Personally, Ambitious. Idealistic retarded felt dumb even when I was a kid. I dealistic extremist is nice for a final fantasy, but in PKMN feels like a bad isekai. I can't really criticize Skull and Star, but they didn't grow on me.

Social rejects are some of the more realistic type of team…and I don’t know why they’ve been pushing them so hard when they’re going to extremes in every other direction

You don't like riding your super advanced robodino motorcycle from the future to go beat up some school bullies? Fine, how about a mythical wolf from the forgotten lore of a bygone era that fought against an interdimensional skeleton dragon god of bigger to fight some rowdy sports fans?

Put Galactic and Flare in idealistically retarded
>Cyrus: Waaah I can't form bonds with people or pokemon I hate feelings, this means the world is imperfect, I will now devote my life to make the world as bland and boring as I am
>Lysandre: NOOOOOOO humanity is polluting and destroying the world, we must keep the world vibrant and beautiful! How will I accomplish this? By creating a doomsday device that wipes out all life on earth.

I always imagine Maxie being the sensible one and actually wanting to help humanity by expanding land territory in a region primarily dominated by water. Archie meanwhile's the idiotic gigachad who wants nothing more than to expand the already expansive ocean just because he wants to. They'd make for great comedic foils to each other.

Neo Plasma and Team Skull teams aren't half bad. Galactic is shit like the rest, but it's actually quite good when talking into consideration how garbage the Sinnoh dex is. Conversely, Team Aqua and Magma grunt teams are even worse than they look since there are a lot of ground/rock/fire and water types they could've chosen from in Hoenn, but they went the Team Rocket route.

It's more like the Hoenn legendaries were just too much for them. Them fucking off and unleashing world ending weather wasn't part of the plan.

It was for Archie, though. He very clearly wants to destroy civilization in ORAS.
Then he receives a report saying the world destroying rainfall is...going to destroy the world and he freaks out.
Maxie should honestly be placed in idealist extremist but Archie is fine where he is. Maybe add the SV professor and Rose to keep him company.

>almost every single Pokemon here is Dark, Poison, or Bug
There was no reason for Game Freak to do this. Feels more like a typecast than anything. "These are BAD Pokemon coming from BAD types, so only BAD people use them", all of which is blatantly false. While I cannot recall the regional Dexes from each game, they could have done more to flourish each organization with types and themes.
>Galactic incorporating Steel, Psychic, Electric, and "manmade" species to tie into the heavily scientific, intellectual, and new world themes
>Magma using Fire, Rock, and Ground; while Aqua uses Water, Flying, and Electric to demonstrate the forces of the land and seas respectively
>granting Flare "beauteous" and "attractive" Pokemon that can garner the public's attention and illustrate the image of Lysandre's idyllic world (although, he wishes to save all Pokemon and nature of course)
Also Team Skull not having a single Mimikyu on it is baffling. Something different could be done with the Team's roster of Pokemon, but I could not say "what" exactly.

Gen 7 had two evil teams with one breaking the mold completely and following it in gen 8 we had an “evil” team comprising of a fan base. I’m super happy gen 7 broke the mold for Pokémon and I’m happy they’re trying new approaches with the “evil” teams. Gen 9 having the team be your schoolmates is cool af. I’m excited to see what else they can come up with

Do you just not read, anon? Are you illiterate?

Flare grunts are spoiled rich kids that donated a fortune to Lysandre, just so when he nukes the world, he'll let them be one of the chosen few that survive.
They tell you themselves in the dialogue. They're FULLY aware that they're gonna destroy the world.

I don't understand why so many people lump Cyrus in with the idealistically retarded crowd. He actually nearly achieved his goal of remaking the universe in his image. Who cares if he was dissatisfied with the human condition? He almost remade the world.

Nah, Archie makes it clear he doesn't mind if every human gets killed without precisely saying that due to it being a kid's game.
>We are creating a world in which innocent Pokémon suffer as a result of our actions… And that is something that I can't forgive! That's why I came to a decision, see? The foolish actions of my fellow humans, the seas we have blighted, nature itself… I will return everything to its unspoiled beginnings!
>I've been waiting so long for this day to come. We humans have disregarded Pokémon and nature both in our endless pursuit of our own desires and needs… And in the process, we've created this broken and disordered world… But this is the day when I finally obtain the power to return everything to how it once was―to return to our beginnings!
>All that matters is… That I have used the Blue Orb to awaken Kyogre… And now… I will return this world to its natural state… The state that is best for Pokémon!
Which is bizarre because that's precisely what Kyogre was going to do. There's also the fact that Archie I guess just forgot that there are Pokemon who live on land and would die off if the sea level rised excessively.
Maxie also has the opposite goal but it makes more sense, increase land to increase human development and resources, with nothing to suggest that he wanted to completely eradicate the ocean like Archie wanted to do to the land.
