I think that this pattern will break, and this gen will have a much more laid back storyline with the complete absence of a villainous team for the first time ever.In terms of storyline, we’re probably going to get a story heavy plot with lots of cutscenes since odd numbered generations tend to do that ever since Gen 5.
Gen 5 and 7 were rather story heavy, the latter being frustratingly so cutscene heavy that I was begging for a skip button.
Gen 6 and 8 were not exactly what I call story heavy even by this franchise’s standards, the former being an excuse and spurring conversations about whether Team Flare was a group of Nazis (no, they are not; there is no nationalist ambition to Team Flare) and the latter being confusing over the main villain wanting to boil water.
S O L DIf we're focusing on the school theme, then I guess we get an evil Department of Education of sorts.
If we're going this route though, it makes me wonder what their aims are.S O L D
Always down for an evil teacher/school story.
I'm thinking that there is not going to be a villainous team at all.I feel like this region could possibly have a villainous team that are themed on PokeReligion or PokeMonarchy. If we're focusing on the school theme, then I guess we get an evil Department of Education of sorts.
Team Grape's ultimate goal is taking over the local vineyard.I am ready for a story with lower stakes where you don't bump into an evil organization on your way to the market and casually prevents the apocalypse on your lunch break.
Have Team Orange and Team Grape be rivals, you be part of one, no one is trying to bring doom by abusing a Legendary pokémon. Keep things grounded, simple and just fun.
@Mega Ampharos the Dragon found you a fellow history buff.if there is no nationalism, then there cannot be fascism. Fascism relies on the concept of a national identity either by blood or by culture. The nuances are rather difficult to use In a children’s game. Even many history students are baffled from 1848 (Springtime of Nations) to the nationalism born from anti-colonial sentiments post-1945. Team Flare being genocidal maniacs with in groups and out groups makes the whole thing ring hollow. They’re just ecoterrorists who want to preserve the beauty of the world from overconsumption. There is also is the classism aspect of Team Flare which is downplayed in the game, making them read more like Thomas Malthus than they do any nationalist regime.
Well they've used the games to call out certain things before. Unfortunately it won't be America's education system... unless they call out all of the systems with similar problems.If we're focusing on the school theme, then I guess we get an evil Department of Education of sorts.
Why not both? I like classes and extracurriculars.If we're going this route though, it makes me wonder what their aims are.
Team Orange: "Sports! Theater! EXTRA CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES!!!!!!!!!!"
Team Grapes: "Ohohoho! ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE is everything!"
Speaking of Nationalism and Fascism, as a history nerd, I would want an evil team based on something from the Spanish Civil War just before WWII (probably highly unlikely)if there is no nationalism, then there cannot be fascism. Fascism relies on the concept of a national identity either by blood or by culture. The nuances are rather difficult to use In a children’s game.

Can we have an evil team of mystics this time? Pokémon has had little in the way of mystical villains despite the abundance of spirits, psychics, and hex maniacs. Meanwhile, our current roster of villains are thugs or scientists:
Team Rocket: Thugs with evil scientists
Team Aqua and Magma: Thugs with a hint of ecoterrorism and in the case of magma scientists
Team Galactic: Evil physicists with energy obsession and a leader with delusions of godhood
Team Plasma: Creepy cult wing later introduce an evil scientist
Team Flare: Failed history majors who are too rich for their own good with evil scientists
Team Skull and the Aether Foundation: Regular school dropouts working as thugs for an evil scientist
Team Yell: Football hooligans. They are indeed the most evil.
Macro Cosmos: A guy who failed electrical engineering
That would be epic! Kinda like Rose, but actually well-executed. I once read a story where Leon was an evil mastermind (he died tho).How about making the champion an evil team leader?
