ideally this will be post game, when the other two's stories are done? I feel like quite a bit of the new stuff being advertised is post game tbh...
If it's post game, that's at least better. It's hard to know for sure, but if that's the case I'm absolutely going to be less upset about it. That said...

Also Team Skull and the Aether Foundation are PROBABLY going to have different motives in this parallel universe. They could both be good teams this time around, but we don’t even know that.
Even if the Gen 7 teams have different motives. Even if they're both good now. Even if the interdimensional agents also turn out to be good and that all the new teams are good. It still does not excuse that we're once again focusing on Gen 1. "We needed a villain team!" Then make a new one. Or, if you're really insistent on re-using teams, why not go for like...literally anyone else? Magma/Aqua could be an interesting group to show up, since they're familiar with environmental catastrophe borne from messing with powers beyond your control. Galactic would make sense, both as a tie-in to Gen 4 remakes and as the group associated with space, which is, you know, kind of a pretty big fucking theme of this generation. Or, hell, why not Team Flare? Not like their motivations ever got to make any damned sense, and Lysandre's thing was on beauty, something Lusamine also emphasized. Actually tie in the literally unfinished Gen 6 and give them something to do. You had all these options, and you went with the only team that disbanded twice. The only team that already took up two games. The only team that it makes virtually no sense for them to be involved considering Team Skull is already the exact same thing! Even if their motives change, it's far more interesting to focus on their changes rather than just throw in Team Rocket because "LOOK EVERYONE, IT'S GEN 1 STUFF AGAIN! DO YOU LIKE THIS?" No, Pokemon Company, I do not like this. I explicitly hate this. Do something new and just emphasize the new stuff for once. Oh wait, you can't, because the one time you did do that, everyone shit all over Gen 5.
