Here's a question that's been bugging me. Why is Team Plasma called "Team Plasma?" When it comes to evil team names, most of them make sense. Magma and Aqua fit their goals, Galactic wanted to remake the universe and was messing with space time, Flare, while spelled that way, was a homonym for "flair" as in fashion which tied into their theme and sense of ego. Skull...okay, no reason there, but the skull motif on their clothes added to the punk aesthetic. Team Yell, well, they're insane fans so I don't expect much of them. Honestly, from what I gather they don't really qualify as an evil team.
But then there's Plasma. It has a medieval aesthetic going for it. It wants to "liberate" Pokemon. They're messing with Pokemon that represent truth and ideals. For the life of me, I cannot understand how that relates in any way to either blood or the fourth state of matter. The only thing I can think of is "It just sounded cool," which would just be really dumb.
And then I realized I had the same question about Team Rocket. Why were they named that? Does anyone know why these two teams were named what they were, because otherwise I just don't get it.
