Team Plasma Discussion
Yes, I know the new team can be discussed at the New Trailer Thread, but I feel there should be a thread where we can discuss more indepth about Team Plasma. Also there should be more info about them sooner or later.
http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b62/Vicky2006/Pokemon/TeamPlasma.png (Again, bare with my Youtube screencap image for the time being until I can find official art of them or something >.>; ). Finally, after waiting for quite sometime, it's confirmed that the new team will be Team Plasma and they're shown from the trailer Oha Suta played. For now we don't know too much about their plans, goals, etc., although most likely it'll be dealing with getting Reshiram and/or Zekrom. Liking though they seem to go for the medieval vibe. Then again, I'm a medieval nut. XD So, any thoughts, speculations, wild ideas about the team for the time being? :P *gets shot for likely bad pun* |
Love the outfits but the dudes don't look like dudes. I was hoping for variation but it is a uniform they most wear, down to their faces. *sigh*
*shoots yo for bad pun* Seriously? T.T______T.T :P |
I love and Hate their Outfits at the same time lolz There's something to it that I hate and love. Though the creast they have looks cool
|
I think that it is definitely an interesting choice. I personally would have never thought of a medieval-theamed organization which might make this plot way more interesting (even though it already was).
Something I find intriguing is the beginning of the sequence with the crown being placed on someone's head. Based on the picture of the grunts and the theme I would assume this has to deal with Team Plasma and the guy looks A LOT like N, not the evil guy they showed us a while back (with the red eye). So at the moment I have a few theories: 1. It turns out the guy is N who has gone insane with power. 2. The guy is N's father, is head of the organization, and is either trying to get his son to join, or despises his son and N joins up with you eventually to bring down his father. 3. Same idea as above, but with the guy as N's brother (may or may not be twin). 4. N has split personalities. 5. They have nothing to do with each other and it is just a coincidence the guy at the beginning of the sequence looks like N. ;) |
Wow, and I thought Team Galactic had suits that were unparalleled in crappy-ness.
Good job GameFreak, you know how to prove me wrong. |
Doesn't this seem a little old for now xD How will this make sense with the future part in Pokemon Black?
|
For some reason they remind me of knights and yet they also look like a particular group known for racism (won't say the name here, but you should get what I mean).
|
The look futuristic and medieval all in one. I like them.
|
I don't like them...Why do the costumes get more ridiculous each generation? I was really hoping there would be no team this time round... *sadface*

It gets boring Team Rocket, Team Aqua/Magma, Team Galaxy, Team /insertnamehere...*sigh* Anyways, actually they would look better if they got rid of those hoods. They want Plasma to look like this ? http://static.letsbuyit.com/filer/images/fr/products/original/63/99/costume-deguisement-adulte-homme-moyen-age-chevalier-arthur-tunique-longue-rouge-ceinture-casque-et-6399686.jpeg Well fine, but...at least they could try to make it suitable >_> Eh...I'm not saying I hate, but I'm not loving the design that much either D: |
Their name lacks any... inspiration.
Rocket was... well, the team already has the most respectable legacy anyway as the only realistically reprehensible one, and the others, Aqua, Magma, Galactic, they all reflect what the team wants to achieve. Plasma is just that blue, green or white glowing stuff you shoot around in space combat. Their costumes aren't bad per se, although the choice to add mail-esque hoods was in my eyes poor, they're just really out of place in Pokemon, inappropriate, eccentric; and now this has been taken the to point of humourability. The colour choices especially make them look more like knights of some good-doing order, but then again, the Teutonic order used white and black too, and killing pagans for being pagan isn't seen as a good thing anymore. |

