10 Video Game Characters You Knew Were Evil From The Start

9. Colress - Pokémon Black And White 2 (2012)

"Oh look," you may have said at the time of Pokémon Black and White 2's release trailer, "a straight-laced scientist character with an eccentric hairdo. Guess we know where this is heading!"

Needless to say, this was one prediction that did NOT warrant a medal.

Much like Cynthia in Diamond and Pearl, the player runs into Colress a number of times throughout Black and White 2. The game seems to present him as some random oddball who occasionally helps you out in a pinch. But you know better. You know the rule of anime: the guy with the weirdest hair is always the bad guy.

And what a surprise, that's exactly what he is!

Granted, his views are somewhat greyer than Team Plasma's previous leader, Ghetsis, but at the end of the day, his search for knowledge still results in him getting up to no good, and what kind of budding Pokémon Master would you be if you let him get away with it?

Also, what kind of a name is Colress? Even for anime, that's got to raise a few eyebrows.
