From ruthless Team Rocket of the first two generations to the ambiguous Aether Foundation of Generation 7, evil teams have been a staple of the Pokémon games (other media) since the very beginning. With Sun and Moon, one of the most basic and consistent features of the Pokémon adventure, namely the Gym battles and the badge system, has been removed. In general, the games were praised for mixing up the old formula and introducing something that felt fresh and unique to the region. Perhaps this is a sign GF is reconsidering more core elements of what makes a Pokémon game.
This got me wondering, what would a Pokémon game be like without evil teams? Would such a huge change also get a positive reception, like the Island Trials? What would be the alternative? Maybe we ourselves will even get the change to join a team, be it good or evil? I think this a very interesting topic to discuss, since it's not unthinkable GF decides to replace or alter this Pokémon tradition in future games.
