4.) Team Galactic, Pokemon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum Lucky for us that Pokemon X and Y had so much else to offer. Overall Team Flare fails to endear themselves to players, being neither comically bad nor reaching true anti-hero status. It's clear from the player's first meeting with Lysandre that his ideals are perverted, and it comes as no surprise when he announces that he has decided to wipe out all life on the planet. This attempt at connecting Team Flare to real and prevalent issues in our own society falls flat through his maniacal ramblings and illicit doings.

Lysandre, the billionaire philanthropist leader of Team Flare, frequently complains that the world is full of bad people, and predicts disaster, overpopulation, and stagnation because of this. Instead of introducing Team Flare as a group of crazy evil-doers set on world conquest, Pokemon X and Y sets them up as a group set on preserving the world for the good and decent people who won't ruin it. This isn't for any lack of trying, however. Team Flare might be the most stylish group of villains to grace the Pokemon games, but these bad guys from Pokemon X and Y feel uninspired compared to previous generations. While that means this is a pretty subjective list, there are definitely a few things we can all agree on. Judgments will be made based on evil masterplans, memorability, costume design, maniacal personalities, and anything else that pops to mind.
In honor of these villains' supreme importance, we're ranking the villains from each generation of Pokemon from worst to best.
