Organisations

Teams

What if the Team Rocket-style organisation in the game is one that the protagonist can join and work their way up the ranks of?

I had a couple of pairings in mind:

• Team Skull are the bazaar-dwelling copyright-infringing pirates.
• Team Ark are conservationists who prioritise nurturing and studying TXMN over the political issues.

Or,

• Team Art and Team Science. One tries to use TXMN to advance humankind culturally and spiritually, while the other is obsessed with using TXMN for technological advancement.

In either case, they would sometimes clash and sometimes collaborate, and they'd both be typically opposed to the Cathedral - although they may form temporary alliances with the Cathedral to serve their own ends.

• Team Abyss and Team Fundament
• Team Rescue - believe that Pokemon should be liberated, so they fight you themselves - as martial artists, archers, psychics and magicians, with tanks and mecha, etc.
• Team Myth - worship Tuxemon as spirits and gods, a cult. Where the world doesn't fit the legends they were taught, they try to re-make it so that it does.
• Team Crypt - want to open up the gates to the underworld and bring back the dead.
• Team Net - control the internet and electricity. Can track you when you use electronic devices. Want to infect everything with a variety of viruses that they have at their disposal.
• Team League - the best trainers and champions use their power to run the world, under the guise of organising a big tournament.
• Team Aegis - attempt to protect the world from a monstrous tuxemon, but they go too far
• Team Moonshot - trying to reach a new planet with whole new TXMN
• Team Crown and Team Guillotine - bring back or depose the monarchy
• Team Carnival - carnies with magical tricks and powers
• Team Fossil - historical re-enactors, think everything was better in the past, want to bring back dead tuxemon
• Team Chimera - once upon a time, tuxemon and humans were one and the same. We should live as tuxemon do, and tuxemon should live as we do (could put their tuxemon in uncomfortable clothes, be governed by a genius tuxemon, etc)
• Team Portal - trying to connect this world with its shadow. In its shadow, the people are Tuxemon and the Tuxemon are people!
• Team Scout - teach self-reliance, teamwork, service, preparedness. Give badges for achievements, not gym-beating.
• Team Mongoose and Team Viper - warring street gangs trying to steal tuxemon and money; old-fashioned villains

With regards to Team Portal, the idea is that strange tuxemon would show up that resembled humans (see gijinka).
