Why does Gamefreak hate scientists? I swear most games have

Because scientists hates ethics and morals, since it hinders science.

>>28556678

The very first character you meet in almost every game is a good-guy scientist.

>>28556678
>This fucking meme again

>>28556678
Pokemon started out as a mostly environmentalist thing and it's easy to make scientists villians in children's literature on account of vague morality.

And they all either have alzheimers or are women.

>Biologists good
>Physicists, geneticists, climatologists, geologists are bad

I want to join team STEM.

>>28556678
Did they make colress in the anime full on evil? Every pic I've seen of him from it makes him look like a proper mad scientist. It doesn't even look like the same character from the games

they should really do something to change that.

I have an idea. What if instead, a scientist were your mentor? He gave you your first Pokemon and pokedex, and then showed up throughout the game to give you advice, so on and so forth.

>Physicists, geneticists, climatologists, geologists are bad

There have been plenty of good ones of those depicted at museums, the Space Center, etc.

>>28556932
>>28556935
All scientists should be good.

>>28556935
>Space Centre
The Delta Episode.
The Weather institute researchers were pretty good though.

He seems like a fucking goofball.

>>28556918

If I recall, his anime character was pretty accurate to the games.

Remember that time GF put a church in pokemon?

hoo boy that sure was a thing wasn't it

>>28556678
There are some very minor NPC scientists who are often good or at least not evil. And the professors are scientists. But yeah a lot of major scientist characters are villains.

>>28557011
it took up space and was useless

>>28556874
Well Steven was pretty good, but he's more like a hobbyist. I don't know what Roxanne would count as since she's begging the fossil maniac for stuff despite being a teacher? plus her gym design.
Even aqua and magma eventually go full good guy repentance in Oras.

>>28557886
so it was realistic?

>>28557886
Just like real life! *tips fedora*

>>28557942
They did in the originals, too.

>gen 5 male scientists were creepy as fuck
>gen 5 female scientists were adorable

what did they mean by this?

>>28557005
What no, he went full evil

In the games he was all "sure, I'll manage team plasma for you, I'll just use your resources to further my research"

>>28556678
Name one bad guy scientist who was involved with the plot. And no Colress isn't evil.

>>28558047
Maxie

>>28557992
Whoops, I forgot about returning the orbs in the originals. I guess I'll say they fleshed everything out for Aqua and magma a lot more in Oras.

>>28557886
It was honestly more disturbing than the haunted mansion because of the lack of music.

>>28557987
>>28557969
At least real churches play music.

>>28558047
Colress was definitely a villain. Also the entirety of Magma, Shelly in Aqua, the Flare scientists, and Rocket had scientists working for it. Arguably Cyrus, though maybe he's more an inventor/engineer.

>>28558141
Forgot about Charon, the 4th commander in Platinum.

>>28558141
Colress was neutral. He didn't care for whatever plans Team Plasma had. He only wanted the resources to further his research. When it became clear to him that the player's path could further his studies, he switches over with no hesitation.

>>28558260
He was amoral and willing to do anything for the sake of his research, that and the fact that he worked for Plasma is enough to make him a villain. He's not malicious and does become better by the end, but he starts out pretty villainous.

>>28558047
Don't worry, nobody actually remembers flare.
Off the top of my head
Maxie, Tabitha, Courtney, Shelly, possibly Archie. Although all of them aren't really evil.

>>28558491
None of them were actually evil.

>>28557784
>yfw Faba's real name is Oldress, Colress' father.

>Faba is Hawaiian for Father on top of being based off a flower.

It's because scientists are spooky scary, OP.

Also, science is a really big theme in the game, and they just naturally gravitate toward the trope.

>>28561909
I don't know why I fucking spoilered the image.

>>28556678
Because some scientists totally aren't professors and lab assistants giving you your first pokemon in your starting town, right?

>>28561931
Zoology isn't a real science

>>28556678
Colress is a pretty cool villain, because he's so damn charismatic it makes him dangerous.
He's the sort of mad scientist that becomes obsessed with work and furthering his discovery and he goes to any means necessary to further his goals.
He is the sort of scientist we all fear in fiction. One that will go too far and cause a major catastrophe. He wouldn't even feel guilt over it at all because he'll see it as an achievement. He's blind to the morality of his actions.

He could probably charm his way into any group. A genius sociopath. He could get people on board for just about anything.
Want to bring otherworldly creatures to this dimension and tap into their power? Sure Colress sign me up you magnificent bastard. Nothing could ever be wrong with that. You told me it's all going to be great.

um, okay?

Well, scientists do have the brains to pull shit like this off. You don't expect a bunch of school dropouts to be the big bads, do you?
