>>44374441Nah, the fact that Team Skull are explicitly losers who couldn't even complete the Island Trial and pretty blatantly the "dreg of society" due that and "Team Yell" are revealed to be the trainers of the Penultimate Gym makes a clear difference in tone. Skull has a "excuse" to be idiotic bumblefucks with shitmons.
It is actually a shame, because i was kinda interested in them (and Marnie) before the game came out because dealing with the Hooligans of a rival could been fun, but they don't really do ANYTHING aside from obsessing over like two Roadblock Mons and then block the Dark Gym, and then they are Good Guys.
