I have this headcanon, that Lysandre can’t see every shade of red.

It’s not uncommon for males to have this problem, as the chromosomes for red are all on X. As males have only one, any damaged or weakened parts are not made up for. This is why red-green color blindness is so high in males.

Now.. why do I think Lysandre has this issue?

Well, it began with seeing this post [x], but ends with the fact that despite being so fashion conscious, none of the reds in his cafe or attire match. It irks the hell out of me and I’m sure it would irk him too if he could see it.

How many different shades can you spot in this picture?
(hint; every single piece of furniture, plus the walls and floor are different. Everything is, aside from those tables/small seats.)

…Did.. I just uncover a subtle in-joke with the character designers?

>makes character connected to fashion
>character loves red
>cannot see more than 2 shades because of basic genetics
>has no idea that NONE of his attire/upholstery match
> haha, XY chromosome jokes, game is called X and Y
>Stylish villain is technically a walking fashion disaster

..Very sly gamefreak, I’m impressed. And mildly insulted.
