It sounds like a Bayonetta move. I love itThough... Does the name Eclipse Bullet appeal to you guys?

For purpose, I'll call them Team Eclipse. In Sun, they plan to use the Sun legendary for their agenda, a permanent solar eclipse. But in Moon, they plan to use the Moon Legendary for a reverse agenda, a permanent lunar eclipse. They may even have different admins, outfits and logos dependent upon the version you play as well.
It would be happenstance. You would progress through the region like you normally would but simply run into them and get tangled in their messes, and your player character by helping them out the first time would just bring an obligation every further time you bumped into them...@tyguy723: But then what would be the point of the player fighting them? If they're not doing anything wrong or interfering with something, then there would be no point in confronting them, and there would be no need for them to confront the player.
As interesting as this concept is, what you propose is similar to a holy war. I'm not sure that's something Pokemon wants to tackle.No crime, no destroy the world, alter the world, control the world...simply teams that value their legendaries as figures of prestige...
They had no problem with implied genocide/mass extinction. A holy war should be a piece of cake.As interesting as this concept is, what you propose is similar to a holy war. I'm not sure that's something Pokemon wants to tackle.

It honestly wouldn't be that bad since the ending result is that both views are not opposed to one another, but rather they go together... IMO it would be similar to how they made ideals and truth both acceptable at the climax of BW...As interesting as this concept is, what you propose is similar to a holy war.

That would be interesting, although in regards to the last bit, if they are going so far as to give them different outfits and logos, then it raises the question - "Why aren't we just making two teams?"
Mind you, I prefer your idea to another two-team dynamic. Team Aqua/Magma were very good in their specific circumstances, but in general, I prefer to have only one team to focus on.
holy wars are ambiguous. the mass extinction dealt with in XY would be almost unanimously recognized as bad. i don't think holy war would necessarily be off the table, although it would likely take a lot of Plasma-esque writing which i'd say isn't all that ideal.They had no problem with implied genocide/mass extinction.

Ambiguity is good - this franchise needs more shades of gray. BW was a step in the right direction.holy wars are ambiguous. the mass extinction dealt with in XY would be almost unanimously recognized as bad. i don't think holy war would necessarily be off the table, although it would likely take a lot of Plasma-esque writing which i'd say isn't all that ideal.
