In X, Lysandre still tries to kill everyone initially with the ultimate weapon--he just reacts differently to losing, since when he loses, that's when he tries to make you and your friends immortal, while in Y he reacts by trying to kill you with the last bit of power of the ultimate weapon. In X, it's quite possible he managed to fire on himself and make himself immortal, before getting buried under a mountain of rubble. It's technically possible he's still alive under there, stuck forever, surrounded by the bodies of everyone in Team Flare who died when their hideout collapsed. Ouch.

[@GeorgeDCowley]

Not necessarily forever. I could easily see him being unearthed at any point in the future.

I like to think that Cyrus's line about interfering wasn’t intentionally written like that to show his fear or whatever, but it was Giratina's ability fucking everything up so much, it essentially made the entire scene repeat itself like a video game crash before it jumpscared everyone. In other words: Its very presence broke time and space. Giratina is scary af.

[@ginar2339]

If you look at Bulbapedia, the team skull lore is MUCH weirder than you think. Apparently a former Kahuna formed a gang/cult at some point, which pissed of the Tapus, so the Tapus struck that Kahuna down and the survivors of that group formed Team Skull. Not sure why they included all that. Also, if you go to Guzma’s childhood home, you can find that his room is filled with second and third place trophies. Rip.

At first I though the last two gens' villain teams were kinda silly, but then I started to like them because of the silliness. Team Yell being basically a fanboy legion is by far one of the goofiest ideas I've ever seen, while Team Star is straight up an anti bully student group that went nuts after the leader was missing they becabe labeled themselves as bullies by the other students for pushing other too much to get new members.I love how the principal request your help to find out what's going on because his first priority is to solve the issue about his students being skipping classes for a while all of a sudden.

[@DustyPhantom-ne5hy]

Minor correction: When Team Star stood up to their bullies, they themselves were the ones who got punished for retaliating rather than the bullies, which is why they left the school. The grunts bullying other students are acting against the interests of the Squad Leaders.

I thought Lysandre was going to kill a whole ton of people with the weapon in both games, but the player’s interference made him decide to use the low-powered weapon to punish the player. In Y the low-powered weapon would kill the player, but in X he recalls its other purpose and threatens to make you live forever so you’d see how humanity never changes or improves forever.

Team Star

[@locomotivo4644]

"Somehow, Team Rocket Returned!"

[@giboit.]

Team Yell was never meant to be the evil team of the region to begin with. That's just a huge misconception. The plot twist with team yell is that they were the citizens and gym trainers from Spikemuth that created "Team Yell" as a facade to support Marnie, the person they put their hopes on to bring back life to their decadent town. They only did silly morally grey things (like "helping dreadnaw to cross the road" and "helping silicobra sleep well") in an attemp to delay the other gym challengers and that way stop them for making it in time to complete the gym challenge. In fact, in the silicobra scene you can see that they allow normal citizens to pass but not the gym challengers specifically. They also wanted the bike from the doctor npc to chase them around and making them all tired. After they saw that even like that the gym challengers (and specially you, the player) still managed to get to spikemuth, they panicked and that's when they did the only real "illegal" thing againts them (by blocking the entrance to spikemuth to completely stop them from having a battle againts Piers). When Marnie found out about this, she called them out and she even let the player (and probably all the other gym challengers) go ahead and battle Piers before her as an apology. Thanks to her skills as a trsienr she managed to make it in time and became one of the finalists of the tournament. However, at the end, she lost but still was able to make the public cheer for her battles (she originally considered that becoming the champion was the only way of genuinely gain the attention and popularity as a trainer that she required to bring the spotlight to her town, but she changed her mind after seeing how much people cheered for her battles) which inspired her to take the role of gym leader from Piers and that way bring back life to spikemuth. By the way, the real evil team of the region is the secret branch of Macrocosmos (owned by Rose and directed by Oleana) that was in charge of the development of the plan with Eternatus, along with the ambush/kidnapping of Leon in his way to his dinner with Hop and the player and the delay of the player and hop (that Oleana organized even ending up battling herself againts the player) all of it to gain as much time for Rose to try to convince Leon one last time of participating in the plan by his own will.

[@foolofdaggers7555]

“Let’s agree to be homies once this kid solves all our problems” is a far cry from the Pokemon Adventures manga where they get possessed by the elemental orbs and team up to wipe their opposition (aka basically every battle-capable trainer in Hoenn) so they can fight to the death uninterrupted.

It's heavily implied that Guzma's dad abused him with those clubs until Guzma fought back and ran or just ran away.

[@prof.thiagoalmeida1226]

For me, as a teacher, the entire Team Star plot is very realistic. The principal (Clavell) making it his top priority to carry out an active search to find students who are missing classes so that they don't drop out or fail the year... The pedagogical team at the school where I work does this every day, even going into dangerous areas because it's what do education authorities expect from us...

