Nah, the Lysandreoth archetype is more like "Me on my first playthrough and realizing most of his lines are hints" territory. I genuinely thought Pokémon X and Y would have a twist that Lysandre isn't the villain because his dialogue is so agonizingly unsubtle. I was trying to parse it for subtle hints that he was secretly good.
Edit: Apparently TV Tropes calls this trope "obvious Judas" (which is much more immediately understood but way less funny than "Lysandreoth").
but what about Archibald, he's like the best.
King Dragon sends his regards.
That's so nice of him! Tell him I appreciate it.
