Ranking The Pokemon Antagonist/Villain Teams
Team Rocket (Kanto) 10/10 - Good starter villains. This ain’t peak Team Rocket, but this was still an alright base for future entries to improve and build upon, so it’s a 10/10.
Team Rocket (Johto) 3/10 - This is an UGLY blot on Rocket’s resume, but in all honesty with Giovanni gone, and some boring as hell admins running the gang, this plot was doomed to fail without someone carrying the team. The only good thing was that their plan was to try and get Giovanni back.
Team Magma 2/10 - Cool designs, especially in the remakes, Courtney was okay, but come on! WE CANNOT SURVIVE WITHOUT WATER, MAXIE!
Team Aqua 7/10 - We can live in a world with water, so Archie was onto something, but the group is held back by the story of Hoenn games. Still better than Magma
Team Galactic 10/10 - The plan was carefully constructed, Cyrus is a good villain, the admins here were better than in other games, the space cadet outfits are bland in a fitting way, and Team Galactic felt less like Pokemon villains and more like Final Fantasy or Xenoseries villains.
Team Plasma (Original) 10/10 - Plasma was the most unique team in the series, especially since they brought up the concept of “pokemon liberation,” gave us N, and had the most devious plan in the series. However this was revealed to be a lie that it’s founder, Ghetsis, used as propaganda to try and convince people to release their pokemon, so he can rule the world utterly, and the plan almost worked! That and the medieval aesthetic is VERY unique.
Neo Team Plasma 9/10 - Plasma may have lost all power, and the aesthetic is vastly different, but they’re still dangerous as hell, and the plan is literally one big revenge scheme (It’s a backup in the manga). Also Colress helps carry the team, along with a more demented Ghetsis.
Team Flare 5/10 - On one hand, Flare was not great in their debut games, but on the other hand, they’re better in other media.
Team Skull 10/10 - Best joke villains the series has ever made.
Aether Foundation 7/10 - Lusamine is fine, but aside from that these guys are just PETA. Also the existence of Faba is cringe.
Team Rainbow Rocket 10/10 - What a nice way of establishing what Giovanni would to with multiversial travel! Also this was a nice way of reintroducing Team Rocket!
Team Yell 8/10 - Team Yell was just a gym leader, his sister, and a bunch of twitter stans. The stans were an annoyance, but they weren’t awful, also Piers and Marnie were great.
Macro Cosmos 1/10 - Magma at least tried, Aqua was just held back, Aether had Lusamine, and Flare is salvageable. The ONLY thing goods about this company were Rose’s boss theme, and the POTENTIAL Rose had.
Team Star 10/10 - Team Star may not have been the actual villains, but they WERE antagonists, and in all honesty it was nice to see Tumblr Users and victims of bullying who fought back be perfectly represented in a video game.
Team Break 3/10 - These little shits are from a mere mobile game, and are annoying as hell, but they aren’t a steaming pile of shit so I needed to be based about their placement.
