For example, there's the really iconic Coquí, a type of frog (technically multiple species) that make a really distinctive whistling sound as their mating call. It's also home to multiple bioluminescent bays.
It's also home to the real-life Team Rocket, because some fuckhead dicksucker security worker at the San Juan airport broke my luggage open and stole my Pokémon X out of it when I was a kid, then put it back on the conveyors with a broken zipper and clothes literally spilling out of it. I had a fucking shiny Skiddo.
Based off of this, the evil team can be something like... corrupt/impostor workers at the ports discretely poisoning the Pokémon of incoming tourists, claiming it's a disease they're trying to stop the spread of, and then taking them away ("to be treated") for some greater nefarious purpose or another using that as pretext.
And if the game ever detects a shiny Skiddo/Gogoat caught in 2013 gen 6 with my name as the OT, it overwrites your console's sysNAND with goatse and dispatches the Nintendo Ninjas to the billing address associated with your eShop account.
