APokémonspinoff game has revealed a shocking fact about one of the franchise’s greatest villains. Every main seriesPokémongame has featured one or more villainous teams, with schemes that range from simple extortion to world domination. Of course, these criminal organizations can all be stopped by a 10-year-old child, which typically shows that in thePokémonuniverse, even criminals have limits. However, aPokémonspinoff game wants to show that at least one villain is willing to eliminate his enemies horrifically.
A recent datamine of upcomingPokémon Masters EXcontent has revealed a new Sync Pair featuring Giovanni and Guzzlord. However, the flavor text for Giovanni reveals an additional horrifying fact about his use ofthe Ultra Beast.The descriptionof Giovanninotes that he uses “Guzzlord’s insatiable appetite to rid Team Rocket of those who might get in their way.“The implication here is that Giovanni is literally feeding his enemies to Guzzlord,an Ultra Beast with an infinite appetite.
Why Giovanni Was Always Pokémon’s Greatest Villain
Pokémon Masters EXdrew inspiration for this new Giovanni variant fromPokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. In those games, analternate universe version of Giovanniappeared in a special post-game episode leading Team Rainbow Rocket.This group featured various multiversal variants of other team leadersthat tried to use Ultra Beasts to conquer the multiverse. Ultimately, the group still fails in their quest, thanks to the actions of the player characters and their friends.
Hilarious Pokémon TCG Pocket Binder Takes Revenge On Notorious Misty Card
A Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket player took revenge on Misty for poor performance by surrounding her with the Pokémon she hates the most.
Giovanni always had a cruelty not present in many other Pokémon villains. While otherPokémonvillains were more flashy,Giovanni was one of the only villains who was a true criminal, running multiple extortion and criminal schemes at the same time. Team Rainbow Rocket represented Giovanni’s ambitions unchecked, and it appears that his villainy only increased since he has no problem feeding his foes to a Pokémon with an infinite appetite.
Our Take: More Pokémon That Eat People, Please
More Pokémon Games Should Acknowledge That Pokémon Are Horrifying
Guzzlord’s usage as a body disposal system not only makes a lot of sense, it also reflects a terrifying fact about Pokémon that should be acknowledged more often. Pokémon are not only semi-sentient animals, they are also powerful killing machines. Most Pokémon appear cuddly and domesticated, butPokémon games can and should acknowledge the innate danger of living in aPokémonworld.
Not only can hundreds of Pokémon species easily kill humans, but evil people can easily use them to commit horrific crimes. Kudos toPokémon Masters EXfor acknowledging the dark side of thePokémonuniverse.
