* Was there a reason to establish Mega Evolution as something horrible and abusive to the Pokemon that undergo it? Mega Evolution was a popular feature from the previous games, with a lot of Mega Evolutions becoming complete fan favorites for all involved, and the feature is still very much beloved, even in the wake of Z-Moves. So why go through all this effort to create Pokedex entries to establish that Mega Evolution is, in fact, evil, when the previous games preached it at a bond phenomenon between Pokemon and trainer?

He is also confirmed to have suffered amnesia, rendering him unable to remember Lusamine, the Aether Foundation, or anything but his name and his scientific knowhow. All he is now is the keeper of Poké Pelago, totally unaware of his contributions to Pokémon World science.

How does anyone else complete Ilima's trial? Or are they craftier than the player character?

** Those trophies are from years ago when he was presumably not as strong. But yes, it seems through bad luck or bad attitude he always found himself as the second/third best when it came to pokemon competitions. And his problem was that instead of his failures motivating him to get better, they motivated him to blame traditions like the Island Challenge and the ideals it taught.

It lives inside the Dex: if the player in-universe needs to know anything about Rotom, they can just talk to it, since it speaks human language, and it can give a first-person perspective unlike most of the other Pokemon the player's researching.

** Additionally, the way he yells at himself in third person when he loses. It sounds like he's repeating something that someone else said to him. He doesn't yell at you, he doesn't yell at his Pokemon, he yells at himself for not being better. There's also the way that he boasts that "All (he) know(s) is violence". Statements from Kukui and Hala imply that he used to be a nice kid, so what would make a nice kid run away from home? He's also super loyal to Lusamine even though it's implied she couldn't care less about him, and it's entirely because she's the only adult to really acknowledge him, which means that his parents didn't. All of these things together paint the picture of Guzma having at the very least an unhappy home life.

** Aether Foundation has a public image to uphold. Team Skull does not. That means if there's anything illegal/immoral that Aether needs done, they can now do it through Team Skull. It would also give Guzma some cause to continue to follow her for reasons other than emotional attachment that has the potential to fade. Guzma is a strong trainer and a good asset to have - it makes since to want to be absolutely certain he won't try to leave at a crucial moment.

*** Until she made it to Ultra Space, it seems like all of Lusamine's crazy came from garden-variety insanity induced by the loss of her husband, which caused her to abuse Pokemon and obsess over the Ultra Beasts to the point that her children ran away from her, which gave her further insanity on account of the loss of her children. As for why Nebby's "purification" switches Lusamine from "on hardcore UB drugs" to "kind of nice but still a bit kookoo" instead of the "garden-variety insanity" she had before meeting Nihilego, either Lillie's words reached her once she was able to think about them clearly, or Nebby artificially (accidentally?) adjusted her brain chemistry to fix whatever was originally wrong with her in the process of expunging the bulk of the Nihilego venom from her brain.

** The theory seems to have originated from [[https://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/187276-pokemon-sun/74535483 this post]] on GameFAQS, and many fans (admittedly, including myself) took it as fact.

** The Nihilego forms a 'partnership' with strong beings who, under its influence, become stronger to protect the Nihilego. It would fit with the theme of Guzma always falling short/never being "good enough" if the Nihilego briefly latched onto him and decided he wasn't suitable.
