User blog comment:Ordeaux26/Pure Evil Proposal - Xerosic (Anime)/@comment-30634893-20191222130808

Xerosic is pretty bad all things considered, but the thing is, we've seen villains like him in the anime before. Pokémon torture, causing mass destruction, and trying to kill people is pretty commonplace for the anime's various villains--and not just the PE ones, if guys like Iron-Masked Marauder, Annie and Oakley, Rico, Dr. Yung and Zero have anything to say about it. Even trying to destroy the world has been done already. And on top of that, he hardly lacks in resources considering that he is one of the heads of Team Flare, making him stick out even less (comparatively, Hunter J had far less to work with). Even after Team Flare is destroyed, he barely does anything besides torturing Clemont (again, that sort of thing's been done before). So, yeah. With all that in mind, I'll say no.