[@itzdarealpokeplayer8223]

Exactly! Though it’s easy to just miss what Team Star is, at its core, its a team of kids who tried to stand up for themselves, and took the fall for it. Because of that, they can no longer go back, and they slowly stray from their original path

[@dasirrlicht5415]

Don't Forget! Unlike every other team that has to be foiled in their plots multiple times, Team Star bullied exactly once on-screen and it was a random pair of grunts. In the tutorial. Their only crimes are skipping (apparently otherwise voluntary) classes and violations of the school dress code (And even there, the grunts agurably follow the dress code). They do not even attack you until you initiate conflict with them, and you do that only because you are being lead astray by the person who used to be their boss. Who also happens to commit several cyber crimes to aquire the funds used to bribe you into doing her bidding.

[@tinyshinyfeathers]

It's worth mentioning that the villains in the Ranger games are also trying to kill/injure the protagonist, or at the very least break your styler. They use the mons they control to attack _you_ directly, and in both sequels you can actually die (both times by taking too long to plug/exit a sinking vessel).

[@halinaqi2194]

Yeah the shade at the pinchers was unwarranted lol I love those little goofballs and unlike a lot of the main story villains, red eyes and blue eyes go through character development. They actually have honor and comraderie. Also I'm not gonna lie, they sort of feel like a mercenary group..? Like idr the story too well since I played it as a kid, but weren't they tipped off about the legends of the islands by someone else? And in the last bit of the game, you don't revenge really fight the pinchers as they were mostly loyal to red and blue (blue especially) so once they decided to leave, you are usually fighting the steel heads.

[@tinyshinyfeathers]

[@Manpag]

Team Star is interesting in that you can argue the player character kind of joins it. Never officially, but since the original Team Star was just the leader and her friends, with whom you're all on good terms by the end of the story, I think you're kind of in it by default. The fact that completing their post-game DLC story gives you all the Team Star uniform practically confirms it.

[@Fanimati0n]

Ghetsis might have been able to become champion, but his ideals were impure & spoke nothing but lies, so neither Reshiram nor Zekrom would ever acknowledge him. N is pure in his ideals & never once tells a single lie. It's why he NEEDS N. He needs someone that one of the dragons will acknowledge, so ppl will listen & hand over their pokemon willingly instead of trying to take them by force

[@JZJ7777]

Yeah, he may need N, but it’s obviously not in a loving fashion. He may be N’s foster father, but the only reason why was to use him for his evil deeds, showing absolutely no love for N. You wouldn’t think they’re foster father and son just by looking at them and their relationship with each other.

[@giboit.]

Summary of Team Star: The team Star leaders were bullied because the bullying was out of control in the school (in the past). Organized by Penny they decided to defend themselves, made costumes and the starmobile to look intimidating and confront their bullies. As soon as the bullies saw them, they ran away in fear and left the school without even fighting. As a result the staff thought that Team Star did something to them (leading to their bad reputation and to Penny being sent away to Galar as punishment). Without their leader the other team star members stopped going to classes due to their new reputation and other students started to join them due to the bullying they suffered at school. The internal scandal about the bullying being so bad and out of control that the students were literally creating gangs to defend themselves from it was so serious that all the staff quitted at the same time in shame and due to fear of being held responsible for something. Which is why all the teachers that you see in the game are completely new staff that doesn't have more than 1 year and a half as members of the school. As a result Clavel, the new director had no way to know what actually happened in the academy but heard rumors about Cassiopeia and operation Starfall (a.k.a Penny's plan to dissolve the team) but he didn't know what that operation was and thus decided to investigate on his own with the intention of expelling them if they were planning to do something bad against the school. Which is why Penny recruited the player to help her to defeat them and force them to quit their roles as team star leaders according to their code before the misunderstandings about what happened could get them expelled.

"Nobody likes faba" but I like faba. I must be nobody...he's such a loser babygirl please give him ONE win.

[@UnkownWonders]

I love faba too he is so silly and goofy

[@angi183]

HE IS SUCH A BABYGIRL. I am glad other people think so too. He needs some love

[@jeffreymullin291]

Is that Steven Seagal? 5:37

[@peternkoya9309]

Why is it that other than team Rocket they were doing to much or too little 😂

[@clintonbehrends4659]

because team rocket is actually based on real criminals and thus usually hit a sweet spot off being genuinely threatening but not cartoonishly evil

[@ShadowMuppetX]

@@clintonbehrends4659 But they still disbanded because a ten year old's pets beat up their boss' pets. *shrug* I actually prefer the 'evil teams' from the last three gens. Team Rocket is just the least dumb of the ones that are *supposed* to be threatening.

[@Freedmoon44]

​@@ShadowMuppetXthey disbanded because said 10 years old litteraly prevented several of their operations took out their main hideout singlehandedly and is strong enough to actually try to claim the title of Champion, it may be absurd that a 10 years old did it but by the end this 10 years old could have like 3 legendary bird so he coule freely controll the climate and summon Lugia technically lol, its a walking nuke factory

[@TonyRedgrave]

Team Cipher is pretty close to Team Rocket. They build on the steal-a-bunch-of-pokemon plan by turning them into shadow pokemon (a clear metaphor for animal abuse) and setting up a Colosseum to hold Shadow Pokemon matches for the rich to bet on. They are very much evil, but still realistically grounded in goals and motives.

