With Team Skull confirmed to appear within the first few episodes of SM what role do you think they will play and do you think that we will get the Aether and the ultra beast plot later down the track?
 
Team Skull will be goofs clashing with Team Rocket.

The Aether Foundation will take a while to be introduced, but I don't see why it wouldn't happen at all. They're the key to Lillie's plot.
 
I figure Team Skull will just play out the same role they do in Sun/Moon. Disrupting trials, (possibly) holding cities hostage, and harassing random people. I'm hoping they do at least. After two sagas of the evil teams beg pushed to the end of the series, I'm thrilled to see Team Skull actually showing up early, so I desperately hope they play out their roles they have in the games properly.

The Ather Foundation I don't see being introduced for a long time. Ash is going to be at school for the first bit of the series and therefore probably won't start the trails for a while (I'm hoping not too long). So traveling from just the island to the next will happen much later. Ash may not even arrive to the Ather Foundation until the second half of the series. I wouldn't mind if that were the case, though. They should focus on Team Skull first before moving on to the organization that opposes them, imo.

If they handle these groups well, I think they have the potential for a great, well developed plot.
 
I don't see how they can possibly top the Team Flare arc from XYZ, but we'll see how this turns out. Maybe it'll be promising, who knows? TRYING to be optimistic and give this a chance.
 
Much like the writers of XY took the safe route by keeping the Flare storyline restricted to Mega Evolution specials and away from the main story, I suspect they will also do the same for the villains in SM or at the very least wait a while until the plot develops.
 
I expect SM series to take the BW route with it's villains in my opinion.
 
Everything we've seen of this team so far (game and animeverse) makes them look goofier than TRio. I'm hoping for an enjoyable heel-face-turn when Aether turns out to be the Big Bad Wolf.
 
I just hope it goes better than the Aqua-Magma story :cautious:

And I imagine the creative team will wait to see what happens in other Gen 7 (main series) games before committing to anything like they've been doing since DP.

That said, I want the TRio and TS Grunts have a series of pose-offs!


TS Grunt: Try deez moves, Rocket bitches!

Jessie or James: Oh, we could do this all day, Alolan amateurs!
 
If Aether are the real villains they probably will take longer to appear, let alone appear as bad guys. Team Skull will trade butt monkey status with the Trio between episodes.

Welp! Now we know that Lusamine is the big bad and that Team Skull was employed by her to do her dirty work. I wonder how long it will be before she appears.

I'm wondering if the animé will change anything about Lusamine's backstory, such as making the effects of UB-01's neurotoxins more apparent, or possibly even more potent and creating even more changes to her personality.
