>everyone wants to be Team Rocket>nobody wants to imagine themselves as a Magma/Aqua/Galactic/Flare GruntWhy is this? Why is the masculine urge of being a goon with a Zubat so powerful?
Because being an ecoterrorist is associated with being a onions-swilling transsexual and Nintendo doesnt have the balls to make an ideological crime group based on Islam so really Team Rocket is the only authentic antagonist group white people can latch onto.
>>59127022>faggot anon can't swill onions like a real man
>>59126988Team Rocket is the only evil team that has grounded appeal to being the bad guy because they're just the Mafia/Yakuza.Magma/Aqua are just radicalized environmentalists turned ecoterrorists, Galactic is a cult that'll drink the juice if Cyrus gets his way because he only intends for himself to be the sole resident and ruler of the new universe, and Lysandre will probably just kill everyone else in Team Flare if he gets his way because it's only a matter of time before his mindbreak leads to him losing trust in anyone but himself, the TRULY virtuous leading elite, the TRULY fair and just arbiter of right and wrong,Team (Neo) Plasma's great if you want to be a Saturday Morning Cartoon Villain's goon, though. You get to say retarded shit and kick Munna all day.
>>59126988I like Team Magma because their grunts are the cutest.
>>59126988Going off how much /vp/ loves Marnie, I feel like a lot of them would join Team -S̶i̶m̶p̶ Yell.
>>59126988I would join Neo-Plasma. They seem like the strongest evil faction
>>59127067>Team (Neo) Plasma's great if you want to be a Saturday Morning Cartoon Villain's goon, though. You get to say retarded shit and kick Munna all day.If I had to join any Team, it'd either be Rocket or Plasma.
>>59126988speak for yourself
>>59127067You're forgetting that you have to pay 10,000 dollars to join Team Flare meaning it's just a death cult for the rich.
>>59126988>why is the team in the constantly shilled kanto region popular?i wonder why
>>59127155It's not popular because it's shilled, it's shilled because it's popular.
>>59127180Team Rocket is only popular because of the anime.
>>59127183True. But they also have the bonus of doing the whole evil team thing first, and every team since is just a slightly different copy.
Giovanni is the most like a yakuza figure. Almost every other gang is more cult like, and could trigger doomsday events. Skull isn't a cult, but no one in Alola takes them seriously. They live on the worst side of town, they aren't making money, they can't keep the lights on. They're more like a high school gang than organized crime. Then Star is...Just a high school gang.
>>59127180>only popular thing get shilledI didn’t know meganium was the most popular johto starter
>>59126988For most people it's probably just because the uniform is cool. That's literally it.I just replayed Kanto recently and the Rocket grunts all generally feel super lame in terms of fucking up and dropping the lift key etc. Giovanni feels more threatening by comparison going by his dialogue but then has an even shittier team. It's not like I expected them to be cool, but they fuck up more than I remembered.But the uniform is still cool.
>>59126988Because they just keep things simple in a kids game. They're evil and want to rule the world, no bullshit about about land vs water, creating new universes, freeing pokemon, destroying life and immortality, controlling other-dimensional entities, addressing energy shortages, dealing with school bullies or any other faggy dumb horseshit.
galactic is probably fun to be in, most of them just seem like goofballs fucking aroundbut if you perform too well then the world ends, so that's kind of a problem
