Disclaimer: This is not a post about the ethics of being a Pokémon trainer, Team Plasma, etc.

But there is an interesting group, specifically in S/V: Team Star. From what I've seen, Star does appear to be somewhat left-wing, although it is kinda hard to place real-world political labels on a cartoon game made for U13s. I'd like to hear comrades' opinions on these things

Team star are a group of high-school dropouts who left their school due to a rampant bullying problem the administration did nothing about.

Like any interesting idea in pokemon, the game they feature in does absolutely nothing with this idea, trying to use them as plot twist villains because on of the directors of the games read somewhere that people really like that and so every pokemon game since X and Y needs one, no matter how little sense it makes or how much it ruins the overall story. And while I'm complaining, why the hell do they keep giving the teams the most banging battle themes, but have the battles end after like 20 seconds? Give these guys some decent pokemon for a change!