Team Rocket grunts just looked like shady characters that would probably mug you. Giovanni was planning on using pokemon for money. Team Magma grunts dressed in red and wore hoods to protect themselves from things like soot. Maxie wanted to use lava and Groudon to expand the lands of the world. Team Aqua grunts dressed like Pirates. Archie wanted to use water and Kyogre to expand the seas of the world. Team Galactic grunts dressed in futuristic jumpsuits so they looked like spacemen. Cyrus was planning on changing the future. Team Plasma grunts dress like midieval knights to show that they are enforcing the old ways. Team Plasma's leader probably wants to change the ways of the present to how they were in the past. |
Is it just me or does it look like there going for a bit of a knight/royal theme just look at the costumes...? And if you have a look at the start of the trailer you see some guy putting some crown on some other guy... that must have somthing to do with Team Plasma then?
|
Quote:
Sure, and this is the part I like in the outfit. But their hoods are weird compared to the "knight" in that pic. Maybe it's because of the cross on it ? xD Dunno, but something's bugging me. >w< And the idea you mentioned of turning things back to how they were in the past definetly would be interesting. ouo |
Quote:
I don't understand where 'Plasma' has any reference to anything we've seen so far except a single non-legendary pokémon design. :S |
Quote:
- He has green hair - He talked about making the world black and white by separating pokemon and humans I was just keeping N's possible goal in mind when I was thinking of what Team Plasma was after. |
You may as well just stick dresses on the guys and suits on the girls.
|
Omg, this is the second time a Ben 10 reference could be made, first with Gigaiasu and now with Team Plasma being the Forever Knights! :)
Jk, But I actually really like them, I was expecting to be disappointed but I am not so I'm happy. |
Quote:
Im assuming that the third legendary is Ice, or whatever would combat a type of Plasma. Just to back myself up: Dry Ice contains no Plasma and neither does regular Ice. If the third legendary was Ice/Dragon that would confirm that we would have another third legendary that would be meant to stop the other two from causing havoc. |
Quote:
I agree with you on the midieval thing though! The knights, the crown... oh, and those buildings that came up at the start of the trailer looked somewhat like a castle to me.. |

Anyways, I hope they use a mixture of Fire and Electric type Pokmeon... I'd love to see one with a Denchura. |
Quote:
|
all I have to say about team plasma is ... siiiiigh.... -_-
|
No complains from me as usual, cool enough design ^^
But they don't look a tad evil though. |
To me, they look like they are in swim suits xD.

They look completely idiotic.
|
I greatly dislike their uniforms. the girls look like freaking maids. The name though, is the best yet. Galactic was too long, Aqua and Magma were ... Boring Latin, and Rocket was OK.
|
I just hope Team Rocket's crazy guy has jumped ship and gone back to his home country (being Isshu) and joined Plasma.
|
If the grunts have a Zubat i will kill myself (they might not, but maybe)
|
Another big mistake in my opinion. They look like nuns. I presume the taller of the two is male, though they haven't made it too obvious. Those hoods look ridiculous and Plasma is really boring name. I usually try to find something positive to say, but I've got nothing. Let's just hope their story can beat their costumes.
|
Well we've known for a while that they would be called Team Plasma but I don't think any of us knew they were going to be wearing such.... Unique... Outfits. Gone are my days of bashing the 5th Gen but when stuff like this comes up it makes it so difficult for me to contain myself. Come on Game Freak!!!
They wouldn't be as bad if they didn't have the hoods. I'm not going to complain though, it's different to say the least. That's what they were aiming for and they've achieved that. No-one said different was good though haha. |
Is it me or I do think the girl is kinda sexy? O_o

I for one like their uniforms. Like I said earlier, my only problem is that the males don't look very male-y. I wonder what type of Pokemon they'll use? Since Plasma is Lightning and Fire I guess they'll use those types, most likely the Zebra.
And stop being hung up on Team Rocket already >!< |

