[SPOILER] Team Star members discussion

[Ace Trainer 188]

Alright, so here is a thread where we discuss the villian team for the upcomming games, whether it's the designs for the characters, or how you guys plan to beat them for some variety in discussion.

Here are the leaked designs and information I found:

Spoiler:

Dark member
Fire member (already revealed)
Poison member
Fairy member
Fighting member

My thoughts:

Spoiler:

I quite like the designs of the Dark and Poison members, I really dislike the design of the Fairy member, and am generally conflicted about the design of the Fighting member.

So you guys have anything to say?

Pending story spoilers about these peeps, here are my first impressions:

Spoiler:

I like how each member wears some kind of alternative fashion, as if defying the school's strict dress code... but that comes at the cost of giving the Team a unified identity. I'm not sure how I feel about them as a whole, so I'll just judge them individually.

Mela (Fire): I admit I have warmed up to her quite a bit since she was revealed, but not to the point of being my favourite. She still looks like Blaze from the IDW Jem comics, and her boots are still way too big. These boots weren't made for walking...

Eri (Fighting): On one hand, finally a female Fighting-type specialist that isn't a wispy little thing! No offense to petite girls, but big ones need representation too. On the other hand, what in nine hells is she wearing!? I feel I have seen that costume before at some con I've attended, but I can't quite put my finger where, or whom it was supposed to be. Meh.

Giacomo (Dark): CAPELETTINO! See, his name makes me laugh because there's an Argentinian pasta brand called Giacomo, and they're most famous for their capelettini. Therefore, since Giacomo is called the same and he wears a cap, I'm nicknaming him Capelettino. Jokes aside, he's probably my favourite of the bunch because he's not as over the top and I actually vibe with his street/DJ style. I'm not sure how old he's supposed to be, but all I'll say for now is that he also kind of reminds me of a younger Dante from Xenoverse. Hey, maybe they're related!

Ortega (Fairy): Speaking of Xenoverse, there's no way this little guy isn't Victor's illegitimate son. Look at how they both rock those canes and how powerful they are! He also reminds me a lot of Bede from Sw/Sh, except he seems to be quite well off. I'm mixed on him overall - I want to like him, but I feel like he's too much of a rehash.

Atticus (Poison): ...so this is what a fake Paldean ninja looks like, huh? I'm so sorry, Koga. I still don't buy that you're from any of the Japan-based regions, but I feel bad for equating you to this... A-hole. At least you put in the effort to act like a ninja instead of just running around in a tacky costume. Point is, this guy is my least favourite out of all of them.

For now, I rank them from worst to best:

5. Atticus
4. Eri
3. Victor Jr. Ortega
2. Mela
1. Giacomo Capelettino
