For one thing the grunts are rather goofy and make it clear they don't understand what Cyrus wants but they follow him so blindly, Sinnoh has a lot of religious themes so this can be seen as a reference to cult worship. Their hideout in Veilstone is great as well. On the surface they're just researching energy but the deeper you go within the building, the music changes and the tone becomes a lot more creepy. Especially when you see how the lake guardians have been tortured to build the red chain and how horrified the scientists working there were.

If Sinnoh remakes ever happen I hope they don't downplay the darker parts of the team