Interesting costume designs. I can't decide if I like them or not. I think it'd look better without the hood... |
Plasma...interesting name.
For those who don't know, the plasma is what you get when you heat atoms to really high degree. (Temperature higher than volcano's magma) I think that they are bunch of scientist who will try to make plasma and to do that, they'll need extremely powerful source of energy (reshirom and zerkrom) to do it. Also, their costumes are aweful -_- |
I HEAR COSTUME TALK.
Given that the past two teams have had unique uniforms, I have decided to introduce everyone this this comic.... http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1395149/22ef74611bcf1ebd398c57f7ebbc0d8e.jpg It doesn't explain much at first, but maybe now they are going for less...urking(?) uniforms? Also, seeing this, I still don't think N is the leader. HE LOOKS TOO YOUNG. 8C |
What do you mean by urking?
|
I get... I was urked when I saw Team Magma's uniform because it looked like Team Rockets Uniform with a short hoodie, and Team Aqua's looked like something you would see someone wearing at the beach...casually.
They just don't strike me as "THESE ARE UNIFORMS". Galactic did alright. They had a good thing going, but their hair styles were a major turn off. Plasma's uniforms look great for villainous teams. The way I see it, they are "Brave knights who fight for their king". (( Seeing how the crown detail has be thrown in. )) So for Game Freak to choose an actual knights design wows me a bit. |
Oh. Nah ... They were weird, but if everyone's wearing them their uniform, so they're uniforms. Im pretty sure thats were they come from. Though Aqua and Magma's uniforms are ... odd
|
well, because i can't stand aqua, galaxy, and rocket, PLASMA comes in second by default
i honestly don't mind them though..... maybe its the hoods haha |
Its the hoods ... Though, it does make them look more knightly
|
Does Pokemon Trainer N have any role in Team Plasma?
Also why is the dude wearing a skirt? |
He isnt ... And people are speculating about N. Nothings official yet
|
they're really strange :/// and scary
|
Their outfits kind of remind me of Knights Templar. I hope they change the name of Team Plasma because that doesn't seem like a good name for a criminal organization.
|
To me, they look like a bunch of freaks in Dutch outfits, they will never compare to Team Galactic, I bet their leader won't even give us nightmares like Cyrus did, I mena really, Cyrus was just..... sick, he wanted to destroy the universe and recreate it, apparently without emotions, seriously, his last words in Platinum
"Someday you will wake up in my world, a world without spirit...." The mere thought of it is just horrifying.... Considering their knight theme, we will probably be going for admins like Pawn, Bishop, Rook, Queen, and the leader King |
Quote:
|
I think it's called team plasma because Fire/Electric are plasma types or something.
The 3rd legendary is probably a solid type. IT could be eiether Dragon/Ice, Dragon/Rock, or Dragon/Steel. I'm putting my hopes in Dragon/Ice. |
Their uniforms suck hopefully they make up for it with an awesome plot
please PLEASE no midevil crap in Pokemon I hate midevil stuff |
Quote:
I can't speak for the story changes made in Platinum as I hate Sinnoh so much that even playing Pearl killed a lot of my interest in the series, so whatever... Pokemon villainous organizations are better if they're like Team Rocket, no long-term goal other than making money and the player character's presence is clearly more of an annoyance to them than a definite halting of their operations. If you must go the darker route, the villainous team leader needs to be someone that doesn't care that he lost to the player character. He'll commence with his world-destroying plans anyways regardless of what you do short of killing him or something. :D |

I wish I could say the same thing about Magma/Aqua but I fail to see how activating a volcano in the middle of the region could actually increase the landmass. They're all environmental terrorists. With that said, I think we can hope for Team BP soon. Quote:

Knights, Crown...yeah I can totally see a royal thing going on...

