Wtf is wrong with Kalos?

You mean just like nazi scientists after ww2?

japs love reformed villains

It's a joke about how much non-characters the Team Flare admins were that she was able to get off scott free cause nobody knew about what she did.

>professor
>not named after a tree

>>58024258
Amazing world building actually

>>58024205 (OP)
Don't like the giant shoes but she's hot

>>58024205 (OP)
I had no idea she was a recurring character until I saw this thread

>>58024273
Anon....Maple?

>>58024220
Someone fixed her

ask sycamore

>>58024320
Same. Why does XY have so many forgettable characters? People also forgot Sina and Dexio were from XY when they showed up in SM, thinking they were new characters.

SHE'S STILL LOYAL

>>58024620
>Hey Professor, what's that logo on your chair?
>Oh, that's from when I was in a group/cult trying to commit mass genocide and kill everyone on the planet except a select few our dear leader was willing to let live.

>>58024620
This is like having a nazi symbol on your gaming chair while still insisting that your reformed from being a nazi researcher.

>>58024205 (OP)
Malva got away with everything so why she shouldn't too?

>>58024620
While Lysandre's signature Pokemon is Mega Gyarados, he also uses Pyroar in every battle, which has been leaked to get a Mega as well.

>>58024620
>That logo? It was supposed to be a Mega Evolution logo but the manufacturer got it wrong

>>58024620
Look she got the chair back in Team Flare under a reasonable accommodation and it'd be too much of a pain in the ass to go through the leg work for a new one.

We never see Malva do anything. Meanwhile, this bitch uh.. bothered a Abomasnow once and was also in the Labs preparing for the genocide.

>>58024843
It’d be damn funny for a kid to look fat and balding

>>58024205 (OP)
>>58024879
Reminder that canonically the police knows Malva was a Team Flare admin, yet, they let her go because she ratted on the member list.

She could let her peeps under the radar, and even get them big positions.

It would have been great to have two profs with Bryony and Mable, but it's nice to have another MILF as a main professor in the saga.

I like how team aqua and team magma are still free with no repurcussions at the end of ruby and sapphire

>>58024688
She's a good Nazi now.


>>58024205 (OP)
Being one of Team Flare's leading scientists, her skills would be wasted if she was imprisoned. Probably accepted a deal to work for the good guys, in order to evade punishment. Just like Nazi or Unit 731 scientists.

>>58024205 (OP)
no idea who this bitch is supposed to be

>>58025978
Both teams also had high-profile scientists.

>>58025978
They weren't trying to genocide anyone

>>58026042
Aqua's endgame was to drown the world

>>58024620
Based. She's a Von Braun through and through.

anon, what do you think happens when you fuck up the planet's climate

>>58024220
They weren't criminals trying to commit mass genocide though.

>>58026605
That's just their retardation, they didn't mean it. Team Magma/Aqua instantly understands that they were wrong once Groudon/Kyogre awakens

>>58024205 (OP)
Malva was already an E4 member despite being a high ranking officer in Flare in XY.

>>58024205 (OP)
Does that mean the other scientists are in the game? She doesn't look like she aged a day so how far in the future is this game set?
Will Malva still be a reporter? And why is she only acting director, where's Sycamore?

>>58024341
>>58026308
there is no such things as a "Maple" tree, kys

>>58024879
>>58024879
She was part of the elite 4 as well. Bitch had power in Kalos

>>58026674
Sycamore is probably going to either appear as part of the Zygarde subplot later, or they'll explain his absence as something to tie into gen 10.

Just a straight copy/paste for you.

Don't forget Ghetsis, the Shadow Triad take him away. I don't think he's been arrested unlike characters like Rose.

>>58026818
pretty funny who the only one who actually went to jail was Rose, and it was because he turned himself in

>>58024205 (OP)
Isn't this shit years into the future? Like this could be her grand daughter or some shit. I thought.

>>58026931
Maybe the scientists were late teens or something and this is her in her 30s.

>>58026674
I think the shadows under her eyes are suppose to represent bags meaning she aged... somewhat

>>58026971
It's hard to say though considering she was wearing visors the entire time in XY.

>>58026480

A good Nazi? Don't be so oxymoronic.

>>58026818
>N
Groomed teenager so likely doesn't get punished as heavily
>Archie/Maxie
Good guys in one route, and in the other aren't evil, but heavily misguided and reform.
>Lusamine
Does not get away with it, she's poisoned and catatonic in SM with Lillie going to Kanto to try saving her. Retconned in Ultra to not be a villain
>Guzma
Low-tier thug, reforms
>Giovanni
Tajiri-era Giovanni is implied to reform and retire (and supplementary material based on the originals, like Origins, go with this narrative), but current universe confirms he's still evil with HGSS and Ultra, and he literally gets away with it with zero repercussions.

>>58026894
Ghetsis is "free", but he loses all his sanity and becomes a catatonic vegetable after losing to a kid for the second time, and one who wasn't even the chosen one at that.

>>58026674
>She doesn't look like she aged a day
Xerneas is a hell of a drug.

>>58024205 (OP)
Y is non-canon. In X team flare wanted to become immortal and simply outlive anyone they disliked and work toward changing the world into something they approved.

A lot of people in Team Flare paid their way in with their considerable wealth. Now, how on earth could these same people avoid the grasp of the law, hmm?

>>58027149
That theory has as much merit as the 'Red accidentally killed Blue's Raticate' theory

>>58024205 (OP)
This is the same region where people learned NOTHING after being told by a genocidal maniac on a live Holocauster broadcast "All of you are fucking disgusting and have ruined the world so badly that I need to kill you all in order to preserve what beauty is still left."

Wh-why would he do that?

He must be a taxi driver.

>Good guys in one route, and in the other aren't evil, but heavily misguided and reform.
anon that doesn't change the fact that what they were trying to do would fucking kill people and pokemon. flooding the earth or creating a dead heat drought should be a punishable offense, no matter the intent.

>>58024220
Did you know that every confession at Nuremberg was obtained through genital mutilation torture?
Just kind of a weird thing for the good guys to do innit?

>>58024205 (OP)
Team flare was made up of rich and influential people in society and trust fund kids. The shit they tried to pull got majorly swept under the rug, and a lot of the members had little to no repercussions. Think special even used that as a plot point.
Also, Looker is useless. Remember how Saturn set off a massive bomb at Lake Acuity and tried to have a lackey set off a second one at Pastoria Great Marsh. Then he was in charge of guarding the legendary pokemon torture machines that were used to make the red chain. The thing that let Cyrus nearly fuck the universe. Looker let him off with an apology, and he’s in charge of what’s left of Team Galactic.

This was all a plot for Rose to ruin his reputation so he could get some peace and quiet, all while also being a net benefit for Galar in the long run.

>>58027149
Yeah, and Alder actually suffered fatal damage to his internal organs jumping down that cliff on Unova Route 19.

>>58028395
Lusamine being a dindu is also the baseline in all of the most popular Pokemon media, ESPECIALLY the anime. They can't market a character who's an objectively horrible person, especially if horribleness is related to being a shitty and abusive parent.

Well, by supporting Ukraine, the West indirectly supplies Neonazi groups (e.g. Asow Brigade) with weapons as well. And judging how right-wing extremism is propagated as the biggest threat to Western societies, they mustn't do that. But they do, so in this context, (Ukrainian) Nazis are the good guys, because they fight the Russians, who are the bad guys, (according to Western media).
