"True, Chara is soulless now (and not even human anymore), but that doesn't mean they don't have any emotions."

They do have emotions, but love isn't one of them.

"Seeing as they (from Chara's point of view) seeing Toriel having multiple children and thinking she doesn't care about them, wouldn't that mean Chara cares?"

Yes, Chara has emotions. But, as I said, love isn't one of them. They're steered towards more evil actions. And, all they see is Frisk being treated as the new Chara, the other children being mentioned, but Chara being completely forgotten about. So if Toriel basically abandonded everything about Chara.. Don't you think Chara would lash back out in anger..?

"I would say Chara only becomes heartless when you go through the genocide route, as when you start killing, you gain exp ( execution points) and when you gain exp you gain love, which causes the killer to become more and more detach to others and their emotions, to cause more pain."

..Wrong. YOU gain EXP. Chara gains power, but Frisk is the only one gaining EXP and getting corrupted.

"The snowdin monsters, or monsters in general haven't seen a human, only the older generation. (that being Asgore, Toriel and a few others I believe) It would a be weird if they knew how to capture humans when all they now is peace, and maybe a little tiny bit of war."

Yes, you are correct here. From a logical point of view, this is the most likely assumption. But we're not trying to find out the real reasons, we're trying to find out what Chara's interpretations of it all are. Chara doesn't know any of that! Just that they're terrible at war, which does indeed imply peace.. Which is completely contradictory to their core "kill or be killed" philosophy.

"Also (this is a after thought) at the end of the true pacifist route, didn't the player (could also be Chara) get the choice to do a true reset and decide to go a different path or not to reset and leave the game as is?"

Yes, we, Frisk, are the actual ones making the choice. Yet Flowey was talking to Chara-Perhaps he thought that Chara had taken over as the one with that ability? Chara's with us, as the narrator-So if Chara's there, then so are we:That's how we can hear the speech meant for Chara. So, if he thinks Chara's the one with the ability, and senses that they'd want to reset.. Then we get the speech we know of.. Chara being the only threat (no, it's us), and that Chara has probably heard this a hundred times already (meaning he predicted they would reset, not that Chara would have listened.) He couldn't have gotten if from us, seeing as we haven't demonstrated a desire to reset. So that comes from Chara. But, contrary to what Flowey believes, WE make the choice. It's hard to tell Frisk and Chara apart when they share a body, after all.
