Now let's just hope that the next games introduce major changes to Team Flare and the plot so that we may get something epic. xD
Because lets be honest, nothing that Team Flare did in the games really stood out much at all. Lurking at an abandont mine, lurking around a city, holding a powerplant/factory hostage and.. chasing after wild pokémon (how dare they!), before standard region-threatening climax. The holding powerplant/factory-hostage thing was the only real time I felt that the plot got somewhere and even than I wondered WHY are they in a PokéBall-factory? It just didn't make sense. Compare that to Team Galactic's shenanigans (Mars held a powerplant hostage as well), which included
blowing up a lakes.
But maybe if the action wasn't that great, maybe the story was better? Nope. I only remember Lysandre. He had female cronies that weren't worth remembering (afterwards I found out that Malva was in his crew as well, but I didn't remember her either), and this weird "scientist"-type guy that just stood out for looking as if he had a mental-disease. Than there's the lack of an actual story, which was replaced by random events. Lysandre: "I want to restore the ancient weapon!" seven random events later and "I've got the ancient weapon restored!! WHAHAHAHA!".. Ooookay.. o.0 Nothing about how he got Yveltal/Xerneas there or anything from what
I can remember.. >.>
Whatever comes next in the main franchise, with regardes to Zygarde and Team Flare, it better be good and it better be logical and have a better story behind it.
And in terms of the animé, all I can hope for is that if they go this route with Team Flare, that they do it ala Episode N, but in between Gym 7 and Gym 8 and WITHOUT, I specify WITHOUT Charizard being present.
