Ghetsis: Difference between revisions

In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, Ghetsis is revealed to be the true mastermind behind the new Team Plasma, which had seemingly been led by [[Zinzolin]], [[Colress]], and the Shadow Triad. After Colress is defeated, Ghetsis confronts the player and angrily denounces Colress as being more interested in science than in Team Plasma's ambitions, even after being appointed as the organization's official leader. He leaves the player to fight the Shadow Triad while he enters the [[Giant Chasm]] with {{p|Kyurem}}. By the time the player catches up with him, Ghetsis has prepared his plan to freeze all of [[Unova]]. He summons Kyurem to his side and orders it to use {{m|Glaciate}} on the player, only for N to arrive with Zekrom{{sup/5|B2}}/Reshiram{{sup/5|W2}} and interfere. This however was part of Ghetsis's plan, and while berating N for causing what will happen to Unova as a result of N's refusal to be his pawn in the previous games, Ghetsis uses the [[DNA Splicers]] to forcibly revert Zekrom{{sup/5|B2}}/Reshiram{{sup/5|W2}} into its [[Dragon Stones|stone form]]. Kyurem then fuses with the stone, creating Black Kyurem{{sup/5|B2}}/White Kyurem{{sup/5|W2}}. Ghetsis challenges the player to fight Black Kyurem{{sup/5|B2}}/White Kyurem{{sup/5|W2}}, preventing it from being captured via a signal from his cane that disrupts the function of [[Poké Ball]]s. Upon the defeat of Kyurem, its Absofusion is reversed, separating it back into Kyurem and Zekrom{{sup/5|B2}}/Reshiram{{sup/5|W2}}. Ghetsis flies into a rage and attacks the player, starting a final battle. When he is defeated, he suffers a mental breakdown and violently rejects the compassion N shows him. The Shadow Triad take him away from the Giant Chasm and later inform the player that Ghetsis has lost his heart and is no longer mentally capable of any further criminal deeds, finally ending his threat to Unova.

===Main series===

Ghetsis is the head and founder of Team Plasma, often referred to as "Lord Ghetsis" by his underlings. He serves as the main antagonist of the ''Best Wishes! Season 2: Episode N'' arc. He was initially set to debut in the original {{OBP|BW024|unaired}}, but this episode was [[Banned episodes|never aired]] and later reconned out of continuity.

* During a fan meeting event held in the Yokohama Pokémon Center on August 5, 2012, [[Junichi Masuda]] revealed that Ghetsis's full name was initially '''G-Cis Harmonia Gropius''' (ゲーツィス・ハルモニア・グロピウス). Note the different Katakana spelling for his first name.

* Ghetsis was designed by [[Keiko Moritsugu]].<ref name=ghetsisdesign>[http://bystrousky.blogspot.com/2019/07/blog-post.html?m=1]</ref>

* The top of Ghetsis's robes in his {{2v2|Black|White}} appearance resemble the {{wp|battlement}}s of a castle.

* Ghetsis has several unique attributes:

** In Black 2 and White 2, Ghetsis mentions that he is going to take the player down with his "own hand" in singular, instead of "hand'''s'''" in plural.

** If {{mas|Ghetsis}}'s model in [[Pokémon Masters EX]] is viewed with his cape removed, it can be seen that his right arm is intact and is usually held behind his back. The model cannot be viewed in this fashion in normal gameplay, but his right arm can be glimpsed in some animations.<ref>https://twitter.com/PokeMasModels/status/1404594315364651013</ref> The [[Pokémon Center (store)|Pokémon Center]] Boss Pikachu plush of Ghetsis also has its right arm in a similar position.

** In addition to this, his right eye remains hidden by an eyepiece. In the games, he also appears to have trouble moving the right side of his mouth, as shown by his in-game sprites and models.

** Early concept art for Ghetsis depicts him without his eyepiece and shows that his right eye has a scar around it.
