Team Magma or Team Aqua?
 
Hello everyone! RSE are my favorite games in the Pokemon series. There are two teams in RSE... Magma and Aqua. I loved the fact that you could battle a different team in different games! Which team will you side with? I'm with Magma.

Discuss away! :)

Dos_Gyarados August 6th, 2013 4:14 PM

Aqua just because I played the Sapphire version.

Andrew August 6th, 2013 4:45 PM

Team Magma simply because I like their emblem more.

Both teams are absolutely insane (just like all the other villains of course :P), so it's not like I can choose based on their motives XD

Captain Oshawott August 6th, 2013 4:56 PM

I really couldn't say for sure. Archer and his Aqua team hunger force-er.... Team Aqua seemed a tad bit more insane. That, and they were Pirates, or they looked like them anyway. I thought they were much cooler than team Magma. Although Max was pretty cool too.

As for siding with them, I still would have to say Aqua. Not because Sapphire was my first RSE generation game. But because c'mon, their pirates! That's pretty cool! That, and Kyogre is, based on type advantages here, stronger than Groudon. If I had to support one of those two legendaries and blindly follow them, I would choose Kyogre.

Both are good teams, but I prefer Team Aqua. It's kind of hard to take Team Magma seriously, mainly because of their outfits. Their outfits look very childish to me. Also, I find Archie to be more evil-looking than Maxie. Maxie looks like one of those guys that help you out throughout your journey. xD

I'm going with team shelly! http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/e/e2/Spr_RS_Shelly.png


Paperhat545 August 6th, 2013 5:59 PM

Haha, Fenneking, I couldn't help but laugh at that post haha! Anyways, if I were to pick which team was the best, and that I would side with, it would be team Magma. I like how cool and collected Maxie is, and how fiercely intimidating Team Magma is, while Team Aqua just seem like a bunch of pirates.

Kyros August 6th, 2013 7:07 PM

Team Magma because if they ended up expanding the land there would be less water pokemon, and since there are more water pokemon than any other type in the game it would only make things more even.

XeroNos August 6th, 2013 10:00 PM

Team Magma because I personally prefer Grouden over Kyogre...

.:batto:. August 6th, 2013 10:16 PM

Team Magma. The reason for this is there motives. They were planning on making more land. For people & Pokemon. Which i think is cool. {XD}

& in Pokemon Emerald i believe i remember the leader of Team Aqua start to panic when everything got Cray'
Team Magma FTW.

I would agree with Kyros on this one! :3

Brendino August 6th, 2013 11:55 PM

Maybe it's because I almost exclusively played Sapphire, but I'm going to go with Team Aqua over Team Magma. Granted, both teams ideas of flooding or drying up the planet weren't all that well thought through, but at least life would continue existing in some form in a world of water (maybe not human life, though). Plus, Team Aqua were a bunch of pirates, which is much more exciting than whatever Team Magma's outfits were supposed to be.

Therizinosaurus August 7th, 2013 12:58 AM

have to go with team magma. they just seem like such better villians.
magma: hahahaha! we're going to make the volcano erupt! the lava will flow over the land and into the ocean, expanding the continents, expanding the land mass, and causing dramatic changes to the environment in the process

aqua: hahahaha! we're going to inactivate this volcano! and then over time, it will fill with water and become a habitat for water types, like goldeeen and magikarp!

I never understood why people always say Aqua because I played Sapphire or Magma because I played Ruby. Wouldn't it be the other way around? In Emerald you go against both of them, but in Ruby you're on Aqua's side and in Sapphire you're on Ruby's side.

Kikaito plush August 7th, 2013 1:10 AM

It is weird to say cause I am an ninja I prefer the pirate team Aqua.
Not because I played Sapphire/Emerald but because I liked Archie over Maxie.

pokemasta92 August 7th, 2013 1:10 AM

Because of the team: AQUA
Because of the goal: MAGMA

Team Magma has the right idea with wanting to increase the amount of land. Areas of the world are becoming over populated and we could do a lot more with some extra space. Plus the Hoenn region already has enough dang water!

However if we set aside the goal, I like Team Aqua the best. Although I don't agree with adding more water, I do like everything else about them. The whole pirate look is just awesome, unlike Magma's silly Halloween costumes. I played Ruby first and it's a good thing because I get to be on their side throughout the game and I don't have a problem with that! Believe it or not I actually prefer it to Emerald for that reason alone.

True that. I liked magma more so I bought sapphire! :)

KorpiklaaniVodka August 7th, 2013 5:53 AM

I prefer Team Magma, because I like Groudon more than Kyogre, and they also have a better-looking emblem and Maxie > Archie.

Aeroblast August 7th, 2013 7:56 AM

I like Aqua's outfit better, though otherwise they're neck to neck in my opinion.

Sirfetch’d August 7th, 2013 5:28 PM

I'd side with team Aqua because Kyogre is my favorite legendary <3

T!M August 7th, 2013 5:50 PM

If you go here. Two of the previous avatars are Aqua related. This tells you right away who my favorite team is.

But it's not because of what they stood for or what kind of Pokémon they used (Except Sharpedo, who is my favorite of Gen III). No, it was because of one, single, thing. Their style. They have the coolest looking dress code in the series. Magma looked stupid with their cat hoods, both Galactic and Plasma with their stupid hair and more even so than Rocket as they just looked like common thugs.

Yes, the bandanna made the look.

Aqua hands down. I always wished after Gen III that one of the new male protagonists would have a Bandanna. :(

Quetzal August 7th, 2013 6:07 PM

I like Magma's outfits more, but I voted Aqua. After playing both Ruby and Sapphire, I just preferred the big ass storm after they summoned Kyogre over the drought. It was cooler. Flooding the world just seemed like a darker goal.
I didn't like either of their leaders though.

Elixir. August 7th, 2013 6:56 PM

Team Magma has the cooler outfits in my opinion. I don't really like the whole pirate/sailor thing that Team Aqua implicates into their outfits.

Hikamaru August 7th, 2013 7:23 PM

Even though Ruby was my main version over Sapphire, I voted Team Aqua due to my favoritism for Water-type Pokemon.

What do you mean "Even though"? In Ruby you're on Aqua's side! That's why I prefer Ruby over Sapphire.
