Team Galactic are probably the most 'religious movement/cult' of all the Villain teams, but certainly aren't astronauts. They want to create a new world using the Legendaries that Arceus created.

Aether Foundation's main focus was the study of Ultra Beasts, so they are less WWF and more of an 'extraterrestrial cult/following'.

>>30997289
Hear me out guys: people with the abilities of pokemon

I don't get why people still say Aqua/Magma are environmentalists. ORAS Magma are scientists who want to help advance humanity, ORAS Aqua are basically animal rights activists who want people to stop destroying the ocean for Pokemon's sake.

>>30997474
ultra beast are pokemons and pokemons are technically animals so Aether is indeed WWF

>>30997636
Because no one on /vp/ paid attention to the story in Gen VI games at all

>>30997636
because people always use thier Gen 3 Teams when talking about what Hoenn does in general, then uses ORAS to get into specifics.

So you hear they were environmentalists, but they did it to help advance humans."

AND THEN YOU ADD KURT ANGLE TO THE MIX, YOU THE CHANCES OF WINNING DRASTIC GO DOWN! SEE THE 3 WAY AT SACRIFICE YOU GOT A 33 1/3 CHANCE OF WINNING. BUT I, I GOT A 66 2/3 CHANCE OF WINNING CAUSE KURT ANGLE KNOWS HE CAN'T BEAT ME AND HE'S NOT EVEN GONNA TRY! SO SOMOA JOE YOU TAKE YOUR 33 1/3 CHANCE MINUS MY 25% CHANCE AND YOU GOT 8 1/3 CHANCE OF WINNING AT SACRIFICE. BUT THEN YOU TAKE MY 75% CHANCE OF WINNING IF WE WAS TO GO 1 ON 1 AND THEN ADD 66 2/3 %. I GOT A 141 2/3 CHANCE OF WINNING AT SACRIFICE! SENIOR JOE?THE NUMBERS DON'T LIE AND THEY SPELL DISASTER FOR YOU AT SACRIFICE!

I'd like to see a team dominated by non-whites, like to be honest why in Alola of all places is the team still a bunch of pasty white people, I want some color in my villians every once in a while.

Ah, so you mean all of the anime asians from the first four gens and most of Aether.

People from the UB dimension, scared and confused, and their leader doing whatever it takes to get back home.

>>30997635
Plasma is a bit more varied than that. There were people (N, the guys who would later join reformed Plasma) who genuinely believed in Plasma's manifesto already in BW1, but there were also those (Ghetsis, the guy who kicks Munna, those who form NeoPlasma in general) who just used the organization as a front for their plans of domination and were waiting for N to seize power so Ghetsis could manipulate him. When N got defeated, Ghetsis dropped the charade and with him all of his followers, making Neo Team Plasma.
The Flare description is spot on, but people will continue saying Lysandre is a Nazi who wanted to "kill everyone because he wants a beautiful world", missing the point of his character.
>>30997662

Woah what the fuck?

>Team Spooky
They believe all the dark and twisted stories about ghost pokemon. They kidnap people and try to force the creation of more ghost pokemon from human souls.

>Team Evo
They believe the true purpose of pokemon is to attain perfection through evolution. They want to force new evolutions and exterminate pokemon that can't evolve.

>Team Cyber
They believe that humans shouldn't store pokemon digitally if they are not willing to be digitized themselves. They send bad trainers to their boxes to spend time with their pokemon digitally.

>>30999839
Team Evo at least would do a better job than Game Freak by fixing basic stage shitmons that can't evolve.

did the WWF try to open a portal to another dimension or something?

WWF is the World Wildlife Foundation or some shit. They sued the wrestling company a while back for the name rights, so that's why they're WWE now.

Nah, they were a bunch of Randroids that thought that John Galt didn't go far enough.

Then why did he charge so much money? And why were all of his grunts rich elitists?

>>31001273
To use it to advance Lysandre Labs progress, whose technology will play a major role in the quality of life of the new world.
The point of the grunts in every game is that they're the masses bandwagoning for personal reasons while missing the point of what their goal is: in Team Flare's case, thinking "beautiful world"=everyone acts snobbish and fashionable. Cyrus had a completely different goal from what he said in public and even the higher-ups like Saturn weren't aware of it.

You have a point about Plasma. BW Plasma was already a combination of both BW2 Plasmas.

>>30997635

to be fair on Aether. They really do seem to care about pokemon conservation and do good work at the lower/mid levels. Lusamine is basically insane and using the foundation for her own collection ends and Faba is a low ethics scientist taking advantage of the situation. So I guess the research and development team is corrupted along side the leadership, but the rank and file are hard working conservationists.

This could use an update but I'm far too lazy

UFC

>>30997635
How about a team based on supremacists? They want a supremacy of certain species or kinds of Pokémon, and those are the only Pokémon they use. This could also be an opportunity for GF to invent another feature similar to Alolan forms.

I actually made an evil team out this called the Prime Dynasty based on the KKK, and other supremacist groups. They only use crossbreeds (think fusions), with beneficial natures. And they want to rid the world of Pokémon they see as inferior. (Those who don't produce crossbred offspring)

>>31003160
Well could be loosely based on the KKK. Not perhaps directly inspired by the group.