[@Thepurplefinatic]

2:24 they kidnapped a entire town during xd

[@princesscadance197]

2:28 ‘And then you’re not sure what to believe anymore’ Makes sense to me. I don’t understand half the teams in this series.

[@SepHar58]

5:09 looks like someone at the pokemon company had a lot of fun designing someone lmao

[@delinquenter]

Ay, the "Yo, yo, yo-guy" is ever fangirls' favourite. I've seen the countless fanart of the female protagonist giving him chocolates and flowers when talking to him.

[@_inku]

9:53 what do you mean I'm just now discovering his plan is different depending on the version of your game ????

[@Manueltion15]

Okay but team skull has mad drip

[@MaddyRaddy9]

Ayyyyyyyy, it's ya boi, Guzma!

[@GothitallicaALT]

12:31 well as Faba’s one fan I can confirm this is true

[@BeantheSnom]

Actually, I'm a Faba fan as well. He's probably the most underrated Pokémon character in the entire franchise

[@angi183]

Omg that makes us already 3. Faba is literally my favorite character and I draw him quite often 😭💚

[@angi183]

​@BeantheSnom such a good character fr!! I am so glad that they gave him so much screentime in the Anime. They did him great in my eyes

[@giraffegirl1691]

Somewhere out there, there is a pokemon universe where all the spinoff villains succeeded and are ruling the earth and have made all the mainline villains their unpaid interns. Someday, they will come for team rainbow rocket and TROUNCE them.

[@gladys2563]

Isn't it funny that greatly organized mafia gets dunken on by one or two 10 year olds

[@Laserrobot]

Team skull is just chilling just CHILL GUYS CHILL

[@cflim0725]

Where's my boy Nobunaga ? Pokemon Conquest gets no love even here

[@MtheUndefeated]

Its funny how when ghetsis whatches parenting tutorial we see a video of ash who doesnt even have a dad 💀💀

[@thegreatyoutuber6310]

The fact that Pokémon villains have gone to creating a new universe to being bully and now bullying for revenge-

[@angelor9211]

Sun and Moon was the only one that made the main villains interesting by making their lives a soap opera

[@jesusportillo201]

Lyssandre technically wanted to destroy France so he wasn't so bad after all

[@SheetGhostWithBones]

Lysandre was the real hero

[@JuneJune-BM]

i think you forgot to say how hot guzma is

[@Forgottensnapdragon]

No he didn't

[@IsThatMeChat]

N is the definition of: Do u hear him? He's talking! TALKING I TELL YOU!

[@alittlebitofeverythingyt7394]

Team Flare are fucking brutal in the manga. They’ve always been some of my favs, and I won’t take the slander. Also SCREW FABA I HATE THAT MAN SO MUCH-

[@neoswagtwigofthetwignation9778]

Faba looks like the kind of guy who shouldn't be within 50 yards of an elementary school.

[@NilaIldefonso]

dude when the jumpscare happened also as an ad

[@shewolfcub3]

They also in a way took Mr Fuji hostage as well; Team Rocket is definitely the greatest team and I love how dark they get in the gen 1 games

[@neoswagtwigofthetwignation9778]

Team Rocket: the mob Team Magma/Aqua: eco terrorists Team Galactic: terrorists/sci-fi cosplayers Team Plasma: terrorists/fantasy cosplayers Neo Team Plasma: the fantasy cosplay was just a phase Team Flare: terrorists/Gucci runway models Team Skull: street gang Aether Foundation: nature reserve/alien enthusiasts Team Yell: Soccer/punk rock fans Team Star: "BUT THEY STARTED IT!"

[@My1xT]

Fun fact shadow pokemon are called crypto pokemon in german, which aligns a lot with the cipher thing lol

[@jasdenlol]

That team magma explanation made my braincell count go negative

[@MajikButton]

longest one minute of my life

[@parkwoojin1875]

You earned an immediate like when you brought up Colosseum and XD

[@LatinaCreamQueen]

Just realized Galaxy is a doomsday cult...

[@hollowinside9511]

Actually its revealed that team star werent actually bullying anyone, its a whole rumor mill situation and is actually a decent portrayal of how outcasted kids often get blamed and targeted just for standing up for themselves

[@Eclipsedtiger]

The fact Lysander tried to kidnap ash in the show (pokemon xyz) is crazy

[@Lenkasetruther]

I keep reading the thumbnail as "YO YO YO PERISH"

[@r.m.b9675]

I cannot believe Volo isn't here :(

[@Ducky_Gaming_Axolotol]

You forgot something. Team star bullies their leader. 😂

[@raphaelreacts1936]

15:22 bfdi talking noises

[@lunar_eclipse.k45]

I KNEW IT

[@GeorgeDCowley]

6:35 Worth mentioning a fair portion of the Team believed in its apparent goals, to the point of defecting. Humorously, _they_ kept the original dress code. 15:35 Besides maybe Team Skull.

[@deadlineuniverse3189]

I expected a video that’s 1 minute long that “explains” every teams lore with a quick one liner
