I'd definitely say that they were the worst team, but the only ones that I really saw as good were Rocket and Plasma, probably because their goals were the most realistic. Well, Platinum Galactic wasn't bad. It had a very cliche anime/movie goal (well, Cyrus did), but it was pretty progressive for pokemon.

Nothing against the other teams, it's just that they were more memorable for what they were than what they stood for. More "as a part of the adventure" than anything else. The real problem with Flare is that they said that they had a goal, did things that had almost nothing to do with it, and were basically sidelined by all of the other story and characters. Though I did like that this game had a story apart from "kid goes on journey", and that they had emphasis on characters. Even if it did give us Tierno.

Still loved XY more than most other Pokemon games, though.

Maxie was an industrialist with several legitimate avenues of wealth. Mining, landscaping, real estate, agriculture. He wasn't a geologist, meteorologist, or environmental scientist - he didn't fully understand the breadth of Groudon's power. However, he understood very well Hoenn was mostly water with burgeoning populations ready for expansion and resources to extract. Groudon would increase the landmass, allowing for great profit. Having the volcano erupt right over the desert to the east, would make the land very fertile and expand agriculture, and the emptied volcano could be more easily harvested for resources. He was a businessman manipulating mostly deluded fanatics.

Archie is similar - he's clearly just a pirate, albeit a very talented one. He can pilfer and pilot a submarine and is much more successful at raiding companies like Devon than Magma. Since Aqua is based on maritime thievery, expansion of the sea increases a reliance on sea industries and sea travel, making it easier for Aqua to raid ships for goods.

Aqua and Magma are criminal organizations fronting as eco-terrorists. Archie and Maxie recant their advances when they understand how destructive and uncontrollable Kyogre and Groudon are - as businessmen, not historians or environmental scientists, it took an apocalypse to make them see past their greed.

...Then again, one of my favourite headcanons is that Maxie wanted to broaden the land for practical purposes, while Archie created Team Aqua for the sole purpose of pissing Maxie off.
