Evil Teams

aether might have something to do with transferring with pokebank from gen 1, considering they say they have pokemon from far away from alola and from different worlds

If Team Skull and Aether Foundation are connected, would make sense if Skull kidnapped mons and Aether accepted them under the guise of saving and rehabilitating, as opposed to letting the owners take them to a standard Pokemon Center.

Would explain why Gladion is there with a chimera partner as an enforcer to see to it that the operations stay on course from within Skull.

I think they are probably evil but considering their artificial Island and Facility they're well established and don't have a bunch of thugs taking Pokemon from people.

I think the set up is that the Aether Foundation probably have a squeaky clean public face but they're probably doing the most dubious/evil things in the entire series behind closed doors.

I hope they move away from the "evil gang" setup that they've been using in literally every main game so far. Æther Foundation is a step in the right direction (company instead of a loose collection of criminals) but they can do more

It's worth noting that Æther doesn't have Grunts, it has Employees. That's a small change that emphasises their difference from Skull

I feel like Aether could be like Devon. Looks nice on the outside but might have some fishy stuff going on the inside.
They could be connected with the captains and have something to do with guzma's rejection.


The whole mother thing is definitely suspicious.

Team skull is clearly just a bunch of hooligans. The swelling of slowpoke just REEKS of team rocket.

Aether might have something to do with the legendaries whether good or bad. If they're actually bad thenI hope guzma fits along side you and helps you

Either way, I love what they're doing. They're FINALLY breaking away from the same old formula and pushing their boundaries. Whether or not it succeeds, you have to give them major props for trying.

Next level HR rep, anon. Just like Google's offices

There would be no reason for Gamefreak to design a huge organization like this unless they're going to play a major part in the story, and the only role a team as evidently powerful as Aether can play is that of an antagonist. If they're on the protagonist's side, there's not much conflict. If they're neutral, they probably weren't important enough to spend so much time on anyway.
