The point ultimately being, is that Pride's actions and her mentality behind it make her a villain. She joined Gopsel to spare her country from their wrath and tried to kill for them out of revenge because Creamland was left in the dust when the cyberworld rose to what it is. When confronted about what she was doing, she had no remorse over her actions and tried to see them through to the end no matter what. Case closed.

As for the others; Prometheus and Pandora are understandably psychotic and their main goal is to be free from the hell they are in. Lumine is just Sigma 2.0. "You are not needed in our new world.". Gate was externally driven crazy. Angry as he was, his actions were no completely his own. MegaMan Juno was only following his programming, he basically had no intentions that were "his own" per se. I don't know Sera, I never got to finish MML2. Berkana has no real backstory to her, she's just sort of there. Frost Walrus...he's just a brute? Don't put much thought into him. Vile is simply insane. He indeed knows what he does is wrong and doesn't care. BUT. That was due to his flawed programming. Had he been created correctly, would this have been different?

Takeo is just an a-hole. Other antagonists in the BN series have more depth to them. Dave and Anetta wanted to save the environment. Sean hated the world because of its cruelty. And so on and so forth. Gauss also has his "reasons" for being evil. Him and Jack were part of a very poor family and no one helped them. When his parents died, he wa slept all alone while Jack was taken in by the Zap family.

Regal, as awesome of a villain as he is with just how dangerous and threatening he is, is just a badly written character. He suddenly turned evil, and then there's that awful speech at the end of BN4, and all of it is just bad. No, Regal is just evil, correct. You don't like him for his character you like him because is just a straight up threat.

Mr. King is just a villain. He's just there. The main goal of SF3 was Geo's dad.
