess as a trainer, and even when you both confront her, she makes her last stand by fusing with a Nihilego and attempting to kill her own daughter.}}

** {{spoiler|In ''Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon'', Lusamine does everything she did in ''Sun and Moon'' up to the point of finally capturing Cosmog when she has Lillie abducted, only this time she does it all for the ends of opening a single Ultra Wormhole so that she can capture/defeat Necrozma in Ultra Space and save Alola's light, and she takes advantage of the Ultra Recon Squad by making them believe that she's going to use a different means to stop Necrozma when she actually intends on dealing with the beast all by herself for her own personal, more self-centered reasons. Even when she loses a battle to the [[Player Character]], thus failing to prove that she has the strength to handle Necrozma and Ultra Beasts on her own, she says that [[Exact Words|since she has Guzma with her, she's not on her own]] before using Cosmog to open the Wormhole to Ultra Space anyway. Her only failure was overestimating her and Guzma's ability to neutralize Necrozma as a threat once it starts flying into a rage.}}
