They never win because a Stupid trainer that only wants to be good ,instead of evil, Screw up their plans. The villains always hire the stupid morons that blurt out secret codes to trainers that beat them. I would start small, and subtly grow. i would find a small island off the coast of the main region and i would have ships deliver recruits and more experienced people to the island. I would take over a port somewhere on the mainland, and put up a small headquarters there. i would grow and then i would move on to bigger towns and soon into cities.
Getting off subject. Back to the main question. The villains never win, As said above, because of the random trainer that just arrives and ends up defeating gym leaders. they always want to do the right thing because of the professor. If you take out the professor then you take out the problem of losing to an absent minded kid. Maybe to end the problem of the professor you could board up the door to the lab, light a molotov cocktail and throw it through a window, or in a less violent way, bound and gag him and take him somewhere where he cant be found. :badsmile:
