Is Team Aqua the only "evil team" in the history of Pokémon games that was actually in the right?

Why did Nintendo make an organization of "bad guys" but fail to actually make them bad guys? They're doing the proper and just thing and are justified in their efforts. Yet the game forces you to work against them.
Kinda strange.

Destroying the ecological balance of an entire region isn't doing the right thing.

No

None of the evil teams are right. That's why they're the evil teams.

Sorry but pokemon writing is not that deep. Live with it.

They don't want to make the planet be one giant ocean. They just want to expand the oceans and make the water level rise. They're pushing back the ruthless advance of the human species that has been threatening nature and pokémon at an alarming rate.

Meanwhile Team Magma was actually bad guys because they're anti-nature and tried to aid humankind in spreading out and claiming more of the planet at an even faster rate.

Just apply it to Earth.

Team Aqua = want to conserve and protect nature and the biomes of so many living species

Team Magma = not giving a fuck about nature, threatening endangered species, building more and more cities, skyscrapers and what have you, subdue the planet just for your own selfish goals

You should probably look up the side effects of the ruthless advance of the human species. One of the biggest effects that Global Warming is having is the melting of the polar ice caps which leads to The flooding of the planet and expansion of the oceans.

I wouldn't say they were 'in the right' but rather that they're the only team with a noble goal through and through. Just....stupid enough to not realize the consequences until it was too late.
[spoilers] They are most probably the canonical team on Hoenn too because Archie not realizing something so big is understandable as he's driven by emotion, but Maxie not realizing about the havoc his plan would cause not to pokémon but HUMANS it's just plain stupid, he's supposed to be a scientist, and a hella good one. [/spoilers]
I'm not counting BW's plasma here because that PETA-esque thing was nothing but façade.

I suppose N's side on BW2 would be the only other "noble" team? but I don't know jackshit about BW2 so I'll keep my opinions to myself

I'm the minority here probably, but the team I agree with the most was Team Plasma.

Bringing up the ethical dilemma of using pokemon to fight eachother and using them as tools was a pretty smart thing to do.

But I'm one of those animal rights veganfags.

Exactly. They didn't really explain a good reason to why Team Plasma's core message was wrong. Instead the made the leader a manipulative control freak that never believed in their message.

They're also more canonical because hiding out near the ocean and finding kyogre on the seafloor makes way more sense.

Team Aqua is probably one of the more sympathetic teams, since their overall intent of spreading water to allow life to flourish is alright. It's their general means and losing control of kyogre that fucked them.

Their plan to cause Mt. Chimney to become dormant is a better example. It would have made a new lake habitat sure, but it'd screw over the fire types.

The flaw in Team Aqua's plan is that pokemon can live anywhere.

Everyone wants money. You're an hypochrite if you disagree with them. Specially if you use their other "atrocities" like killing a feral marowak (you kill several pokemons during your journey) or eating slowpoke tails (fuck off vegan)
And they had casinos, people love casinos, only corrupt governments hate them because they don't like the competition

There was a romhack I saw a few years ago called Pokemon Purple version or Poison Purple or something like that, where you played as a team rocket grunt and had the options of Rattata, Ekans, and I think Koffing for starters, you'd be able to steal one of a trainer's Pokemon after beating them, that kinda thing. It was in the really early stages when I found it, not sure if it ever got developed further.
