Team Skull aren't the main villains, Lusamine and Aether are
Regardless though, they're a bunch of kids who failed their trials and had to resort to crime just to get by
It's just a mix of kids that failed their trials and a mix of kids that feel like the world is against them.
I could be wrong but I always got the idea that they were sort of a distraction from what aether was doing? They'd steal Pokemon to sell on for money but the aether foundation would then 'save' them and look good in the public eye
They're just petty crooks who are in it for the money, hired by the real antagonist.
I'd love if Gen VIII had just one villain who wasn't part of a team, who pulled the strings of different people in the region to accomplish his goals, Dark Knight style.

This is basically it. They're the Team Snagem to Aether's Cipher.

Why do real life gangs do anything? They had no end goal. Just a bunch of social misfits lashing back at society. The Aether Foundation used this as a way to further their end goals.

Female grunt wants a lovey-dovey boyfriend to do lovey-dovey stuff with.
Male grunt wants money and probably a tender loving gf that can see the beautiful person hiding behind his bluster and rough attitude

Sorry to break it to you, but after this last shitshow of a generation i think GF is hanging up the towel
>>31821798
GF will keep making Pokemon games as long as they keep making money, and even if GF decides they don't want to make Pokemon games anymore, Nintendo will hand it over to another studio