Quote:
I've never really had an interest in what these teams do, especially since they keep looking even more ridiculous and have even more over the top plans each generation. With Rocket they were just some gangsters trying to make some cash which was perfect. But these days I just find them annoying. I can't relate to them, I don't find them scary or clever and I just wish they weren't there. In the past few weeks I've been really excited about N and his character. I honestly thought this generation wasn't going to have a Team, and it was just going to be him. I was excited to have him interact with the player throughout the story, much like a rival, perhaps even sometimes act like a rival, but at some point turn as his feelings became stronger to the point where he couldn't control them. That would be when he lusts for power to do whatever it is he wanted to do, where he finds that crown which grants him that power. Then you'd have an epic battle with him, he loses the crown, and then he comes to his senses. That's what I wanted...something simple but relatively deep at the same time; something with character and story. That might still happen to some extent, but we're going to have these crazy medieval guys all over the place making it feel stupid. That's all totally my opinion of course. Some people probably prefer a whole team trying to take over the world or whatever, but I wanted a single foe that starts his journey at the same time as us, but snaps and loses control. |

Seriously though, the idea you put does sound awesome and not really over the top for a Pokemon game. Yeah, the grunts might be an annoyance, but as long as the overall plot and the foe are good, I'm cool. |
Great. I see the picture of Team Plasma and now I got a song stuck in my head...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfGpVcdqeS0 If there's not even a single Plasma Grunt in the NA/EU versions of B/W who makes even a PASSING reference to Monty Python and the Holy Grail, I will be sad. I mean, c'mon... Just my two cents... |
Quote:
But yeah, if the rest of the game is great (which it looks to be), I'll get over the team being there. |
Their the most evil of them all..Can't you see they just got back from robbing a renaissance fair?

they look like friggin knights...Plasma makes me think high tech, this is a dissapointment for me. But I'm guessing they want to stop industrialization and go back to the old ways?
|
First of all, I've seen lots of people saying that Fire is plasma. Fire is no plasma. Fire is not hot enough nor has the enough requirements to be a plasma. So, fire has nothing to do with plasma. But lightning does. Lightning is a plasma.
Quote:
The antique-ish theme going with their uniforms and the futuristic look from Isshu look promising. Maybe some storyline pertaining Victini (he cames from the past, hence 000) could be played here. Not forgetting Reshi and Zek, obviously. |
Meh. They could be futuristic knights. Like Steampunk but, obviously, not. Like the Forever Knights in Ben 10
|
what about my idea? huh? i think its good
|
Quote:
|
EPIC FAIL.... NOT!
they look like Knights from the medieval times, so badass you know their gonna have some wacko evil awesomeness XD |

Quote:
anyways if the king,queen,bishop,rook,knight,pwan thing is real then girl<--- this guy is probably bishop (not the highest[king] but he could be the person who makes N go crazy if that "guy" is N) |
... If hes wearing a crown, he's definitely the leader. Because Kings, and not Bishops, wear crowns. And now you'll pass AP History. For Idiots anyway

thats what i said but ohwell what do u thing the scouter looking thing is for
|
Looks? Pokedex rip off? Who knows.

|
Holy ****. They have got to be the gayest costumes I've ever seen for an evil team.
|
Well they look like they in a costume contest...but so did Galactic...
I like them anyways, I liked all the evil teams clothing except for Rocket...too plain... |
Quote:
Haha....but i don't think the mods approve of "gay". they look nothing like they represent "plasma". i thought their costume was cool until i realized they were based off mideval nights...are you freakin kidding? and isshu was supposed to be futuristic, but the guy who said that they want to return things to old times sounded interesting |

I think the first one is N, that or some generic "mystic girl" that has something to do with the plot, And on the other, probably the Plasma Leader, but I think that's a bionic eye, you know, like the ones villians usually have..... |
Quote:
The more I think about what we know at this point, the more I like my theory on the father/brother (twin). And for some reason I can't get an idea out of my head where you turn out to be destined to wear the crown or something. I don't know, but it could be possible... |
Quote:
|
they look like a cross a knights and dresses
|
I hope not. Admitting the Medieval influence in their name would suck.
Plasma may not fit, but it's yet to be translated right? For all we know, it's Team Renaissance. I actually like the sound of that ... |
Does anyone else love the name?
Apparently some forms of terrestrial plasma are most flames, and lightning. It fits the Fire-type of Reshiram and the Electric-type of Zekrom. I like the thought put in that. |
I love it, but I made it up. Does that count?
