Appealing to kids in modern times. Soccer moms will throw a fit over the obvious parallel to a Mafia mob with Team Rocket so now we have “bully” high school clubs.

You are a lone adventurer aspiring to become the best but you have a jerk rival and there are bad guys getting in your way

>Masuda directing a game
You are nice kid with nice friends encouraging you to go further but there are psychos trying to change the world with grandiose plans getting in the way

>Ohmori directing a game
You are a member of a big institution following its rules in a local cultural challenge along with your fellows, but there are dissidents who rebel against the rules of the institution

The 3 have core differences on what constitutes an adventure.

Calling them "Goofy Saturday morning villains." is too generous. Their entire existence feels like an afterthought.
>Skull
Fake out evil team unknowingly covering for the Aether Foundation
>Yell
Barely even a presence. Macro Cosmo was the real evil team, and you'd only notice they're a stereotypical evil megaconglomerate if you bothered with the PokeJob crap.
>Star
Cool boss fights, I guess. The Star Road quest felt like even more of an afterthought than the Team Flare storyline

Team Skull was a decent bait and switch for marketing so you wouldn't suspect Aether/Lusamine right away. Team Yell and Team Star didn't need to exist and were only there to give you grunts to fight because the actual villain is just one dude working alone. I think GF is tired of the "evil team" trope and probably the whole Gym thing too, but is afraid of changing the formula too much or maybe they just don't know what to replace it with.

Pokemon really got it right the first time with Team Rocket. While they do heinous shit like kill Marowak and kidnap Slowpoke, they're still pretty goofy and you can't take them too seriously - just enough to motivate you to beat them.
I don't know how it stopped being about the actual Pokemon, somehow we ended up with Pokemon villains who get bullied at school or some shit. Wtf does this have to do with pokemon

It takes place at a school about Pokemon. The villains of a school setting are either delinquents or the staff, take your pick.

Based. It should also have guns and let you cook and eat Pokemon. Maybe make it a big open-world game, where you can craft your own base and make Pokemon farm resources for you. Now THAT would be based.

They probably stopped after all the complaints about Gen 3-6, having crazy plots about the end of everything.

Maybe Pokémon could return to stopping street level crime, if any at all. Maybe have no more villains at all? But different types of conflict.

pokemon should take a page out of san andreas, and have the bad guys be a drug cartel. a super conformist society like japan would eat that shit up, and so would caucasian countries that are currently drowning in just a bit too much personal freedom.