>>31002957
The Lysandre one could also include the reason he feels the need to kill Pokémon (after he establishes his utopia, people using the power of Pokémon would be the only factor that could possibly destroy the balance) and his final speech when he finds the protagonists naive, showing them that, if humans were truly the beings inclined to improve themselves that Shauna talks about, wars would have ended a long time ago. But I think it would become too cluttered. Also, keep in mind that Giovanni is a mafioso in the localized versions: in the original ones, he is a Japanese yakuza.
That aside, it's a pretty good overview.

>>30997871
I thought they were hispanic

>>31003160
I was thinking maybe in another alpine region, they all find ice types superior and start trying to freeze things over .

Or maybe they like fire types and are freezing the region so only they fan have warmth

I actually did update this. I added Archer and fixes the Guzma text. But then I switched to making >>30997635 instead. I'll post the updated version when I get the chance I guess

>>31002857
This is true, though I'd say a large portion of the grunts are also a bit shady.

Its another Plasma situation where there is a clear division of good guys and bad guys within the group

Would Plasma also count as liberals/SJWs?

They present a seemingly noble goal, but are ultimately using it to a shady end, such as in this case, taking away people's only means of defending themselves against a totalitarian government that Ghetsis would institute.

>Rocket
Money-driven mafia.
>Neo Rocket
My favorite evil team. It's an organization led by a charismatic strong man that suddenly loses it, now in its death throes. Iraq post-Saddam: you knew what you were getting with my boy Hussein, but once he was ousted, there was a sudden loss of direction, and a big opportunity for aimless infighting, that it is now a far more dangerous place with him gone.
>Aqua/Magma
Ecoterrorists.
>AS Aqua

>OR Magma
Self-absorbed scientists who put technology before survival.
>Galactic
Very much a play on cults. All the grunts have no idea what they're working towards, the commanders enjoy the powertrip but are similarly clueless, and Cyrus is playing nine dimensional chess with himself. (He probably fucked Mars, imho sempai.)
>Plasma
A very subtle play on globalism. The fact there are references to the Illuminati is the only hint you will ever get. Think the new world order conspiracy: neoliberals like Obama/Clinton speak to global equality and humanity while in the position of power so that we all lower ourselves to the lowest common denominator, while they stay as they are in lordship over us. Ghetsis is your Merkel, and N is your naive kind-hearted Democrat.
>neo Plasma
Their sham exposed, they go buy a magic space boat and try to freeze the status quo in their favor (as they are still in a position that works to their advantage).
>Flare
Basically embody a lot of old ideas that society used to commonly accept that were taken to their extreme - eugenics, social pragmatism - by Nazi Germany and other regimes in the 30s/40s so they're now faux pas to even allude to anymore. Practical ideas, but we're too afraid to consider them. (Lysandre did nothing wrong.)
>Skull
Guzma got screwed over by Alolan tradition so wants to see it all upended in favor of something else. The Grunts are also no-child-left-behind dropouts.
>Aether
aka Cipher

>>31004297
100%. Plasma's allusions to being the Illuminati (P2 laboratory) means Ghetsis is a stand-in for any of Obama/Clinton/Merkel/Trudeau/etc. where they're going to preach equality as a means to get people to accept a lower standard of living, while maintaining their own. Ghetsis wanted to establish an oligarchy with himself in charge, not a social utopia, and N's naivety was a means to an end. Compare the Democratic party to your average misinformed leftist.

Shame none of this actually happened, Neo-rocket would've been way more interesting with the four executives all fighting to take control of the organization.

>>31007113
Better yet, what if no "team" shows up until the post game, or maybe even late game? Sure, a few subtle hints here and there, but nothing huge like Nugget Bridge or taking over a windmill.
What if you had a choice about whether or not you'd even stop them?
>Stop them
Big misunderstanding, international police were just doing some undercover work that you messed up. Now they need you to help fix it by catching X bad guy.
>Do not intervene
Avoid situation, police get some bad guys, but because you weren't there the head honcho got away and ambushes your character on a route.

And why haven't my Pokemon been stolen if I lose to a bad guy team? That would be cool. You'd have to go rescue them, and the boss of the mini operation would have your Mon, and you'd either have to KO it and beat him or catch it again in another PokeBall.

but its worth keeping in mind that japan has a lot of crazy really fundamentalist cults that appeal to people since their rhetoric is both simple and seemingly derived from foreign philosophy

The reality is that they tend to be managed by failed business types with an ax to grind against the economic clusterfuck that is japan's domestic commerical complex.

They tend to either fizzle out or just go so far pff the deep end they either drop poison gas into the subway, try to do a coup for north korea or smoke weed in osaka.

Unova looks like new york but Team Plasma is meant to be those western-seeming cults

>>31007113
I'd like a game with the rival as the only villain.
Have them start out all friendly like May/Brendan/Bianca/Hau, then have become a bit more antagonistic as time goes on and they keep losing, gradually trying to sabotage you and then finally going off the deep end and doing some totally immoral shit just to try and beat you.

When are we going to get a professor who's secretly working for or is the leader of the evil team? I can't believe it hasn't happened already.
