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

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?"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.
I'm not sure, IRL is doing a pretty good job of it at the moment...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.

I agree, honestly. But it's a way of linking the games together, by keeping the enemies between them somewhat the same.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?"
The problem with Aqua & Magma is that they are different in all but execution. They both had exactly the same events and base locations in their games. The only thing that really divided them was the Pokemon they used, the Pokemon they sought and the people who were in charge, and the costumes. While that's a significant amount, in terms of gameplay and locations you get to visit/see, it doesn't affect a great deal. This can possibly be remedied to a degree by having them as the same team, but keeping the aesthetic/Pokemon differences.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.
