Dr. Yung (Pokémon)

Dr. Yung (Also known as the Mirage Master) is the supporting character in the 10th Anniversary special mini-movie called Pokémon: The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon (which is set during the events of Pokemon: Battle Frontier) and a former student of Professor Oak while being the hidden true main antagonist of this special.



Why He’s The Mastermind Of Moronic Evil Plans

 * 1) First off, Dr. Yung/Mirage Master is just another “evil mad scientist” with generic evil plans to take over the world while being way too dark to be an antagonist of kid's show like Pokémon, even for an Anniversary Special, he comments on so many actions that are downright evil, which will be explained in the list.
 * 2) His being the Mirage Master unleashing the rest of the Mirage Pokemon is way too obvious, even the intro spoils it.
 * 3) When being revealed as the Mirage Master, Yung is utterly heartless, cruel, and an embodiment of pure unadulterated evil, even more so than Tobias and Shamus to the point that he makes them look like mere Togepis in comparison, sure, Tobias may have overpowered Ash with a Mythical and a Legendary Pokémon in the Sinnoh league, and Shamus may have abused Tepig, but Dr. Yung actually attempts to murder Ash, co, and their Pokémon.
 * 4) At one point in the Special, it's revealed that Dr. Yung was an expelled student because his experiments on Pokemon were his cruel tendencies for no real reason, and just wants revenge.
 * 5) His hair style, while decent and basic, looks too similar to Syrus Truesdale from Yu-Gi-Oh! GX with the glasses and the hairstyle and the same hair color.
 * 6) As the Mirage Master, Dr. Yung's only care was just to kidnap and torture other trespassers like when he took Ash's Pikachu and tortures him on an electric rack until his mentor, Professor Oak tells him the code.
 * 7) During the climax of the Special, Dr. Yung has his Mirage Mewtwo KILL Mirage Mew and rafting other trespassers like when he took Ash's Pikachu and torments.
 * 8) His goal is unclear and very generic, but the closest is that he wants to experiment with Pokemon in his cruel ways while also replacing them with his Mirage system to take over the world, but why does Yung want to replace organic life with holograms, and how is that suppose to help him take over the world?
 * 9) Character Derailment: As the Mirage Master, he hard does anything but command the Mirage Pokemon
 * 10) Like other villains, he monologues and talks way too much about his evil schemes.
 * 11) Despite all of his ungrateful actions, Yung barely gets his comprehend for his evil and sinister actions as after Ash's Pikachu defeats his Mirage Mewtwo, Professor Oak...lets Dr. Yung off scot free by going back to his burning laboratory, making him a Karma Houdini.
 * 12) He barely has any connection with other primary villains such as Team Rocket, Team Magma, and Team Aqua during the events of Battle Frontier whom the three factions were supposed to be more villainous, twisted, and evil than Yung.
 * 13) We learn nothing about why he wanted to experiment Pokemon for his cruel tendencies, instead it’s never addressed after going back to his burning laboratory to possibly die or not.
 * 14) He is rather one of the most forgettable characters and villains in Pokémon history along with being the most hated and weakest.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Dr. Yung's design is decent along with his Mirage Master outfit.
 * 2) His voice acting is good.
