Leakers are well into the game and none have mentioned Team Flare in a favorable light. In fact if anything they all say the story is overly-simplistic and disappointing. Reviewers say the same and that it's childish, disappointing for older players who are long-time fans of the series.

Is it safe to say yet that this team is just as much a failure as Team Galactic? There's no sign of any interesting villains or characters within the team, their goal is obviously two-dimensional and for novelty alone. The only thing I can say in the group's defense is that they go well with gen six's focus on Fairy-types... but that's only skin deep.

To re-iterate, is it safe to assume this team is shit?
