The amount of notable Explorers near double that of Team Galactic’s admins/Cyrus. Team Flare would be a more apt comparison, but if you consider the defections of Malva and Alain, then Team Flare is also smaller.So about as many as Team Galactic or Flare? Seems pretty normal to me.
Plus, Hamber hasn't been portrayed as anything more than a butler/secretary, so he probably won't be too important.
Those two organizations had nameless Grunts though, that the Explorers have yet to show (and may not have). But, again, the collective whole of the organization wasn’t my point. Even still, just because the anime has done a large villainous organization before doesn’t mean that the concern of character development and characterization isn’t still valid nor was it a problem before. There’s a reason I believe Team Galatic’s characters were a bit more fleshed out than Team Flare’s.
Hamber is the second in command of the Explorers. Even if he’s been primarily shown doing butler things, he’s still notable. And if they only show him doing butler things, then I feel like that only adds to my concern of some characters inevitably suffering from significant screen time in favor of others. It would be a waste to leave the second in command to just pour tea and serve crumpets every time he appears.
