Could it be argued (quite easily actually) that Team Plasma is not a "Villainous Team" at all. Outside of the Very end where Ghetisis goes completely off the rails, generally Team Plasma's cause is noble and their methods are not "Villainous" nor is their goal, it is heroic and noble. This game is Based on America, and their movement is easily compared to the anti-slavery movements of the Antebellum Period, this was a hard game for me to play due to this, so Team Plasma as a "Villainous Team" seems to be a mis-characterization. You, Cheren, Bianca, The Gym Leaders and the Junipers are closer "Villainous Team" than Team Plasma. --[[User:DrunkMachoke|DrunkMachoke]] 08:03, 4 May 2011 (UTC)

:Were you even playing the same game?

Honestly, you could say that Team Aqua and Magma weren't villainous teams, either—they felt that they were doing the right thing as well. Actions speak louder than words, and Team Plasma accomplishes its goals through crime. --[[User:AndyPKMN|Andy<sup>P</sup><sub>K</sub><sup>M</sup><sub>N</sub>]] [[User talk:AndyPKMN|(talk)]] 11:29, 4 May 2011 (UTC)

Knights

They look kind of like medieval knights, don't they? xD --PhantomJunkie 03:33, 31 July 2010 (UTC)

I'd agree, and that could in fact be something to do with their goals, or their names, or the style of their headquarters. Like with Team Galactic, or Team Aqua. But that's all just speculation on my part. But their crest looks like a chield, and that connects with the image of knights. I can't stop thinking of you, the Soul of the Dawn we spent together... 14:43, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
We could just mention that they resemble medieval knights (like how we make a note that Team Galactic's uniforms resemble space suits) and avoid all the speculation. --SnorlaxMonster 09:14, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
They look like German Order. Would make much more sense for them to be villains in a Poland-based region. But well... --Maxim 09:20, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

They're based on the knights templar. Strengthening the fact isshu is America.Vkickass 12:53, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

Giovanni, Cyrus, Maxie, Archie

In the trivia section, it states "They are also the first team where the leader is battled more then once, with N being battled a total of five times." However, in D/P, you battle Cyrus twice and in Pt you battle him 3 times. You also battle the leader of Team Aqua/Magma twice. Lastly, Giovanni is battled 3 times in R/B/Y/LG/FR Darkcloud1111 18:35, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

Fixed I deleted the whole peice of triva it was compleatly wrong. (Pokemaster97 18:38, 10 October 2010 (UTC))

Colour scheme

Their shield and uniforms contain contrasting black and white elements (the shield is even split in half. Should this somehow mentioned in the trivia section? I am not sure on the wording of that, though. And please do not comment on the third 'bluish' colour. --HTMLCODER.exe@bulbapedia$_ /usr/bin/apache2 -k restart 15:14, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

Villainous Team
