So will teams from now on just be harmless mischief makers instead of actual villains doing illegal shit and seeking to destroy stuff?

Yell was even worse than Skull

prior to Skull, it's been years since we've had an evil team that isn't just "destroy the world".

Yes, because you aren't allowed to have actually evil people anymore.
They need to be justifiable misfits or people with genuinely good intent that's just executed retardedly.

Team Skull was funny though, and they felt more like a group than Yell. Team Tell is just a bunch of pedos and lesbians who follow a little girl around. Also, Aether Foundation was a way better evil organization than Macro Cosmos, who only existed for like, 5 seconds?

Game Freak wants to tell stories about evil corporations now, probably because they've become one, so the rogue criminals following their heart need to be less threatening or the message falls apart.

I hope so. Having Pokemon that can easily cause an apocalypse, AND having an evil team (or multiple) that want to do that, AND having a secret hidden villain in the background is just too much narrative for a mediocre writing team like the one that makes Pokemon to do well. For instance, if Team Skull hadn't been such a generic bunch of teenage misfits in SM, the Aether Foundation's schemes wouldn't have been brought across as well as they were.

It makes more sense that a random 10 year old can topple hoodlums than it does when they topple rich nobles trying to conquer/ destroy the world.

Yeah up until the retarded twist where it’s revealed that they were secretly generic “take over the world” villains all along

That’s a good thing, they actually seem like criminals, better than team magma/aqua/galactic/plasma/flare who want to blow up/take over the world because ‘lol we’re evil’

Team Skull was great because it was a good break off from the norm of James Bond evil villains. It felt natural and supported the idea that there are just regular street gangs filled with misunderstood misfits and thugs. They also visually looked cool.

Team Loud is just average all around. The idea of asshole sports fans really isn't that relatable and it doesn't help that the male grunts are fat and ugly. Visually they look ok but they really don't have the same simple charm of teak skull. They also have an almost outdated 80s punk look. They also don't really feel like a complete team that even remotely gives a shit about each other.

Well, wicked people do exist. They may not twirl their mustache or maniacally laugh at everything, but they do exist. Not everyone has good intentions or tragic beginnings. Some people just want their piece and will hurt and/or manipulate others to do so.
