So from what we know so far.
Aether wants to share love with pokemon or even UB's that are from somewhere that is far off.
Aether has members named after invasive plants that fuck up Pacific islands. The locals (trial captains, hau, kukui, etc). seem to have names based on plants that got polynesian names/ were liked in old Hawaii.
Team skull has names based on plants that were brought to Hawaii that help the economy via export for decorations or are just used in local landscaping.
Hawaii, being an island, has several ecological threats to go along with its isolated beauty due to people thinking that they could bring things over for multiple purposes.
To beautify the state, bring over cool pets, accidental introduction, money, food, to get rid of other pests, or to replace animals that were forced into the mountains.
All the UB's currently could follow a few patterns from what they're based on.
Invasives, because they are invading from another dimension, and they're all possibly based on species that are invasive to Hawaii.
Mosquito's for killing the birds up to around 2000ft. Plus fuck mosquito bites.
Roaches for being a sign of poor sanitation/ fuck the flying ones.
Jellyfish 4/5 of the common shallow water species are thought to have come from shipping ballast or hull fouling. Plus, they don't have as many natural checks here.
They could be based on pests for similar reasons. Jellyfish swarms closing beaches would be an added reason for this theory. Albeit it's usually the native box jellies doing this. Portugese Man o Wars as well, but those are hydroids.
Invertebrates, due to the current trend.
I don't like the plankton theory since absorption doesn't really have anything in common with the proposed species, and roaches are depicted as h-hayai! all the time. Plus the roach is pretty and the mosquito isn't a frail fuck, so it's like an opposite of the common depictions.
