[Sword & Shield] Evil team ideas?

[HeroLinik]

So...evil teams. They've been a mainstay in every Pokemon game and the plot of the game will often involve the player having to thwart their goal before a catastrophe can occur.

What are you expecting out of the evil team in these games? I'm really hoping the evil team leader in this game is the professor.

 

[Fletchling]

The Tories

 

[PokéSpirit1]

I would like to see the hero stopping the ruler(s) or leaders/elite four/champion from starting a war instead of the all usual evil team thing..

 

[hotsushi-kun]

Team Name would be Darkness

 

[Flowerchild]

UKIP?

Like Ruby and Sapphire depends which version you buy.
One version has you fighting evil foreign elites trying to prevent the government from honouring the will of the people and the other version has you fighting the government in order to prevent Galar from leaving the PU and causing a regional catastrophe.

I think that Evil Team would try do like Brexit did... DO anything to leave Pokemon League restrictions and live by own.

I don't really care but hopefully they are interesting or have good designs.

I don't personally care as long as their goal isn't the whole cliche "we're going to take over the world" stuff that's been prevalent over the past several generations. It's why, IMO, Team Skull in SM/USUM was a nice change of pace.

I want someone from another region trying to start a war with Galor.

It could be argued they were not even evil. They seemed more like misfits over really evil.

Maybe an extreme traditionalist group? The region seems to be pretty industrialized, so I can see the evil team wanting to go back to the more simpler times, or something along those lines.

 

[Gnosiis]

I would like to see an evil team that really lives up to it's name as evil. I want a bunch of admins and a diabolical team lead. It has to be more than just stealing pokemon.

It's a stretch, but a villainous team based on a religious cult would be nice. They can water it down enough, like they did with the Arceus is god concept.

The team could be led by an evil priest/priestess whose beliefs are ridiculously extreme and he/she is frowned upon by other members of the faith.

 

[Iceshadow3317]

I think the evil team could be inspired by the War of Roses, Legend of Robin Hood or Legend of King Arthur or all three. There was so much civil war in the UK, that I think the Evil Team could be inspired by a Civil War. With both Kalos and Unova having a Civil War in the past and UK, France, and USA having a very large history together, I think they could all tie in.

I think it is possible that we could have King Arthur and Robin Hood going against each other, only for both side realizing they want the same thing in the end. The MC could stop a Civil War that destoryed both Unova and Kalos.

The IRA.

I can kind of see that as a possibility, with the rune-like characters appearing in several locations within the trailer that could be connected to the plot in someway. On the other hand though, I could see the evil team being something similar to Cromwell's forces in the English Civil War or the War of the Roses, but an cult would be cool too.

 

[Kieran]

I want there to be a king or the queen of the region and they are the mastermind behind it all.

Oooh, I actually like the sound of this idea! :D

 

[Yue Han]

If they are going to include a king or a queen I would have thought that they'd make them the champion.

Just have Theresa as the evil leader with her evil scheme being to use the box legendary to isolate us from the other regions and be done with it. #Galexit.

 

[Meadow]

Now that you mention it, the champion being the main antagonist would be an amazing idea. Especially if they were the ruler of the region on top of that. :o
