Like the title says. If you liked one team, and what they were after, which one is it? Or if you disliked one more than the other, why? I like Team Magma more, because Hoenn already has enough water and Aqua is trying to add more.

I guess I liked Team Magma more. I like fire types more than water types. However, they both did have some pretty crappy Pokemon. Sharpedo is easily OHKO'd and Camerupt kinda sucks.

Also, you brought up a good point. 75% of Hoenn is water, so why do we need more?!
Team Magma had a point! Get that crappy water out of there! We need balance!

I dunno, to be honest. The 2 teams doesn't interest me, but in my case, Team Aqua is better in my opinion, with much more better pokemon than Magma really (I can't stand Torkoals :(). You know...the Sharpedo family ;)

Since their goals are basically the same, just opposites, im going to pick based on design and go with Team Magma. I like their outfits a lot more, and although i think Carvanha/Sharpedo are really cool, i always liked Numel/Camerupt for some reason.

In terms of appearance, I like Team Aqua more because their uniforms are cooler. However, I think Team Magma's goal to have more land makes more sense. Humans can't live on water lol.

I've always liked Team Aqua ever since playing the games as a little kid.. Not particular reason besides perhaps the fact that I like Kyogre and the color blue more than Groudon and the color red..
Couldn't have put it better myself.

Well, there goes my next PokéPOTW :p

I've always preferred Team Aqua out of the two. I'd say they easily have the cooler costumes (maybe the best of any villanous team), and if there's anything that Hoenn could definitely use, it's more water!

Team Magma Because Team Aqua's leader seemed too reckless lol. Plus, their uniforms didn't fit the mood for me, too "Piratey" :P

I like them both - although I like Aqua a little bit more - Maybe because I prefer sapphire and Kyogre over Ruby and Groudon (:

Team Magma. They just seemed way more better for me then Team Aqua, and you could say they had better Pokémon? Don't quite remember, haha. I'll have to check in a bit. I'd also love to see Hoenn without it's water, it would be weird but awesome :3

From the anime perspective I like Team Magma more, just because Maxie was the first of the two to realize what colossal redacted-ups both Aqua and Magma were for waking Groudon and Kyogre.

In the games, I like Aqua better. Not so much with the "drown all of Hoenn" thing, but their uniforms were nice :)

I always preferred Team Magma; Ruby was my first Pokemon game (and my first videogame in general), so Maxie and his devil-hooded crew left a bigger impression on me than Archie and his pirate, haha.

I prefer their designs more as well, and their pokemon, even though there isn't much variety between Aqua and Magma most of the time.

Beyond that, I just really feel like Maxie has more of that 'snarky, monologue-giving villain' feel to him. Especially at the top of the volcano with the meteorite; he fit the atmosphere of the scene a lot more the Archie in my opinion.

Aqua's better to me. They look cool with the pirate costumes, they were after a really good Pokemon, and their plan was pretty good. Drowning everyone, how effective! Archie also seems like a badass boss. Dat beard. Sadly there isn't much difference between the Pokemon choices of Magma and Aqua, although Carvanha/Sharpedo's pretty cool.

I liked Team Magma in the beginning because Mightyena was one of my favorite pokemon and I liked their outfits more than the Team Aqua ones, Team Aqua seemed really simple and just no. But then later in the game I like Team Aqua more because I don't like having unpopular opinions. And Hoenn was just one big water level, nobody likes water levels, Team Magma was just trying to help us out.
